Usually I'm not hopefull for newly released cards but this arch has already been out for almost a year so it should be a bit less dire, right?

[edit] So the results are in and the verdict is: still kind of unreliable with some people having a good time and some having a bad time. Awesome. I'll just wait a bit. Thanks for the comments everyone ๐Ÿ‘

On my Radeon 680M, I am getting constant freezes whenever I use video acceleration in KDE Wayland and I am not the only one. This bug has existed for almost a year and it's been driving me insane. I really don't see the awesome AMD driver situation everyone talks about.

Omg I thought I was the only one with this issue, constant playback freezes, sometimes if I watch too much video accelerated content whole system crashes, and after a while with or without accelerated content I get weird artefacts all over the screen. (680M)

Yeah I also get the playback freezes. It does work better in X11, but then it almost begs the question why I even got an AMD device in the first place.

@Molecular0079 @independantiste
I have a 5700 and a 6750 the 5700 used to hang win the 4 series kernels, in the beginning of 5 kernels the crashes went away, but temps remain as a problem, since 5.6 it have been rock solid and my 6750 just works no problems.

Maybe it's a problem with RDNA2 iGPUs then, because I am on 6.5 and I still get freezes and crashes and artifacts
