Be helpful

Posts to pop_os must be helpful. When responding to a user asking for help, do not provide tongue-in-cheek responses like "RTM" or links to LMGTFY. Linking to direct sources that answer the asker's question is fine, but it's advised to provide some explanation as to how you got to that source.

Critique should be constructive

We within the Pop!_OS community welcome helpful criticism or ideas on ways to improve. However, basic "It's bad" or other simple negative comments don't help anyone fix anything. When voicing a complaint about something, try to point out ways the complaint could be improved or worked around, so that we can make a better product for it.

This rule applies to both Pop!_OS and its projects as well as other products available from third-parties.

Don't post malicious "advice"

It can be funny to joke about malicious commands, however this is not the venue for it. Do not advise users to run commands which will lock up their systems, steal their data, or erase their drive. Examples of this include (but are not limited to) fork bombs, rm, etc.

Posts violating this rule will be removed, even if the post is clearly in jest. Repeated offences may lead to a ban. You may understand that the command isn't serious, but a new user might not.

I’m kind of tired of my nvidia GPU. I feel like my desktop is fairly unstable and I suspect it might be the culprit. What’s your experience been like using AMD?

edit: Y'all inspired me. I've just bought a new RX6600 for $180. Seems like a good deal. :)

AMD 5600g CPU and 5700xt gpu. No issues here.

6700xt user for the past 10 months maybe. Been zero complaints and the card has been performing great.

I can also vouch for both my Laptop and Desktop PC - although my Desktop isn't currently running Pop OS, when it did it ran fine with no real issues besides stuttering in Elden Ring at the time (Xorg). I assume it would have run way better in Wayland as I am currently using Cachy OS but ofc, that is Arch.

I do love PopOS on laptops though as it makes full use of trackpad gestures and overall, the OS is stable and doesn't require as much upkeep as an Arch base distro - but to your question again - AMD is fine on it.

5700xt here. No issues to report. Performance and stability are great!

AMD user of both CPU/GPU over here. Eh, its working as expected -- haven't seen any odd glitches or bizarre things like missing textures and the like if that is what you are wondering.

[–] sosodev 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have you had any stability issues? My desktop regularly crashes while gaming with my Nvidia GPU.

Also, have you tried wayland?

[–] GustavoM 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nope. Been running wayland for quite some time, actually -- around 3 years ago.

[–] sosodev 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That’s awesome. Thanks for the info friend :)

No problemo. Have a good one.
