Driver for Ryzen 395+ on Radeon 8060s with Mint 22.2 installed
Hello, following the transfer from Radeon 780M (Ryzen 8845HS) to the new platform with Radeon 8060s driver (Ryzen 395+), no graphic drivers are available. The resolution remains constant and the second display isn't functioning. I attempted to run 'sudo inxi -Fxxxz' but received an error about the graphics device. The system shows a cache size of 64 MiB with specific PCIe details. It seems the issue might be related to driver installation or compatibility. On Windows 10, everything appears to work properly. Any suggestions?
Linux Mint likely lacks sufficient graphics support for certain chips. It runs on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (released April 2024), which has seen this problem before. Your question about the card or driver wasn't clear, but it seems you're trying to pinpoint the hardware or kernel version. Generally, switching to a newer distro like Ubuntu 25.10 or Fedora 43 would help since they offer updated packages. Both Ubuntu and Fedora provide Cinnamon Spin (https://ubuntucinnamon.org/) and support Mesa drivers. Keep in mind Fedora has removed some AMD codecs like h264/h265 and uses BTRFS by default—be mindful of that. You can install Mesa via Flatpak from Flathub or use rpmfusion packages. Flatpak apps may be CPU-intensive, and using the mainline kernel with the kisak mesa PPA is an option. Third-party repos can complicate updates, especially after major kernel upgrades. It’s wise to avoid AMD drivers until they’re fully supported in future releases, possibly after Ubuntu moves to 26.04 LTS around July 2026.
Mint 22.2 is meant to come with Kernel 6.14, which according to some searches, requires version 6.14.6 for full Strix Halo support. It looks like you might still be on 22.1 or rejected the newer kernel during the upgrade. You can check the available kernels in Mint's Update Manager to see if you have at least 6.14.x installed.
