Briefly describe your issue below:
My environment will randomly crash after logging in when using MATE and occasionally randomly crash when using i3. There is general screen flickering that isn’t too noticeable (on i3) but is there but this usually is right before a crash.
On MATE it will sometimes crash and I have to hard kill my PC to get back in and other times it will crash and then reload back to the log in screen and have no issues for the rest of the time I’m logged in. The screen flickering problem was worse but then I installed compton and got that setup and now I’m just worried about the crashes because I don’t need that while I’m working on something and then there goes all my data.
i3 will randomly crash and the screen randomly goes crazy on various applications like libreoffice, taking a screenshot/saving the screenshot, and nautilus (file manager).
I would like to use MATE if someone could help get this resolved
I’m currently running the generic drivers
I have tried to download the released drivers from AMD: https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/amd-radeon-r9-series/amd-radeon-r9-300-series/amd-radeon-r9-390
But I got an error message will will be posted in the errors section.
