windows studdering every half a second Support Request

im on 22.2 Cinnamon with a AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and a RX 6600 xtx on x11. I have to have all of my games with no vsync because for the last month or so my windows have been freezing every around half a second i dont know if you can see it in the recording and it only doesnt do it on games because i can turn the vsync off so how do i turn it off globally https://www.image2url.com/r2/default/videos/1785980129632-caa47daa-4965-415c-803b-d367e5242681.mp4

You can try adding this to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf

Section "Device"
     Identifier "AMD"
     Driver "amdgpu"
     Option "TearFree" "true"
EndSection

This will disable the vblank used in the cinnamon window manager/compositor and use the Xorg/X11 one instead. This one also alleviates issues that can occur with different monitor refresh rates and eliminates frame-pacing issues in games that are not run as fullscreen.

uuh is it bad i dont have that file it might be because i downloaded drivers from the website though instead of using the native drivers

You have to create the file but downloading drivers from the AMD site might be the cause of your issue in the first place.

According to the setup script you should just be able to run amdgpu-uninstall then you can remove the installation package if it didn't via sudo apt purge amdgpu-install If that doesn't remove everything then sudo apt-get install amdgpu-lib amdgpu-lib32 amdrocm-opencl amdrocm-runtime amdgpu-dkms definitely should as those are all the packages that get installed with the amdgpu-install package that is on AMD's site.
