I'm getting a latest gen AMD video card, apparently I have to update the kernel for it, how do I do that?

You would be better off just upgrading the distro, honestly.

If not, install the mainline kernel versions of your choice. ubuntushell.com/install-mainline-kernel-on-ubuntu…

I was waiting for PoP 24 to leave beta for that so I think I’ll just update the kernel for now. thanks!

Keep in mind, there are some caveats. Mainly that headers aren’t released with the Mainline packages.

That will likely ironically downgrade the kernel… Pop provides an up to date kernel for all current GPUs. op just needs to look at what version they should already have

Any update that includes the kernel should hook the module automatically.

The kernel stub stuff is here: https://support.system76.com/articles/kernelstub/

Kernelstub Usage

Add or change kernel and boot parameters using kernelstub

What version is your kernel? I thought Pop!_OS provided newest versions of it.

either I allucinated, misread something, or I got a kernel update in the past two or three days, as I just checked and I’m on 6.16.3, while I think last time I checked I wasn’t. anyway, 6.16 is up-to-date enough for RX9000 cards according to the few forum posts I read. thanks for asking that!
