Help needed setting up AMD GPU (discuss.tchncs.de)

Recently bought a RX7600XT and experienced lagging in Krita and flickering in blender since. I installed the drivers from AMD's website, and ROCm.

I am unsure and totally overwhelmed as to what could cause these issues. ~~ChatGPT always wants me to edit /etc/default/grub, but I am not sure why and what the bootloader has got to do with it?~~

These are quite a lot of questions and few information. If you need anything I am more than happy to provide any information.

Sys Info

Linux Mint Cinnamon 22
Linux Kernel 6.8
CPU AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
GPU AMD Navi 33 Radeon 7600 XT
RAM 16GB @3600mHz | 36GB Swap

AMD drivers are baked into the kernel, so you shouldn’t have to install anything specific for your card. Steps I’d take:

uninstall whatever you didn’t install using your package manager
check that mesa and rocm are installed through your package manager

With Linux distros, you install almost everything through a package manager. Downloading an installer from some website does happen very occasionally, but 99% of the time it will be provided by your distro.
