Do you mind if I ask what you had tried to fix it? You could try using mesa-git for the latest bleeding edge driver's for that new of a card.

I'm both an AMD (7900XT) and NixOS user. AMD drivers are known for being a bit wonky when they're brand-new on Linux.

I continue to have a particularly bad experience with anything Flatpak (I chalk that up to its Ubuntu influences, rather than Linux in general), but everything else works perfectly.

Thank you, I can't remember what I did try though, and it had been a while since I had Linux as my primary OS. I was still trying to figure out how proton worked with steam and whatnot.

By the time I get around to trying it again my card will be sufficiently aged I probably won't need to worry about it :D
