The first regression is with amdgpu unable to play video with mesa-drivers-freeworld package

$ mpv demo.mp4
Cannot find target for triple amdgcn-- Unable to find target for this triple (no targets are registered)

A great mini-review at Talos space https://www.talospace.com/2023/05/fedora-38-mini-review-on-blackbird-and.html

I can confirm graphical smearing does occur on my GNOME + Wayland + AMDGPU

What card is in your system, again? I have the Raptor-provided WX7100.

Mine is Radeon RX 6600
