RX6600 on arch. It was kinda a nightmare a few weeks ago ngl. The whole screen freeze, lost the video signal then gives false hopes by returning the signal to the screen but still freezed requiring a hard reset.

• I crashed in the middle of a game.
• I crashed on the desktop when i just started the session.
• I crashed every time i tried to open blender 4.0 because i enabled the HIP option, some rocm or mesa had dependencies issues or something, i ended up installing the flakpak.
• I was blown away when i discovered that launching LibreOffice made me crash, ended up using the flatpak too.

I made a new fresh install of arch on a different drive and did some quick tests, the issue was still here.

I’m not having those frequent freezes anymore so there’s that. Don’t know what’s so special about these cards but holy moly that’s my first time having so many issues with a graphics card.
