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 was kinda hoping I'd see something obvious but I am not a great troubleshooter, more of try things to see what works...
You can still use the Phoronix thing for testing the GPU:
.debfrom https://phoronix-test-suite.com/releases/repo/pts.debian/files/phoronix-test-suite_10.8.4_all.deb and installphoronix-test-suite install unigine-heavenphoronix-test-suite run unigine-heavenBut perhaps something else is interfering.
What does
sudo apt list --installed | grep -i radeonshow?Unigine-heaven was available by itself and it worked but I've never benchmark tested anything before. The settings I used was low graphics, full screened to the custom resolution of 1360x768 (the resolution of the monitor I use) and everything else was disabled. The frame rate ranged from 12 to 26 (or at least somewhere around that), does that seem good for an AMD Radeon R2 Graphics?
Also that command returns this: `WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.
libdrm-radeon1/jammy-updates,now 2.4.113-2~ubuntu0.22.04.1 amd64 [installed] xserver-xorg-video-radeon/jammy-updates,now 1:19.1.0-2ubuntu1 amd64 [installed] `
🤷♂️ all I can say is the drivers are installed.
Perhaps there is a Xorg option that needs to be modified or set a kernel parameter. Sorry I can't help anymore.
Even though it is Mint, the advice on the ArchWiki might help you out.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU#Loading says that it should use the
amdgpudriver so that is something to look into.Good luck!
