  • I have a 6700XT and was using Debian Testing (it was trixie), it was super stable, then it became to be extremely unstable around april 2025. I think it was a mix a buggy mesa update and a buggy kernel update. It was so awful that I had to remove Debian :( (multiple full freeze a day). I went full Gentoo and it was super stable. I tried trixie again some days ago and it was still extremely unstable, unfortunately… (only on this machine, the others work fine). Mesa 25.3 has fixed a “turn page flip error” on these cards, but not everything is smooth.








  • I think you’ve tried a distribution for advanced users… Something like Debian would not have triggered that! Also note that regarding dual boot, most of the time, Microsoft can be in cause (if you’re not using UEFI, if you have secure boot, and others).






  • You have to use two swaps if you already use one swap, because one will be used when the system is on, but the second will be used to set the RAM content + the 1st content into SWAP (if any), otherwise, it would fail.

    Then, find the hibernation swap uuid:

    sudo swapon --show
    lsblk -o name,uuid
    

    Then

    # /etc/default/grub
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="resume=UUID=xxxx"
    
    #/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume
    resume=UUID=xxxx
    
    # bash
    sudo update-grub
    sudo update-initramfs -k all -u
    
    # to hibernate on lid switch
    # /etc/systemd/logind.conf
    HandleLidSwitch=hibernate
    

    Then reboot :)

    Note: this method works wonderfully, I use it personally. Just be aware that the hibernation swap content is not encrypted, so you’re vulnerable if your laptop is stolen while hibernated.







  • Yes, but honestly, I find that games enforcing incompatible AC are often poorly developed games. The latest that disappointed me was EA WRC. It was quite good, but the gameplay was less interesting that Dirt Rally 2, for exemple, and since they enforced AC, they also started to deploy DLC, and destroy the game. The lesson was to never ever buy something from Electronic Arts (the last time was more than 10 years ago for me). And kernel level anti-cheat is NO GO on my computer. It doesn’t matter if the game is awesome or not, I disagree with the fact that a game company has root access on my computer just for entertainement.
