Linux AMDGPU Control Application Adds vBIOS Dumping, Fan Control Hysteresis

[Quackdoc]

Is there even such a thing? And then, wouldn't you want that running on a rust compositor or even a fully rust desktop environment?
You know what, maybe we should just use Redox.

there are plenty of native rust gui toolkits now, most of them have better perf then GTK

The dGPU is dynamically powered up and down depending on whether it's being used or not.

Is there command to check the current status of the dGPU, if it is on/off etc?

I know of egui; is there anything else worth checking out (that's mature and doesn't have a ton of dependencies/bloat)?

Runtime pm sysfs interface: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documenta...-devices-power

E.g.,

cat /sys/class/drm/cardX/device/power/runtime_status

Replace X with the card the represents your dGPU. If it's on, it will say "active", if it's off "suspended". There are other intermediate states as well per the documentation above.

slint is pretty minimal and can be run completely rust, but it also has a QT backend if you want. Cosmic is also ofc the new bees knees, it's design is very gtk-esq, but it is completely rust. Floem has a lot of potential too. It's what the code editor Lapce uses, However it's not a 100% rust capable as it uses skia for graphics if you count that as off the table. Rui exists but it's pretty basic.

Cosmic and Slint are the two guis I highly reccomend (with slint supporting android too)

Im not sure how much of these are "fully rust" but you also have frameworks like leptos and dioxus which are more web inspired. Dioxus I think is more or less like a react native, but less crappy.

It's really nice looking, but functionality wise i think corectrl is a bit ahead. And in addition it also supports CPU control from same software which is a big +

The name of application obviously aimed to AMD GPUs as highlighted by the article.

What does that even mean?

can someone explain to me why amd does not bundle LACT or corectrl with their amd.com driver bundle?

And it's behind in those features. CPU control was just added bonus i mentioned in corectrl
