Radeon RX 9060 XT

I picked up a 9060 XT for a fresh install of Zorin and have been having a heck of a time getting it working. I believe the kernel that comes with Zorin 17.3 is too old for this card, so I upgrade the kernel to 6.15.4 but Zorin is still showing the graphics as llvmpipe (LLVM 15.0.7, 256 bits).

Does anyone have a suggestion to get this card working with Zorin?

Have you upgraded your mesa?

I don't know what that is, so I suppose I have more research to do. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

The support for the kisak mesa fresh ppa for Jammy has ended (this is the ubuntu version which Zorin is based). You will need the stable version of the mesa ppa.

Here is a thread about adding mesa drivers on a graphics card similar to yours:

To add the ppa to your system:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kisak/turtle
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

Here is another compatible MESA PPA that can be used. It's not mine but i found it after Kisak offered an alpha state as stable.
