[10:33] <lotuspsychje> new 20.04 yaru theme just got in https://imgur.com/a/mzgcoWY
[22:28] <Miles8of9> if you install focal fossa and it doesn't crash, can you follow development by downloading updates using apt or it's better to reformat and reinstall each time?
[22:29] <Bashing-om> Miles8of9: Never had an issue with continued updates to final release.
[22:53] <Miles8of9> are you using focal fossa? how it's running? any problem?
[23:02] <Bashing-om> Miles8of9: I have ubuntu 20.04 in my test bed - no issues at all. My daily is 18.04.
[23:02] <Miles8of9> which kernel is 20.04 using at moment?
[23:03] <Bashing-om> !info linux-image-generic focal
[23:04] <Bashing-om> Miles8of9: See too: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Ubuntu-20.04-Linux-5.4-Likely
[23:05] <Miles8of9> ok thankyou
[23:05] <Bashing-om> Miles8of9: If you have certified hardware: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Ubuntu-20.04-Certified-OEM-Exp
[23:06] <Miles8of9> i need support for radeon rx 5600 xt.. probably i'll need to update kernel to 5.5... and various libs
[23:06] <Bashing-om> Miles8of9: ^^ 5.6 kernel :)
[23:06] <Miles8of9> maybe....
[23:07] <Bashing-om> Miles8of9: I saw that AMD has released updated dtivers for that card.
[23:07] <Bashing-om> drivers*
[23:09] <Miles8of9> no drivers for 5600 at moment.. https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/amd-radeon-5600-series/amd-radeon-rx-5600-series/amd-radeon-rx-5600-xt
[23:10] <oerheks> check out bios update? https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=RX-5600-XT-New-SMC-Micro
[23:13] <Bashing-om> Miles8of9: ^^ also : https://phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=RX-5600-XT-New-SMC-Micro >> " with that updated performance BIOS will now be working out correctly."
[23:15] <Miles8of9> can linux flash the bios of a video card...? i thought it was a windows-only feature
[23:18] <oerheks> i would check the vendor website
[23:19] <oerheks> there is fwupdate, not sure it covers your GPU too
[23:20] <Miles8of9> looks like a dangerous procedure... perhaps better install windows for a day and perform update from there
[23:27] <oerheks> sure, one does not need to register the copy, to perform updates.
