I just grabbed a 9060XT open box deal without thinking about driver support, I’m using Mint 22.1 as well. YMMV but I can’t get any kernel besides 6.8 to boot, not even the Mint supported 6.11 HWE. Video output works but the drivers don’t load and even scrolling down a webpage gives me screen tearing. I did get a more recent Mesa version with the kisak ppa but it hasn’t helped. Can’t even go above 60Hz refresh rate.
I tried Ubuntu 25.04 on a LiveUSB and it’s basically plug and play and might have even automatically switched to the 144Hz monitor refresh rate.
I don’t have a whole lot of time for getting a new distro set up right now. I will wait until Mint 22.2 (coming soon? with a newer kernel hopefully) and see how that goes.
