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.

I've got a 7900xt and idle power draw and heat generation is off the charts, so I must agressively sleep my computer when not in use. I've been hoping for an update to fix it, but nothing yet. And this isn't really AMDs problem, but a lot of AI stuff just isn't possible on RDNA 3, because the python libraries don't support it. Some library updates have started supporting it, but often the tools to make the models work uses old library versions.
Sorry for late response, only notice you right now. For me, idle power draw is about 30w (60w if mem clock bagged out on high clock) on card. It's worse than it should be (without memclock bug it's about ~17w), but doable. If you have higher power draw, probably smth else broke.
I'd have to pull out my kill-a-watt to get an accurate reading, but my house grid increases by about .2-.3kw when my PC is on. That doesn't count all my monitors and whatnot. It is a noticable drain on my houses grid at idle.
