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.

Underclock AMD GPU (lemdro.id)

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.

Awesome thank you. Should I remove the driver's I installed? FWIW I had this exact issue on Windows when that card was there so it's not purely a driver issue.

Yup, remove the installed drivers. Good luck!

Got it working. Thank you. Now if only it was as easy to compile and build apps on windows as it is on Linux I'd be set. I've spent the better part of the night trying to build synergy on my windows machine because I'm to cheap to just hand them money for the compiled version 😂

Look up barrier instead

Couldn't get that to work sadly. spent hours trying to build synergy on windows wasn't having luck and found barrier. Would start on windows just fine but the linux install would only start as a server for some reason. Ended up just buying Synergy since it's much cheaper than a hardware KVM.
