Hm, I wonder if some day we can use RADV + DXVK/VKD3D etc. on Windows, in place of AMD's existing 3D driver stack. Atleast for games. It would be interesting...

[sandy8925]

Can you set all schedulers to performance, and disable thermald? thermald's aim is to keep operating temperature low and comfortable, so of course it's...

[sandy8925]

???? What stability problem are you talking about? Been using Intel GPUs for several years now, no stability issues here. Definitely none in the last...

[sandy8925]

Oh trust me I totally agree and feel the same way. But, AMD hadn't bothered fixing many of the issues I had with my card. And the reality is that all...

[sandy8925]

True, but it does help a lot with responsiveness, with multiple apps each potentially using multiple threads. And you can't deny how useful multiple cores/threads...

[sandy8925]

So, seems like something is wrong with Tigerlake performance, atleast on Linux. Dunno if it's heat, power, or scheduler woes.

Zen 2 is still...

[sandy8925]

Best way to get things working is to fix it yourself....

[sandy8925]

You could try metal TIM and undervolting, they reall help. Also AIO will make a huge difference....

[sandy8925]

You also forget that Linus Torvalds is using a Polaris GPU in his machine, until he moves on to another GPU Polaris support is guaranteed to be alive...

[sandy8925]

Linus must have ranted about problems with his 580. I guess if you want it to work well, you should just switch to the same GPU that Linus uses.

[sandy8925]

It's only for kernel devs/debugging. I guess they must be facing slowdowns in printk due to locking, probably during development time, or practically...

[sandy8925]

Apache Commons libraries are very useful. I use them all the time in my Android apps. Why write yet another for/while loop to read a string into a file,...

[sandy8925]

I have a HP scanner/printer, works well with Xsane. I may have used Skanlite with it too....

[sandy8925]

Just use Ubuntu 20.10 - as to what wouldn't work, no idea....

[sandy8925]

Hm, that's concerning. I don't have a need for speeds higher than 1 Gbps for Ethernet, but the fact they're not working on faster Ethernet, makes me worried...

[sandy8925]

Yes it is:



And then:



What you linked to explicitly proves that what I said is true:...

[sandy8925]

It sounds more like it's a workaround for bad ACPI on those laptops, than a bug in kernel code. If the hardware is capable of D3, but the ACPI tables...

[sandy8925]

KDE is better than GNOME in this matter. GNOME 3 didn't even have a suspend option in the menu until recently.

When I first used GNOME 3...

[sandy8925]

Windows refuses to suspend for me. It just wakes itself up after a few seconds. Or never goes into suspend. If I use Windows I have to shut it down once...

[sandy8925]

Ugh no, no Electron apps on mobile. That crap is slow and janky even on desktops, it's going to be so much worse on mobile. I've used this ReactNative...
