From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I recently switched from Windows to Manjaro because i tied it for some time on my laptop and really liked it.

But now I have major problems with blender 4.0 Cycles HIP rendering on my PC. I tried amdgpu-pro-oglp, hip-runtime-amd and hip-runtime-amd-blender but i get strange shading with progl blender and hip-runtime-amd-blender, with hip-runtime-amd blender crashes when selecting gpu rendering. I use a "radeon 5600 xt" GPU and everything worked fine on Windows, but i really don't want to go back to Windows

Everything works fine in blender 3.6 LTS I created a simple scene to show the problems on the left is simple principled bsdf, middle left is principled bsdf with full SSS the sphere is metallic and the cube on the right is glas:

Blender 3.6 (GPU HIP, works fine thats how it should look)

Blender 4.0 CPU rendering (works fine)

Blender 4.0 GPU (HIP, not working, sometimes crashing)

Pls help its pretty important for me that newer versions of blender work. If you need more information just ask.

Did you try the Flatpak version or packages of other distros (like Fedora) via Distrobox?

You probably installed it on your Manjaro install via pacman, did you?
Sometimes, the native packages are just missing some additional elements and then only kind of work.
