Congratulations on Great Performance

I'd like to know why the kernel maintainers reject reverse engineered sensor drivers. Are they that worried about HWINFO suing them or something? Where...

[Zan Lynx]

Yes that's expected. You cannot really have a stable OS release and wildly upgrade the kernel. That's one reason I like Fedora because it moves faster....

There is a difference between 10-bit color and HDR. It's the gamma curve, I believe it is called. With 10-bit SDR the brightness is identical between...

[Zan Lynx]

I don't know if this project is using it, but there's another option besides compiling the program with profiling support included. You can use "perf"...

According to Wikipedia (and its sources) SMT was invented by IBM and then first used commercially in the Alpha CPU by DEC. As I remember it, AMD bought...

I don't see the point. If a gamer wants to do that, they can either turn it off themselves, run software to set thread affinity masks, or the game itself...

It isn't as if ECC RAM is difficult to build. It is one extra RAM chip on the DIMM.

"Limited stocks", hah....

[Zan Lynx]

This has to be old information. I am running with ECC RAM on this Ryzen 5950 and its latency stats are right in line with any other 2,666 MHz CL19 RAM....

People need it even if they don't know it.

I've helped out friends and family who have corrupted documents. Was it their drive? I guess they...

[Zan Lynx]

It's not just you. I do like LVM sometimes. But my most favorite configuration is one big partition with everything in it. Except for boot and swap, of...

[Zan Lynx]

I remember Phoronix in the past being slow to load and the forums being annoying to use.

I have not noticed anything like that in the last...

[Zan Lynx]

GPT UEFI booting IS guaranteed to work.

And in my opinion if you need to run Linux on hardware older than ten years, use a special distro...

[Zan Lynx]

This is apparently your imagination. I've had two hard drives fail in my NAS btrfs array since 2012. One of those failures was something strange in the...
