  • AMDVLK has been discontinued as AMD are throwing their "full support" behind RADV | GamingOnLinux

    Jump

  • I feel that but it's a very early driver. I gather they hired the original developer of radv not long ago. They're moving to open kernel modules and (I may have misheard this) but are rearchiteching their kernel driver? I would imagine this would be open like amdgpu? They seem to be doing better with Wayland support as well, which is nice on either front.

    They appear to be working hard on Linux desktop experience to better support CUDA workflows but it'll benefit people who just want to play games in the long run.

  • Haven't they already sort of embraced nvk?

  • Most critically no overview at startup. I also use dash to panel as the default hot corner behaviour to show all apps is sorta bad design if you're using a mouse.

  • really looking forward to this.

    have been comfortably using gnome with a set of extensions; still have some hangups around their design decisions.

  • as far as I'm aware, those should be fine, I'd still recommend upgrading to the latest SBIOS (3.40) where available

  • But ASRock 800 series AM5 boards are killing granite ridge 3D CPUs en masse. Funny enough, it happened to me.

    I begrudgingly switched to Asus after my CPU was RMA'd as that was the only other vendor to offer ECC compat on a consumer platform.

  • I'll consider you lucky. I've had many experiences with their hardware across different segments (phones, tablets, laptops, mainboards, NICs, displays, GPUs).

    They're an atrocious vendor with extremely poor customer support (and shitty SW practicies for UMA systems and motherboards).

    I don't think many people have been as unfortunate as I have with them, the general consensus is they mark their products up considerably relative to competition (particularly mainboards & GPUs).

    To be fair, their contemporaries arent much butter.

  • in that situation, Asus are the shitty part, though it is nice to see more TV-sized monitors. Fuck HDMI.

  • Mint is so much more usable than the last time I tried and I'm in love

  • i haven't really had stability issues with kodi/jellyfin, rasbian/Ubuntu, retropi etc. I appreciate where you're coming from but it's kind of a knockabout device to help me learn more about apps I would like to host on a proper server later on.

    generally am not happy with my pi5 as a hw offering, even as far as cheap arm based SBCs go.

  • The SD card didn't abruptly die or anything like that, NCP kind of ground to a halt following automatic maintenance. I couldn't get it to cooperate, so I just decided to take it offline.

    didn't have anything important on there, was just using it as a test.

    That said, I have heard of particularly problematic SD card models that are known to fail with the pi5.

  • Totally understandable. For whatever it's worth, you can permanently disable and remove snap and snapd from an Ubuntu system (I had to do this recently with a raspberry pi 5). The amount of work to do this, however, may be practically equivalent to installing plasma on mint / lmde, but the guides on this are thankfully straightforward in case you're ever interested.

    This works well in practice, and upgrades still work as intended. I may need to follow this guide again very soon, as nextcloud pi unexpectedly died on me. I'm thinking of flashing either Ubuntu or trying their Debian fork out again.

  • I'd have thought cinnamon was a key draw for mint and lmde given it's overall familiarity with windows / user friendliness? Would kubuntu or the fedora KDE spin work here?

  • which distro and hardware config? Can't speak to docker as I don't use that any more, I've yet to get stuck into homeassistant, but games are just click and run on most distros with steam?

  • If its a recent GPU (rtx 30 series and up), it should be pretty usable today even under the newer display server (wayland).

    Hope it works out for you.
