Greetings! Now I will describe my problem, which arose on my desktop with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. But first I need to make an introduction, namely, I have a desktop with Tumbleweed and Windows 11, an Intel i3-9100F processor, an AMD Radeon R7 240 video card, then there is an HP laptop with an AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with Radeon Graphics and also with Tumbleweed. Well, until the Mesa 25.0.0 update apparently came, everything worked fine on both machines, and after the update around February 21 on the desktop in idle mode (at least) the CPU load is abnormally high, somewhere around 75% in a session with X11, and if I log into the system with Wayland, then in this case the CPU load is 100%! For obvious reasons I haven’t updated my laptop for a while until Mesa 25.0.1 was released, and after I installed the update with Mesa 25.0.1 and today’s major Tumbleweed update, the laptop is working fine, unlike the desktop with all the updates that were installed today! The situation is strange, Windows 11 works fine on the desktop, but Linux is very bad… What’s going on, is there a conflict between the AMD Radeon R7 240 and the new Mesa drivers again? The funniest thing about this situation is that everything works fine on Windows! Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!..
Need more info.

Again - yo’re using modesetting driver.
Try to use radeon or amdgpu one.
Thanks, but what exactly do I need to do with the system?..
You can install driver.
Well, I solved the problem! Now I’ll describe what I did.
I did this first:
sudo zypper install xf86-video-amdgpu
Then I went into Yast, then into the bootloader, then into the kernel parameters I added this:
radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1
And now all works fine!
Thanks!
You can also install Vulkan and VAAPI (VA API) drivers.
Thanks for the advice, but so far everything works fine.
