Only for Studio Ghibli and similar movies, those are the main ones that are 90 mins or less 😋

Most people are going to stream anyway,...

[sandy8925]

Well I tried using F2FS and while it works, I had to disable automount because it required a file system check at boot time, which then slowed down boot...

[sandy8925]

Ooh, nice features in this release!



This one is especially good. Although IIRC wasn't there already some list of devices and...

[sandy8925]

Yep. My R9 390 is GCN 1.1 (or GCN 2, whichever) and I'm now happily playing Warhammer 2 on Vulkan with RADV ACO. I haven't used the Radeon drivers for...

[sandy8925]

They're pretty bad. I have two different laptops eith pre-Ryzen CPUs, they're really bad. Opening YouTube website is a slow and frustrating experience....

[sandy8925]

I learned the hard way that if you want something done, you need to do it yourself....

[sandy8925]

Um, yes it does. Game streaming and recording. Super important for many gamers. Yes I know not everyone streams games, but for those who do, they all...

[sandy8925]

Yeah, AV1 decode is pretty important, but on the other hand, not aa big a problem for those buying dGPU, since those are usually paired with powerful...

[sandy8925]

Except that video encoding is very important for their target market of Windows desktop users and gamers, especially for their dGPU. Many people prefer...

[sandy8925]

True, but I'd also rather they focus on having more applications support Wayland. Of course, certain third party software will probably never support...

[sandy8925]

Well you see the work on Mutter is what's needed to fix those issues you care about. Vulkan allows for lower level access and explicitly supports multithreading...

[sandy8925]

As usual idiot AMD fanboys jump to defend AMD. Yet another AMD AGESA bug. Sure it's not a hardware bug, and it's "easily fixable" by pushing...

[sandy8925]

Ooh, sounds interesting! I don't use such cameras myself, but maybe it will allow for some low power and cheap automation and remote control using say,...

[sandy8925]

Yep, that's what I do too....

[sandy8925]

That's bullshit. All they're asking for is for AMD to support all of their hardware features like they already do on Windows.

On Windows,...

[sandy8925]

Even with that parameter radeon starts up, and then realizes it's not needed. But it stays loaded as a module. I just blacklisted it recently, in case...

[sandy8925]

Radeon is unusable with GCN 1.0/1 1. It's more unstable and performs worse than running AMDGPU kernel driver on those cards.

...

[sandy8925]

Does any GCN 2.0 hardware actually ship with VGA outputs? I don't think that's the case for dGPUs, but maybe on a laptop? Otherwise it's not relevant...

[sandy8925]

That's why I'll switch to Intel's Xe dGPU if they make a good one and provide good Linux support. Lesser headaches that way.

Until then,...

[sandy8925]

The iGPU can be relevant for streaming gameplay, if the dGPU doesn't support the relevant codec....
