From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Recently installed Linux Mint on an old computer. I put my old RX 590 in it. I only upgrade from the 590 because on every boot on my windows machine I would need to go into adrenaline and underclock the GPU a bit to stop it from crashing when I tried to play games. Adrenaline isn't a thing on Linux so I have no idea how to go about doing this now. Would prefer it just be set there on every boot but I am willing to do it manually each time I start the machine.

I did install the driver from AMDs website but otherwise I'm pretty much at a loss.

Use the default mesa drivers and use corectrl. Depending on the version of mint you're using, you might need to install the appropriate ppas (just google them, you'll find them)

Got core control working. Did have to update something in the Kernel to get full control and access to stepping but it's working perfectly now.

You mean the feature set in the grub config? Their guide on setting up your system to get all the features is quite easy to do and linked on their git lab page

Honestly no idea. I ended up switching over to EndeavorOS today so I need to get it set back up again. 😂
