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.

Nice, that looks pretty obvious.
In addition to the other reply, you should search around your distro* having problems with (certain) AMD gpus; maybe all you need is a backported kernel.
* I don't think you ever mentioned. If it's Ubuntu-based, search for Ubuntu.
I use linux mint debian edition (LMDE)
Could it be a CPU/iGPU too new for the kernel LMDE is running? I haven’t used LMDE in a while, so I imagine that if it’s still based on bookworm the in-kernel drivers could be too old. If it’s trixie-based that probably isn’t the problem though.
