<div dir="ltr">Most certainly is an AMD issue, download Ubuntu, download the AMD driver, it breaks. Your advice is to just not download the drivers, great. How you rationalize that as acceptable is astounding if I could get a refund I would just switch to NVidia.<br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Feb 24, 2019 at 2:21 PM &lt;<a href="mailto:bugzilla-daemon@freedesktop.org">bugzilla-daemon@freedesktop.org</a>&gt; wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

        <pre>It is, see <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/unactionable" target="_blank">https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/unactionable</a>

I have no idea which &quot;download&quot; you refer to, why you think that
<a href="http://bugs.freedesktop.org" target="_blank">bugs.freedesktop.org</a> is a place to discuss your problem, or what exact software
and software versions you refer to, so nobody can and will help.

And again: please contact Ubuntu folks about Ubuntu problems. 
You are in the wrong place here. Please understand that. Thanks.</pre>

<div dir="auto">Obviously you&#39;re used to nvidia/windows way on doing things. You are on linux now. Opensource is the whole philosophy. So yes, please just use the free/opensource drivers that come bundled with your favorite distro. This is the preferred way to go with AMD hardware.<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Here&#39;s the Radeon 7 with opensource amd drivers:Â <a href="https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&amp;item=radeon-vii-linux&amp;num=1">https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&amp;item=radeon-vii-linux&amp;num=1</a></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Benchmarks between different mesa versions, so using an ubuntu ppa such as oibaf or pandoka does matter to get the newest stack and best performance:Â <a href="https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&amp;item=mesa182-4-july&amp;num=1">https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&amp;item=mesa182-4-july&amp;num=1</a></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">And.. the icing on a cake, the comparison between opensource radeonsi and closed source (amdgpu-pro/radeon software aka the one you&#39;ve downloaded): <a href="https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&amp;item=radeon-software-1820&amp;num=1">https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&amp;item=radeon-software-1820&amp;num=1</a>Â </div><div dir="auto">As you can see, apart from the fact that the closed source one is kind of behind in performance, it also has some issues running some of the benchmarks (aka it crashes), hence your experience.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">So, in conclusion, yes. For polaris, on linux, use opensource drivers. If you&#39;ve messed up the distro with alot of experiments and closed source driver installations, perhaps it would be better a fresh install and just use mesa/llvm packages from pandoka ppa stable with a recent ubuntu mainline kernel.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Goodluck,</div><div dir="auto">Cheers!<br><br><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature" dir="auto">---<br>Sent from mobile, apologies for typos.</div></div></div>
