If it is of any interest... Two of us are using AMDGPU for Radeon RX 7700 (one computer) and RX 6600 (four computers). Two computers have XFCE the other have KDE (no Gnome).
The Radeon RX 7700 runs Arch Linux, the other Debian 12 (Bookworm), all kept up to date. A while ago we had a few lock ups which we put down to what we were doing, like having too many tabs open in Firefox while running 100% CPU utilisation while gaming. However now that we are reducing the number of open tabs, we have not experienced a lock up for some time. It maybe be a result of some of the pages that were connected. Issues seemed to happen when certain web sites were opened. Only happened so infrequently, it was hard to find a pattern. I am always concerned about running X11 programs under a Wayland GUI, particularly with screen sharing a X11 game or using OBS Studio, something which was also what we were doing. Since we are no longer experiencing lockups, I wonder if your system has become stable, and if you have tried limiting what concurrent software you are using, particularly mixing X11 and Wayland native programs that are interacting with each other. I can only imagine the hoops the software is going through, I am amazed it all works. George.
