► Is there a way to recover the system from this, e.g. reboot the graphics somehow with a shortkey so the computer can be used again? Right now, I have to press the physical reboot button and sometimes lose my game progress.
► Any ideas how to troubleshoot / fix this? I don't even know where to begin, would be happy about any pointers!
This is pretty much a fresh Ubuntu, I followed the Lutris Docs for Wine, Drivers and Battle.net. This glitch already happened in both Lutris and Steam though.
My System Info
Linux Distribution: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Desktop Environment: GNOME 3.36.8
Graphics Card: Sapphire Radeon RX 590 Nitro+ SE OC AMD 8GB
GPU Driver Version: OpenGL 4.6 (Core Profile) Mesa 21.0.2 - kisak-mesa PPA (?)
Have you checked for system updates?: There seem to be newer mesa versions (21.1.1) but when I do `apt-get upgrade`, they are listed under `The following packages have been kept back:` so they don't install right now.

Can you get to console with Ctrl+Alt+F2? If yes, then you can basically try everything from killing Wine to restarting xorg.

As for mesa, try:
apt-get dist upgrade
I hope that helps a bit.

I did no overclocking, I was wondering if the "OC" in the name means it's overclocked by factory, I find no info on that.
Def' will test the fullscreen terminal if it happens again, didn't know that, thanks. My plan is to kill the game and/or restart xorg.
ps ux | grep Valheim //find the process id
kill -1 [pid] //graceful shutdown
kill -9 [pid] //kill it with fire
sudo systemctl restart display-manager
Sometimes I can recover the system with the commands above, but sometimes the CTRL+ALT+F3 console just gets flodded with errors (Ctrl+Alt+F2 doesn't work on my Ubuntu). https://streamable.com/og7lsc
I found out about `/var/log/kern.log` and this is the full log.

With these new error messages I find tons of threads online but there seems no real solution but trying the latest kernel (reading that on threads that go back years so it doesn't seem to me like a stable solution) or tinker with kernel options. I don't know, maybe dual boot for gaming is the easiest way.

maybe you can try corectl to lower the clocks or something? if you said your card is factory OC. Might help, might not.
Probably have to wait the day they implement GPU recovering
Might be worth trying a more recent kernel to check if this particular bug was already fixed in the amdgpu kernel driver. I'd recommend Xanmod kernels. They're a breeze to install (and remove) and won't mess up your system in any way. Just follow the link for instructions on how to add the repo and install the kernel.
Another option is Ubuntu's own mainline kernel repo, but as you say you use Proton and Lutris, you might appreciate that Xanmod includes things like the fsync and fsync2 patchsets.
I sent that card for RMA when I bought the new one, and the replacement seems to run just fine in my wife's workstation, but she doesn't really play anything heavier than Stardew Valley so who knows.
