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.

Can confirm. I am running Niri on Arch and I've been seeing these artifacts regularly the past few days. I've seen them before with broken amdgpu versions so I wasn't too worried about them.
For me playing video in Firefox and especially the Steam client seem to cause flickering horizontal stripes of artifacts that look similar to dead VRAM.
No issues while gaming though.
Btw
~~Arch~~
~~7.1.6~~
~~"the past few days"~~
Those 3 don't go together...
Edit: Oh, wow... Scrap that.
I completely missed that the main kernel is still stuck on 7.1.6 as even the RealTime one usually lagging behind is on 7.1.8 already.
That being said I have seen comments about fixes to AMD GPUs in 7.1.8. So how about testing it with that kernel to see it is solved there?
