You’re right about amdgpu, my mistake. On arch systems individual Mesa components need to be installed though, like the specific Vulkan modules to be used (amdvlk or RADV).

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AMDGPU

amdgpu is distinctly separate from Mesa. Some distos have additional Mesa packages that also need to be instealled, now that you mention it.

Microcode and iGPU drivers.

Resilient filesystems/raid/multiple backup points should be more than enough.

A word of caution on relying on backups without the other types of error prevention you mention: If it takes you a while to notice that bitrot has ruined a file, then it may have already propagated through your backups. The only type of backups that would account for this is archival backups, such as on tape or quality bluray discs.

Thank you for helping make the fediverse a better place.

Switch to the LTS kernel until 6.5.1

What happened June 21st? It’s the first exponential growth and it’s also when I made my account, but I don’t remember what was the trigger to finally make an account.
