Hello everyone, after being fed up with windows and all the hell it's put me through I switched to debian 12, it was the most stable linux distro I could find, I tried Ubuntu, Linux Mint they all crashed on my Asus X512DA after like 2 hours of use.
However the question I have is that on windows I usually have to check for updates and install the latest AMD Radeon adrenaline edition in order to get the best use out of the graphics card and tweak some display settings etc.
Now do I have to do the same on linux in order to get the best performance out of my graphic card? Cuz I'm planning to install steam and probably try proton as well.
Go to https://www.amd.com/en/support/download/linux-drivers.html, select Ubuntu x86 64-bit and select your Ubuntu version. Then you can install it with the command sudo dpkg -i driver.deb
Hope this helps! :)
first you need to check if your graphics card is correctly detected and if the drivers are running normally on your system. To do this you can use these commands:
lspci -v | grep -i vga
This will display the device that has been identified as a graphics card by the system
lspci -k | grep -A 3 -i vga
This will display the graphics card and the loaded drivers for it.
Now in case the commands show you that your graphics card is not working you can visit the official AMD website
https://www.amd.com/en/support/download/drivers.html
search for your hardware, download and install the Debian package using the following command
sudo dpkg -i amdgpu-driver.deb
if the drivers still do not work, you always try to change the Kernel version by following this guide:

I hope this helps your issue.
