Well, for starters, unless you’re running a quite old card you should be using amdgpu, not radeon. You seem to have them both loaded.
Post a dmesg?
ERROR: […/src/amd/vulkan/radv_physical_device.c:1877] Code 0 : Device ‘/dev/dri/renderD128’ is not using the AMDGPU kernel driver
This is the smoking gun, btw.
I see you’ve got it working, so I’ll just add a bit of explanation.
AMD GPUs used to use a driver called radeon
. It was replaced with the current amdgpu
driver. For a while, you had devices that were supported by both drivers and you could choose between the stable radeon
driver that was missing features like Vulkan and HDMI audio or the brand new amdgpu
driver that had the newest features but was unstable and not well tested.
The kernel has a policy of not unnecessarily breaking things with kernel changes so even though amdgpu
has been well tested in the years since, devices from that era still default to the radeon
driver and need to be forced onto the amdgpu
driver.
I mean, there is, but people have worked hard to set it up so you can just click the button and it all happens.
Slackware just does as it’s told and gets out of the way.
I meant to do this when I built my old system back in 2018, but I found the handful of games I regularly play worked okay on Linux so I never got around to it, and Linux game compatibility has improved leaps and bounds from there.
If it’s a Steam game, for most of them these days you only have to tick a box in Steam’s settings to tell it to use Proton for all games and the game will just work when you click play.
You might give it a try. Or don’t, I’m not your mother.
They also wouldn’t allow the new devs to talk to the old devs, so they had to figure out the old codebase for themselves.
I know whenever I try to help someone with a Linux issue it’s always an uphill battle to get them to stop guessing what they think the problem might be and show me the logs.
People really don’t want to give you the information you need to help them.
Depends on what they actually need to do. When it’s a drive that’s working and they just have to image it and run some recovery software it should be pretty cheap.
Clean room repair of dead hard disks is a different story.
Well, Toyota’s claims about batteries are intended to convince people not to buy EVs yet. They’re going to be SO much better real soon now so just buy another Toyota gas car and think about EVs next time.
It’s just another flavour of the anti-EV FUD Toyota has been spewing for a decade now. They’re also saying that hydrogen is the future and that gas will always be 70%+ of the car market, so you have your choice of anti-EV FUD. Consistency doesn’t matter when you’re running a disinformation campaign.
If there’s something really important on that disk, don’t do ANYTHING, just unplug it and hand it over to a data recovery company.
If there isn’t anything really important on there, go ahead and try and do it yourself.
Paying $100 to a data recovery company can save you a ton of headaches if it has the only copy of your thesis on there and you mess it up trying to fix things yourself.

GNU Parallel works well for this kind of thing. A lot of audio stuff is single threaded, so unlike video transcoding running multiple conversions simultaneously is a useful thing to do. The command is simpler, too:
parallel ffmpeg -i {} {.}.opus ::: *.m4a
The culture:
Some people don’t have the space at home to set up a working area and really want to just go to an office that their employer pays for, and that’s fine.
Never know when you’ll have a flush of inspiration.

I switched my laptop to Wayland about three years ago. AMD graphics, normal DPI 60Hz screen, doesn’t really do more than run a web browser.
My gaming desktop needed more of those troublesome edge cases hammered out - freesync in xwayland, app DPI scaling in xwayland, etc. I only switched it last year.
That’s a book thing more than a movie thing, IIRC. Hammond was more of an asshole cheapskate in the book.
I saw a post a few weeks ago about a company’s chatbot that had learned from Reddit to answer questions by saying:
