Sure, I’m not saying Arm or Qualcomm are irrelevant in the gaming space, in fact I think Arm is going to replace X86 more and more, like we see it happening on servers too.

But FEX only runs on ARM64. And you wouldn’t put a platform with a 15 year old efficiency-focused CPU into the Steam Frame. So this Kuno platform is probably unrelated to gaming and comes from some other project instead.

I don’t think this is likely to be gaming related.
That’s a 15 year old efficiency trimmed 32bit ARMv7-A CPU.

Man those quotes from Chris Hays in the article hit hard.

I think I need to watch the video they are from tonight.

linus buying a private jet

Wow, thanks, I didn’t know that.

Before he was just mildly annoying and not something I wanted to watch.

Now he’s confirmed as an asshole, who must not be supported, from my perspective.

I am assuming everything other than the two ext4 partitions will have to go.

Your /dev/sda5 the FAT32 mounted at /boot/efi has to stay too! That’s your EFI System Partition, it’s essential for the boot chain.

What you can do is delete the “Microsoft” directory that’s on there, but keep the one named after your distribution!

No, I’m not interested in that topic

And one even starts with:

You’re completely right

Hahaha

Devs of which project? I thought it was in Kernel 6.14 and wine 11?

There is the Mint version that is based directly on Debian, instead of Ubuntu: LMDE

I haven’t used it myself, maybe someone with actual experience can comment on it.

That’s not what I read unfortunately. When booted in secureboot, the kernel enters lockdown mode which disables all hibernation, regardless of the swap being encrypted or plain text.

It seems there are two kernel patches available to enable hibernation in lockdown mode, but not in mainline.

This one is more of an admin override, where you take the risk of root replacing the swap contents

And this one is complicated but uses the TPM to ensure only the kernel, not root, can write the hibernation image in a way that causes it to be trusted on waking, so there is no reduction in assurance compared to clean booting a signed kernel with secureboot:

But that’s all too much for me, I intend to turn it off again.

I recently learned that the option to hibernate goes away when Fedora is booted with SecureBoot. It was surprising to me, and might be good to know for you, that’s why I’m mentioning it.

She answered that in her blog post that the Phoronix article links to:

Which GPUs does this work with? Is it only AMD GPUs?

Whether or not your GPU can benefit from it depends on the kernel driver - more specifically, whether it sets up the dmem cgroup controller.

amdgpu and xe both have support for the dmem cgroup controller already. In theory, Intel GPUs running the xe kernel driver should benefit as well, although I’m not sure anyone tested this yet.

For nouveau, I have sent a patch for dmem cgroup support to the mailing lists. This patch is also included in my development branch, so if you use my AUR package it should work. In other cases, you will need to wait for the patch to be picked up by your distribution, or apply it yourself.

The proprietary NVIDIA kernel modules do not support dmem cgroups yet, so this won’t work there.

my workflow does not work at all with the secondary screen switching in sync with the primary screen

Same here. My workaround so far has been to put the windows that belong on the secondary to the “Keep Window on All Desktops” mode.

That literally what the link provides

Steam is different from the Google or Apple stores, because they aren’t the gatekeeper of a platform.

But yeah maybe 30% is a bit high for games that don’t use any of the steam features, just the payment processing, review section and download servers.

I forgot about that game. What was it again? Some sort of shooter moba?

you can only run executables on the primary boot partition

lol

Have you tried asking ChatGPT or Gemini ?

lmao

Emergency thermal shut-off is a very common function in various pieces of computer hardware. And if throttling doesn’t help it should indeed shut down, rather than cause damage.

Two that I run for our little group outside the ones you mention are Space Engineers and Valheim

Edit: Space Engineers is a little annoying though, you either have to use some emulated / translated setup, (I think I saw some being cobbled together by others), or you have to run a Windows Server VM.
