The odd Linux video corruption/freeze issue persists. Last night, did a test recording of late night TV for an hour and Ubuntu didn't crash. The file it recorded also appears to have no audio sync problems, but I can know for sure once I start looking through it more. But this afternoon, I started another record session and Ubuntu again got screen corruption and froze.
Later, I went to AMD's website for updated drivers, and they had a build for 18.04 along with an install script. Downloaded the package, ran the script, and rebooted. I can't tell the difference yet, but I have been doing test recording all afternoon for around two hours and no crash yet. I can't be too certain though. Ubuntu could run without issues for hours and then suddenly crash. You just never know with Linux.
