It’s not that hard after all, but requires some attention span at least initially

I created an issue in tracker for Steam Linux client: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/11518 Found some logs in Steam directory:

Interesting…

What games though

Try to explain your problems to him/her, the most simplistic way so that they can understand it.

Sure, Linux has some selling points and it’s a good moment for it to try and gain new users, but I’m tired of people acting like it’s the YOTLD because of what Microsoft is doing to Windows. It’s just delusional

Like if people actually cared that a Windows version goes EoL. That literally means nothing to most people and typical PC user won’t even notice anything until something will functionally break, which will take YEARS after it’s EoL.

O thanks! I needed glxgears equivalent for Wayland at some point

Is it the little guy on the left and his buddy on the right, or the other way around?

If there anything related to amdgpu in output of sudo dmesg?

I’ve got the same gpu and never seen this

Maybe it’s playing a video in the background while on the menu? Then it could be a problem with codecs. Have you tried GE-Proton by any chance? It has media-foundation codecs builtin

My bet is it tries to default to mode that your display doesn’t like, probably because of some wrong info in monitor’s EDID downloaded from the connector, but that’s just my guess.

Before booting, use key e on grub menu, locate line where there is initrd to pass boot parameters. You can force modes using video= parameter, and you can also replace/modify your EDID. Refer to section # Forcing modes and EDID on this page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_mode_setting

These changes can also be achieved permanently by editing /etc/default/grub and regenerating its configuration, in case you use grub.

Easiest would be to have separate extra monitor temporarily or another computer to connect over SSH, but if those low “safe” graphics modes work, that can probably do also.

Screw distros, just use Arch

Interesting! The UI looks like it uses GTK for drawing widgets?

See that, GoG? This can be done, it doesn’t hurt and there are already tools that can be used to build it without all too much effort.
