Hi,
Running CachyOS KDE Plasma fully updated on a newish mini PC (Beelink SER8).
Something keeps happening with the iGPU which I don’t know how to fix:
For no reason at all, the AMD Radeon 780M iGPU switches to software mode?
The only thing I can do is to restore a system backup using Timeshift.
System info is below.
Please help, thanks!
