If you can see the "show contact info" dropdown below, I follow you. If you want me to, ask and I'll think about it.


everyone talks about how switching from Windows to Linux is overrated and in a lot of ways that's true if you don't care about computer

but even on my windows machine I have Linux installed. Why?

because when Windows crashes abruptly most of the software writing their own logs never seem to write what caused it to the logs and minidumps often aren't useful. but the logging story on Linux is very different, everything's constantly writing to the place most of the logs go.

this brought to you by me hating everything about Linux today but only because the logs let me get this far into the unbeaten path that I may have to write my own patch

"#this is still that fucking amdgpu bug"

HOLY SHIT SOMEONE ELSE HAS IT I was going INSANE for over a whole year dealing with that damn bug.
I rebuilt my ENTIRE PC fully trying to pay my way out of it only to make the mistake of buying ANOTHER AMD GPU and fixing nothing (PLUS a UPS, PLUS getting our power transformer replaced [which was necessary, but unrelated]). It was months later I started to see on forums it might be the architecture itself and bought an Nvidia card - INSTANTLY FIXED. It was the most depressing, unsatisfying kind of relief I've ever felt.

Good luck to you

which one lol.

this one is black squares at the bottom of any fullscreen game that's not native resolution run by steam via xwayland. fixed by... turning on steam fps counter because I noticed the friend notifications made the corruption go away. Which brings up more questions than it answers, but it works for now.

but there's a few.

oh hah - that seems even worse. Mine was the random BSOD / Kernel panic. While rebuilding the PC I also tried Win 10 / Linux / Win 11 and had the same near meaningless errors. I think the linux logs were more specific that it was an AMDGPU thing.

It was so frustrating because I would update the BIOS or some nonsense and it worked fine for a month and THEN it would happen again. Never consistently but never went away. Awful
