moriel5 added a comment to T7127: Firefox: graphical glitches while scrolling.

@josephscade that won't help, Firefox would first have to be compiled with the appropriate flags for hardware acceleration to start working, and even then, it may claim that it is enabled when it is not (as I see for most of the related featureset on my end, running vanilla Firefox Nightly), and many users have been claiming instability with it enable (I did too, however it seems to have resolved itself since last week, with no change to what is actually enabled), regardless of the hardware.
I personally use Intel and AMD (just preGCN for now, though), I still need my NVidia card (GT8200, I put my GT9400 in my grandmother's PC, since the iGPU there was not powerful enough for things like 720p on YouTube).

The newer GTX cards (I think starting from 8xx or 9xx series, I forget precisely which, as I do not have such hardware on me) don't allow reclocking without a signed firmware image, so you cannot truly test for hardware issues without the closed source drivers.

You can try installing Windows 10 (no need for a license, since it would only be for a few hours), and check if the issues persist after installing NVidia's drivers.
If they do, I'd recommend filing a warranty claim, but if not, then we can continue diagnosing this issue.

Do you have a 7265? As I do not (Edit: I too have mistaken one of the posters for the OP).
By the way, @OddTod, after a bit of research, I had found someone posting similar post on the Intel forums.
That person's 7265 came with his laptop, made by Huawei (the model was not posted), and the Intel representative said that their 7265 may have had a customized OEM firmware, perhaps this is a similar situation?
I can say that I had pulled my QCA9377 from a Dell Vostro 3568, so that may have been the reason why it cannot find any networks on kernel 4.9.x-LTS.
Edit: It turns out that the QCA9377 I have is a newer revision than what is officially supported (hw1.1, as opposed to the supported hw1.0).

If my 9260 is dying or defective, than so are all my other 9260s, my AC 3165s, my AC 7260, and my Qualcomm 9377 (have not tested my Realtek card yet), so I do not believe that do be the case.
I can confirm that my slowdown issues are occurring across all PCs in the house, Windows and Linux alike (I have only tested the Qualcomm on my laptop), specifically with updated drivers (I am stuck at how to load a newer firmware on Solus, so I cannot count that).
And to be precise, the slowdowns are on the local network, under load, and only if the load goes on for long enough (say, about 3 hours straight, usually while downloading an obscenely large file, just for stability testing).

I am hoping to get it a proper heatsink, to allow it to work properly with more power draw, and perhaps to mod the hardware a little (a bit farther in the future) to allow it to draw more power in the first place (that is, if the VRM can handle it in the first place), and build it a new firmware (again, in the future), but in the time being, I can help test out pre-GCN hardware again.

It's not impossible, it just requires the AMD KFD bits that only just made it in for kernel 4.17 or compiled as an out of tree driver.

Rest-assured, once 4.17 is marked for the .0 release, I will be working on the KFD and related ROCm bits for OpenCL support.

Thanks, sorry about my own delay.
Hopefully I'll be able to help out by testing them out, though I should note that this is not my own laptop, but rather my sister's now (No sense installing Windows on a 16GB partition, especially when there is no need for a anything proprietary (VLC and Firefox are pretty much the bulk of what is needed here).

Could these patches, which are headed towards Kernel 4.15, help out?

Sorry about that, I wasn't thinking straight, you're right about that.

I guess that was the cause (although I had made this task right after updating my system, that was why I did not find any updates back then (I had guessed that Entangle was updated before it's required libraries)).

Sorry for the delay, I had to rush to work.
Apparently today's updates (I did not have time to check what was updated, so I do not know whether this is true) may have fixed this issue.

Nay, I do not mix packages between the stable and unstable Solus repos.
I do add software manually when it is unavailable on Solus, however I almost never touch Entangle, due it only being there to help me check whether I can connect old video cameras.

Alright, then.
I have tested it out, and yes, the Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000 shows up in Cheese, and even Skype.
However, the output is so fuzzy (even more so than it was on Ubuntu), that the webcam is not usable.

As I had posted on https://dev.solus-project.com/T2842, all seems well with the RTL8211AENF on the latest kernel, I have an Intel Wireless-AC 3165 now (although I am keeping the RTL8211AENF for testing).

I can happily say, that under the latest 4.13.10 and 4.13.11 kernels, the RTL8122AENF is perfectly stable on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, with proper reception (~83-89% on 2.4Ghz and ~71-81% on 5Ghz, from my room (in context, the router is one floor above me, slightly to the side, and our house has thicker than usual concrete walls), and full internet speeds (I'll post the exact results when I'll have the time).

This works for me (both on lightdm-gtk-greeter and on slick-greeter).

Sorry about the extremely late post, however since kernel 13.1, I have been having so many issues of issues with my RTL8821AE, that it had been rendered almost useless (I had to use my phone as a USB wireless adapter), and ever since kernel 13, I am unable to compile lwfinger's drivers for it (I'll be posting this on his GitHub page when I have the time).
Ironically, my WiFi connection was stable, if extremely weak, on kernel 13 itself, though (it seems that kernel 13.7 may have brought kernel 13's relative stability, with the same weak reception, though).

My father had accidentally bought an Acer Chromebook R11 (CB3-131), so I put Solus on it for him, and while overall beating GalliumOS in every driver related way, the internal speaker is simply not registered (it did not work on GalliumOS either, howewever it worked fine on ChromeOS).
