    Hey #Linux users, I'm running into an annoying issue where my system randomly just soft-locks, but only on Gentoo. It didn't do it on Debian-based systems or Arch-based systems for me. (What little I used of Fedora also didn't do it, but I'm not sure if I used in long enough.) It's a bad lock, but it's a soft-lock, so if I hold ctrl+alt+F3 or whatever for about two or three minutes, eventually I get to a console and can reset. The GUI never returns. The specific error seems to be "flip_done timed out" from amdgpu.

    My searches so far have yielded claims that disabling variable framerate and adding KWIN_DRM_NO_AMS=1
    and KWIN_DRM_NO_DIRECT_SCANOUT=1 stops the freezes and so far it seems to have done so, but I really want variable framerate back...

    Again, only in Gentoo...

    A screenshot of a dmesg dump from when the error happened.  (It's a lot of text, a lot of which is irrelevant or a core dump, so if you really want it you should ask separately because a speech reader would go nuts with this.)
