I knew that would happen.
FWIW, there are many arch-based distros with a lot of handholding. Heck, garuda has built in btrfs snapshots on update. I believe OP would have an easier time using garuda than setting up all the other things necessary to make other plain rolling release distributions work.
To OP, raw arch is definitely not for newbies. Don’t try to install arch to fix your issue.
Hey friend, looks like you might be spinning your wheels yet.
You have two options to get driver support for the 9070:
Here’s a mint thread talking about it, pop os will be the same.
That said, I can’t in good conscience recommend the manual route for a Linux newbie, so strongly consider a fedora or arch based distro.
If gaming is your primary use case, the ones with tons of gaming apps and tweaks built in are Bazzite (based on fedora atomic), nobara (based on fedora), and garuda “Dr460nized” gaming (Based on Arch)
This is the right answer. You need a fresher kernel. 6.12 or 6.13.
If gaming is your core use case, check out bazzite, nobara, or garuda to get many of the goodies baked in.
Looks like it is provided here.
Scrubbing a little demo project I made featuring a web app behind oauth2-proxy leveraging keycloak as local idp with social login. It also uses a devcontainer config for development. The demo app uses the Litestar framework (fka starlite, in Python) because I was interested, but it’s hardly the focus. Still gotta put caddy in front of it all for easy SSL. Oh, and clean up all the default secrets I’ve strewn about with appropriate secret management.
All of it is via rootless podman and declarative configuration.
Think I might have to create my own Litestar RBAC plugin that leverages the oauth headers provided by the proxy.
It has been a minute since I worked daily in this space, so it has been good to dust off the cobwebs.
The other commenter is giving good advice, but I think they’re knee-jerking a bit hard on the arch base. I presented 3 gaming oriented distributions. All have guardrails. All are opinionated. All are fully featured, user-friendly experiences.
Yes, arch (by itself) is a bad idea as a solution, but so is gentoo, and so is Debian testing.
I believe the issues they’re so concerned about actually apply to every rolling release distro like the others, but it’s the only way you’re going to get OOTB support for the 9700xt until the major release distributions catch up.
Linux users have strong feelings and often let perfect at any expense get in the way of good enough and cheap. This is a demonstrably negative experience for new users.
