Screen Tear in 19.04 on Ryzen 5 2400G

  • 772

My new PC with Ubuntu 19.04, and a AMD Ryzen 5 2400G CPU with Radeon Vega RX 11 graphics, shows screen tear on YouTube videos and in gaming, is this because of Linux ? I've looked around and more people seem to get this on Linux than windows.

I've tried finding the drivers for my APU and its only available on windows

drivers tearing 19.04 amd-ryzen
