FWIW I had to install newer drivers from a PPA because the latest stable Mint didn’t support my RX 7900 XT.
Shouldn't be a problem anymore, was only an issue with firmware when the card was super new
This was literally last week
What version of mint? Why are they so incredibly behind? Hasn't been an issue on other distros for like a year
The latest LTS, currently 21.3
Mints default channel is based on Ubuntu LTS
So is my distro pop os 22.04, no issues
Pop!_os ships with specific kernel tweaks to make it play nicer with GPUs
In this case looks like they just go to the basic effort of updating the linux-firmware package
Applause to them, even if that's all they're doing. For personal computing you can basically always count on Pop!_os to work no matter your hardware configuration (within reason, 32-bit machines aren't really something you need to consider anymore)
