Linux 5.15 Hardware Monitoring Is Big But Overdue For AMD

You mean running on the desktop or when gaming etc.?
MangoHud will monitor temperatures, CPU/GPU load, RAM/VRAM utilization, fps/frametimes, etc.

The box I ordered comes with, quoting Lenovo: "Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 11AX (2x2) & Bluetooth® 5.2" (which is this one without the extra stuff on amazon.com) with this Linux support. It's pretty cheap for what it can do, maybe you'd like to swap the card?


Edit: according to Lenovo, the Yoga 7 Slim Pro comes with either the Realtek or the Intel WiFi card, depending on which of the two offered models you ordered:
82N50009GE (Ryzen 7 5800H): Realtek 8852AE 11AX (2x2) & Bluetooth® 5.1
82MS001NGE (Ryzen 9 5900HX): Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 11AX (2x2) & Bluetooth® 5.1

A model with 5600H isn't listed, so I assume you're from a different market, other than "GE"=Germany, or it's not directly from Lenovo.

Thanks, I would consider swapping it if the driver is not added to mainline kernel in the next 3,4 releases. For now the aur dkms package works great. I'm much more interested in the platform_profile issue. Maybe I'll ping you privately after you get yours to check if it's a cpu issue or a lenovo issue

Please feel free. I have already added the platform_profie issue to my "to check" list yesterday, so we're both interested in this. I will contact you.

This is why its better to buy Intel, with Intel you know that

your money go into bribes instead of into fast hardware

I don't know, maybe.
But if my choice is Intel or AMD, then Intel does have higher better support on Linux with open source drivers merged mainline ahead of release.

Now with the upcoming Alder Lake, Intel also have a CPU with a heterogeneous architecture consisting of a mix of big and small cores like big.LITTLE / DynamIQ on ARM. AMD have nothing like that.

So it seems Intel is the better choice.

There is no compelling reason to chose AMD. AMD need to step up their game and bring something to the table, such as open source FSP and no binary blobs.

So no love for Zen1 .
Is there an "easy" way to configure the output you get from the HWMON driver? It's hard to identify components like drives (SATA and NVME) if you have multiple in our system.

[kiffmet]

Melcar you can use

smartctl

to read out the drive temperatures or load the

drivetemp

kernel module to have them show up when running

sensors

and to have them get their own hwmon nodes.

I'm already using drive-temp along with sensors. The thing is that drive-temp uses scsi tags, and unless you dig in a bit more and figure out which is which (is you have more than one disk) it can be confusing, especially for someone not familiar with these stuff.
Also, the sensors output respects no sensible order. It comes out as a jumbled mess, sort off. While it does group individual sensors into one, if you are reading from various sensors, it displays them in no particular order. I guess it's just the OCD in me talking, but a "easy" way to configure the output would be welcomed.

I can use something like psensors or gkrellm that lets me do what I want, but sometimes one just wants a nice simple terminal.
