I have this exact problem.
Edit: nvm, found the solution
You’re just the worst, you know that?
Found the answer to this here

The moment I find something even remotely useful for a problem I faced and solved, I am saving it on the Internet Archive.
And I try to not be DenverCoder9Source
Thank you for your service o7
I rely on Internet archive a hell of a lot
Trying my best.
If you want to help save anything, maybe participate with the rest of us: http://warrior.archiveteam.org/
If you have a spare PC/docker container you only require an internet connection and electricity. And it may save some picture or reddit post/guide/advice for the folks in the future. :)

You forgot the snark!
Closed as duplicate. Learn how searching works you stupid, foolish clodpoll.
They had the answer on Yahoo! Answers. 😢
But have you tried askjeeves?
for me when that happens, it usually turns out to be a simple but stupid mistake on my end
The worst is windows always giving “unknown error” with a code, and when you google the code you try stuff for like an hour just for every website you check to be useless, and at the end you just needed to put a password on the other computers file share, but why would it tell you that?
I find it more frustrating when someone has already had the issue and received an answer, but unfortunately the solution is a link to a Microsoft forum that no longer exists.
Hah… I used to search up an issue and see my own unanswered question on reddit as the first post. ಠ_ಠ
My favorite is when you Google a problem and many, many people have the same problem but the company has never provided a solution.
More like when you Google and half the solutions you find contradict themselves, with some of the responses to the solutions discussing the dangers.
So so so much worse when the comment is deleted and OP replies “thanks!”
OP: “Nevermind, I figured it out on my own. Thanks anyway.” and doesn’t share what they did drives me up the wall.
Remember kids: If you find a solution to a problem nobody on Google (or your search engine of choice) seems to has, put it as a blog post on your site!
Or you can ask on SO. Then close it with “nvm, fixed”.
This is the way
Or you can explain it to a SO until you realise what’s wrong yourself
A pet or rubber duck will do if you don’t have a SO handy
Or you can explain it to a SO
Yeah that’s usually the expression they end up with by the end
Hate it when I search an issue and the only other person with the same problem is me 5 years ago and I didn’t figure it out then either.
aww you beat me to it.
Is it the denvercoder one?
checks
That’s it.

The other issue was closed as off topic.
They were both closed as duplicate
The answer was to disable FreeSync. FreeSync was causing the stuttering with SAM turned on.
I think it’s worse when they say they found a solution and include a link which is now dead.
With Google dropping its archive I feel like dead links are going to be more and more common.
Even worse in my opinion is when you find someone who had the same problem as you and the only person who replies says “use google.” It’s like that’s how I got to this page!
The worst is when they say they’ve found a solution, without adding any information or elaborating further. Makes me want to flip my desk.
I hate the ones that are just “open a case” and then they close the thread without saying what the fix ended up being, looking at you Veeam forums.
So many of my searches lead to Microsoft forums where my exact issue is posted, MS asks for more information, then some auto-mod closes the issue because there wasn’t any further follow up and they can’t replicate it.
And it always marks the damn “thank you for contacting Microsoft” post as “the answer”
Every. Damn. Time.
Or the only person who phrases your issue this way) so many times I’ve found out that I just state my problem in an unusual way
That’s one area where LLMs can come in handy. If you describe something, they can usually come out with what you were thinking about in another, maybe more correct way, then you search what they gave you
This is currently happening to me and I hate it.
Something between linux kernel 6.2 (working) and 6.7 (broken) and all I have at best is a generic warning message that yields just a few results and all are unrelated.
Same, started having issue with a docking station on my laptop with 6.7. It’s so niche to my configuration that finding an answer has proven impossible. Now I need to reboot every time I plug in my dock or else I have no external monitors.
THAT is very shitty. My problem is that after using it for a bit apps start freezing for a split second all the time. Most notable is firefox. The frequency and duration of them increase steadily. Then opening a new program might freeze the system fully (or wait minutes/hours until it unfreezes). It has something to do with memory allocation “according to” dmesg.
You just need to spend a few hours trying weirder and unique ways to frame the issue and you might find the answer.
