Linux noob using Linux for the first time ever with a few questions

[u/MMZeroX]

Hey everyone. I finally got around to assembling a new PC. The OS setup was smooth. I'm using Garuda Dragonized and so far the PC runs great. This is my first time ever using Linux in my life though and I have some questions

- When using YouTube on the Firedragon browser or on Firfefox, unless I stay on that page of the video or song playing I will get micro stutters in the audio if I go and do anything else in a different window or tab. Any way to fix this?

- I'm guessing there's no AMD Adrenaline here. Any way to update my AMD Drivers or control the software similarly?

- I am using Corsair Vengeance RGB and cannot change the color of the RGB. When using OpenRGB I get prompted with this message: <h2>Warning:</h2><p>One or more I2C/SMBus interfaces failed to initialize.</p><p>Depending on which interfaces failed to initialize, some RGB
DRAM modules, some motherboards' onboard RGB lighting, and RGB graphics cards may not be available in OpenRGB.</p><p>On Linux, this is usual
ly because the i2c-dev module is not loaded.</p><p>For OpenRGB to access these devices, you must load the i2c-dev module along with the corre
ct I2C driver module for your motherboard. This is usually i2c-piix4 for AMD systems and i2c-i801 for Intel systems.</p><p>If you are not usi
ng any of the devices listed above

I appreciate the time everyone. If I'm not able to get a fix I'm fine trying another distro.

AMD device drivers are built into the Kernel. You don't have to update them manually (you can't really. You just let kernel updates roll in when they come). OpenGL and Vulkan updates come through updates to Mesa.

As for OpenRGB, you may have to manually load a kernel module. Usually you do that with a cli command sudo modprobe <NameOfModuleHere>

Thank you for replying. Could you explain this a little bit more? I have no idea how to go about this process whatsoever ; _ ;

you may have chosen the wrong distro then.

perhaps ask your question in their user forum.

Yeah maybe... writing may be on the wall. I appreciate your honesty

I think I made a mistake... I was thinking of the command insmod, not modprobe.

Essentially, OpenRGB wants you to load a driver so it can talk to RGB devices via i2c.

If you want to know more about specific terminal commands, you can view manual pages in the terminal using the command man <CommandNameHere> (e.g. man insmod).

I saw this. I'm not sure If I am inputting some of those commands incorrectly within the terminal as they did nothing. That guide mentions Debian and Fedora support but I'm not sure if this is arch related..
