Thanks.
This is sort of thing I really wish AMD would put in the miniscule extra effort of doing cross-platform in the first place. The "Radeon...

[arQon]

I am, but that was exactly my point, and that of the OP: that the GCN 1.0 cards, despite being superior or at least equivalent in performance and functionality...

[arQon]

jep, guaranteed. sigh. (It won't be an idiot developer though: it'll be his idiot manager after the developer thoughtlessly mentions it to him).
...

[arQon]

That's interesting, because in my experience even the 7970 occasionally has the edge, when it definitely "shouldn't". (Which can only be because...

[arQon]

It'll depend a lot on what workload you're trying to run, but in general (say, games) the 390 should still significantly outperform the 570.

[arQon]

Well, IDK what's going on with your system then, but you've obviously found something novel: Mez (see above) and I have both had no problems with dist-upgrades....

[arQon]

Yeah.

There's always one guy who feels compelled to use whatever the latest retarded gimmick added to the language is, regardless of...

[arQon]

Realistically, no - not unless there's something hopelessly broken in TGSI. "Shaders is shaders", basically: you MIGHT get 1 or 2 %, MAYBE,...

[arQon]

"Should be pretty complete" - that's the sort of well-planned, well-executed level of feature handling we've come to expect from systemd alright....

[arQon]

huh?! You seem to be very very confused, unless you're talking specifically about "for [my] money" and nobody else in the world.
...

[arQon]

This is simply not true.

Hate on Ubuntu all you want - there are plenty of real reasons to :P - but false "information" like this...

[arQon]

No they aren't: Xe is explicitly NOT a "graphics" card.

It'll be at least another generation before Intel actually makes a real...

[arQon]

orly? :P

Dear Clueless Newbie,

MacOS was released in 2001. Windows NT, which introduced the current services model, predates...

[arQon]

Thanks.

I'd still say that by the time you're looking at a Node 304, stepping up to mATX gets you absurdly-better airflow and expandability...

[arQon]

I know of at least one such device that uses Debian (pre- / without systemd) and has probably sold over a million units by now. So, yeah.

...

[arQon]

Agreed on part 1, but part 2? The 3950X is a *16C/32T* part. If that doesn't fit your definition of "high core count", what does?...

[arQon]

What's the point of an ITX mobo when you're going to add more drives than will fit in an ITX case? (Not being snarky: I genuinely don't see the point...

[arQon]

There are a few places where the teams simply don't have the skill, after all the years of hand-holding DX (and to be fair, GL too, though a lesser extent)...

[arQon]

umm, how is it a LOSING battle, when DX12 use outpaces Vulkan by at least 10 to 1?

It's not "entertaining" at all: it's a @#$%ing...

[arQon]

Sorry, I guess I was unclear. I'm not arguing with that in the abstract, and I do agree that it's often the case for SOME code, especially if that code...
