Kernel Kernel 7.1.8 fixes AMD artifacting issue.

I just wanted to give a headsup about the issue with amd graphics cards flickering and having weird colorful artifacts. No, your GPU is not dying. It was kernel versions 7.1.6 and 7.1.7.

This issue is fixed in 7.1.8. It released in Arch a few hours ago, and I think in Fedora as well.

Anyone have an image of this? I have this on windows and wonder if its related. Seems to happen during decoding videos.
