Re: Linux Mint 20.1 “Ulyssa” Xfce – BETA Release
20.1 users of AMD hardware may experience a problem with 'staircase graphics' when trying to switch display resolution to another size. (I already had this problem with LM 19.3 and Xubuntu 20.4 .)
I had the same problem today with 20.1 while trying to switch from 1920x to 1680x. Same solution has worked for me (and others) each time: enter the following in terminal:
xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/vblank_mode -t string -s "glx" --create

Still haven't fixed the clownishly-large volume-icon in the notification area...
This issue appeared in 19.3 and any enquiry about it is met with deafening silence.
It's not a deal-breaker, but is an annoyance...

Because it is Ubuntu 20.10 that you see that there is support for, you should have no problem. Since Mint Linux 20 uses essentially the same repository, you should be fine. Today I am going to go pick up the AX916C wireless network adapter. I will be posting a reply here shortly. My internet connection is very slow. I upgraded the router to work with Mint Linux 20. Now I am upgrading the network adapter to have native AX support.

It does not. The entire Mint 20.x series will stick to Ubuntu 20.04.x as underlying codebase.

Thank for this. I had the problem when booting normally using a 1600x1200 screen. Now it is fixed.

Re: Linux Mint 20.1 “Ulyssa” Xfce – BETA Release
Sadly true. I tested LM20.1/xfce, and it still does not recognize new hw, and causes hard locks on my laptop (ryzen5x-based) once or twice per day. Sticking with u20.04 codebase was imho bad decision. Installed xubuntu20.10 instead, and it is running like charm...

Re: Linux Mint 20.1 “Ulyssa” Xfce – BETA Release
It's a reason for joy, not for sadness: the LTS codebase of Ubuntu 20.04 is being supported for a whopping five years and generally of the highest quality. The intermediate Ubuntu releases, like 20.10, are extremely short-lived (a pitiful 9 months) and are really mainly a testing ground for the next LTS release.

Wrong. That's what HWE kernels are for.

Re: Linux Mint 20.1 “Ulyssa” Xfce – BETA Release
Glad to hear it. The Xubuntu guys - way last April - claimed that AMD sent a wrong setting. A LOT of users (incl. Xubuntu) have had to struggle finding a solution.
While I'm here: sometimes my monitor sleeps and it wakes up in 1920x mode (rather than the 1680 I need).
I made a panel-launcher with the command 'xrandr --output HDMI-A-0 --mode 1680x1050' that I can click on the edge of. Anybody with this problem can use xrandr to fix it.
'Mingle' mentioned a 'clownishly-large volume-icon'... Yep, some size problems cropped-up with LM20. (I'm *not* blaming LM for it.) In my case, VLC was opening to the size of my browser window. Found the command
QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=0 vlc
and wrote my first startup bash-script to do *that* one.

Until it is fixed, see if changing the icon theme in settings does anything. That's how I got around it when it was annoying me.Still haven't fixed the clownishly-large volume-icon in the notification area...
It might not work for you, but it could be worth checking
