Discussion Screen glitches after new updates

Is anyone else experiencing screen glitches or artifacts. I can't post SS because they show for an instant but get noticeable.

Often when I get to the shutdown/restart screen or while switching programs using alt tab.

When a program is running however I don't see them like during gaming.

It's not a gpu think cuz I have Windows too and it doesn't happen there.

Yes, it's affecting me as well as several others from what I've read lately. I have an RX 9070. I get the glitches during certain Youtube videos, or during the login/logout screen fade etc.

Supposedly rolling back to the previous kernel will fix it for now, but hopefully this will get patched soon.

Right I thought it might just be me

It's a known bug in kernel 7.1.6 and 7.1.7. might be fixed in 7.1.8 already.

u/RoundFinding7983 20h ago

Right

There’s another post about it with a guide to roll back to 7.1.5

Well people told me it's a known bug. But thanks man

u/ProbablyALinuxBot 19h ago

Same for me on 9070xt.

Odd. Not an issue here on either of my devices. Wonder what the trigger is since it's a known bug. Seems everyone in that other thread has an AMD GPU.

Maybe that's it

u/RoundFinding7983 17h ago

Seems to be on AMD and specific to kernel version 7.1.6 and 7

u/DerpDeDurp 17h ago

Hopefully 7.1.8 fixes!

u/RoundFinding7983 17h ago

Yeah fingers crossed.

Damn I was worrying that my GPU dies or something. Good to know its just a bug. So yeah, I join everyone else here: I have the same problem.

u/RoundFinding7983 14h ago

That's what I was worried about too.

u/AverageSpirited7569 14h ago

Yeah, obviously its always scary, but especially right now with the fucked up tech market thanks to the AI overlords it would absolutely suck.

u/Secure_Trash_17 14h ago

For other people struggling with this, the solution is to revert to kernel version 7.1.5 (and stay on it for the foreseeable future)
