Can confirm. I am running Niri on Arch and I’ve been seeing these artifacts regularly the past few days. I’ve seen them before with broken amdgpu versions so I wasn’t too worried about them.
For me playing video in Firefox and especially the Steam client seem to cause flickering horizontal stripes of artifacts that look similar to dead VRAM.
No issues while gaming though.
Btw
Arch7.1.6“the past few days”Those 3 don’t go together…
Edit: Oh, wow… Scrap that.
I completely missed that the main kernel is still stuck on 7.1.6 as even the RealTime one usually lagging behind is on 7.1.8 already.
That being said I have seen comments about fixes to AMD GPUs in 7.1.8. So how about testing it with that kernel?
