    I noticed this as well a few months ago and it did change the monitor brightness for real, but now it broke on my system and wont do it anymore

    Secret i learned on my raspberry pi running stereo speakers on Kodi is you can set a seperate volume for the dialogue channel so i just bumped it up like 14 decibels and now it matches the action fairly well. You can set it from the audio settings inside the movie and its called something like center channel downmix i cant remember exactly

    Is your entire system crashing?, for me i have to do a hard reboot once it happens. if it gets too bad i can always play the game in a windows VM as im playing with a friend and crashing all the time would be annoying

    My rx 480 worked way better in terms of not crashing, it did have graphical glitches in games but i guessed thats down to using Wine. Im also using Arch so maybe that in combination with the 6650 is making it more unstable, i gotta revert to using LTS kernel every few months to stop my system crashing randomly

    I dont have the error message atm unfortunately cause to have more disk space i set my system to delete the logs quite often (ill probably revert this now as ive got way more space), but the one part i do have is this "GCVM_L2_PROTECTION_FAULT_STATUS" , thats 95% of the times the error that shows up whenever my pc freezes

    I looked it up and theres a bunch of mesa bugtracker issues listing the same error but honestly gpu driver stuff is so complex who knows whats really going on. baldurs gate 3 has crashed my whole system 3 times in 20-30 hours played, but except for that this past month ive also started getting blackscreens waking up from suspend sometimes on the non LTS kernel, luckily LTS fixes that for now, but not baldurs gate. The past year i've had this gpu theres been like 5 times where an update made the amd drivers unstable and ive had to change back to the LTS kernel to resolve it, maybe thats cause im using arch and stuff is more bleeding edge, but i havent had this many issues on my rx 480

    I had an rx480 that worked fantasic until a firmware update made it start freezing my pc in games after suspend, solution was to rollback that package to an older one or never use suspend. I currently have a 6650xt and that just crashes whenever it wants to sometimes, works fine for a few months then decides to freeze my whole pc, playing bg3 atm it froze on me like 3 times already

  • AMD has been taking so many W's, they're just giving them away
  • hschen hschen Now 100%

    Ive only ever used amd gpus and intel cpu, and the only hardware issue ive had is one gigabyte card having a firmware bug that killed it. amd always worked great on windows for me, but on linux they suffer from crashing quite often.

  • Anon uses arch btw
  • hschen hschen Now 60%

    Im sure that arch would probably cause more issues than mint in the long run, i was just saying Mint or any other beginner distros are not exactly 100% issue free as some would claim them to be

  • hschen hschen Now 77%

    Not the guy you replied to but i put Mint on my uncles pc, tried to install some software and it just gave me some errors, tried fixing it for about 40 mins and gave up and just put windows on it. I had an Kubuntu install that just randomly killed itself after a few months as well. It worked fine for a while, then i restarted one day and wouldn't boot giving some drive error, and i ended up moving to arch after that. Arch has been working very well for me and it has had issues but i could always solve them quite easily.

    At the end of the day all linux distros are essentially running the same software, the only difference is the version of software you're running, some update faster some slower.

    Not metal but these guys introduced me to between the buried and me which led me down the progmetal pipeline. This song is probably one of their proggiest songs id say. They also have done a btbam cover and btbam did a cover of their song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_p06LEnSfg

    Was looking for something to post here, found this album on spotify. their sound reminds me of An Abstract Illusion a bit, not bad on a first listen. This song in particular kinda sounds to me like the ending of Selkies from BTBAM

    Just listened to this album, pretty good stuff, although on a first listen it felt like they repeat ideas alot. Something reminded me of Caligulas Horse in some of the songs.

    Beautiful melodies and orchestration. The Dear Hunter tells a 5 album story from start to finish. If you like music with a story check them out, they have a ton of repeated motifs across the 5 acts which reward relistens and connect into the storyline. You can look up the story online if you wanna know whats going on.
