Old AMD junk.

cat: /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/mds: No such file or directory

I've never had any problems with AMD / ATI hardware or Intel hardware running Linux the open source drivers work well.AMD stuff seems to run very nicely with the open source Linux graphics driver, Intel and NVIDIA seems to give more trouble.
Back in 2014 Linux users were able to get proprietary Nvidia graphics drivers from "Additional Drivers" section of Linux and that doesn't seem to be available with the new Linux distros.
Start a new thread so that we stay within the forum rules and guidelines.I have a bit of a problem now, would you care to look at that in Power save in Budgie in the Desktop section, please?
Not sure why Tom deleted his previous Post but as I recall his
uname -r
resulted in 4.4.0-148, a match.
It was not just /vulnerabilities which was generated with the kernel upgrade, there were 2 other folders, /intel_pstate and /smt, and you'll note that SMT was referenced in the file on MDS Tom provided earlier.

Yep me to.And some days.... I am very happy to be running old junk here.
Old AMD junk.
I discovered the difference / found my answer
I'm thinking about taking all of my Intel products out to the farm and blasting them full of holes with my 357 magnum.
Yesthe same as what you show in post # 14 .Did that shed any light, was it similar to/different from what I mentioned above?
I will save you a box of bullets.Can you save a bullet or two for me? No, for my Intel, not me
