  • Radeon Software For Linux Dropping AMD's Proprietary OpenGL/Vulkan Drivers

    Jump

  • As far as I'm aware, the RadeonSI driver was built internally, whilst RADV was an external effort.

    The focus was on AMDVLK as it's similar in design to the XGL windows vulkan driver

  • It's a shame that consumer oriented TR ended with the 3000 series. Platform owners must have felt massively short changed by that (my friends and associates with 2 and 3000 series TRX rigs certainly did)

  • well, at least they provided some rationale for switching browsers. still, it's good thing we have bazzite.

  • Smartphone Hardening. Privacy advice?

    Jump

  • I feel that, I just wanted to set your expectations. I prefer and will continue to use CalyxOS but I have no expectation that they will deliver the same level of protections/mitigations at the OS side as Graphene given their project scope is different.

    CalyxOS aims for a private, yet simple (attainable) Android experience, and I align more closely with their ideology on having a FOSS replacement for Google Play Services in MicroG.

    I suppose one thing you could levarage is work profiles on Calyx to "jail" apps you do not trust, though I'm not sure that meaningfully builds upon Android 15s own application sandboxing.

    Perhaps as a long term goal you could look into making a custom fork of CalyxOS for your device and incorporating parts of Graphene's hardening but this will be a lot of work.

  • Smartphone Hardening. Privacy advice?

    Jump

  • As a calyxOS user, if your key concerns are security and device hardening, I'd recommend you just make a seedvault backup and switch to graphene.

    The two projects have somewhat different scopes and I don't think you'll achieve the same degree of sw security on calyx.

  • Linux is now the best gaming system.

  • I'm aligned on this. Server side ought to be the way.

  • I got my first cat!

    Jump

  • I don't have a lot of experience with cats specifically, but pets need time to get used to a new home. This can take up to three months.

    If this is day one, give them some space, blink slowly at them; let them know you're gentle and there if needed.

  • Linux is now the best gaming system.

    Jump

  • Yeah like, as a keen advocate for Linux desktop use, this is a wildly dishonest take / headline to run with.

  • Linux is now the best gaming system.

    Jump

  • Yup. It's a cat and mouse game until server side can become enconomial enough to broadly deploy (computational & network constraints).

  • by partially open source are you referring to Darwin or are there other system components which this applies to?

  • It's fair to dream. I've no doubt the CPU core count will increase somewhat in the next iteration. I wouldn't be surprised to see more fixed function hardware in their next (theoretical) SoC.

    I'm not sure if we'd ever really see that much gfx resource in a handheld, at least for now. I agree it would be very cool but vendors need to strike a very fine balance as far as power is concerned. Could go for the 'dock to unlock' approach though I genuinely appreciate that the steam deck's performance characteristics are 1:1 plugged in and on battery. Besides that, area is expensive, and the steam deck came in at an extremely attractive price in 2022 relative to other x86_64 handhelds on the market. I would hope price remains a focus to get Linux gaming and desktop experiences into more hands.

    As for halo in particular, significant improvements have been made at a packaging level to minimise idle draw with the mcm design (and I think that is somewhat reflected in current OEM offerings) but it's still not quite where you'd want it to be in a handheld system. That's not to say it won't get there eventually.

  • The two gfx IPs were in direct competition for 2020, if anything, the two platforms should be on par in terms of base level capabilities. Interesting to see them go with a fullHD panel, though. 1080p@120hz bodes pretty well for general performance expectations. Curious what the battery life will be like.

    strix halo in any gaming handheld would be bizarre, much as I'd love to see it. I get the feeling valve would hold out just a little while longer before pulling the trigger on a second gen.

  • I don't believe FPO was expanded to >2 displays, though having identical panels would eliminate VBI complexities. Will be interested in understanding how this behaves with rdna 4.
