What's the patch to? I have a 6650XT as well but don't know what to update e.g., Proton, kernel etc?

First link in the article leads to the post with tldr up front. It's kernel patches and some scaffolding, should land in mainline linux soonish but for now it's bit manual for most distros.

Thanks, that's great to hear it will be in the kernel!
