The devs have been working hard to hammer out those troublesome edge cases. There’s a lot less of them than there was a year or two ago.

IIRC Nvidia needs explicit sync support to work reliably. It’s fairly new and might not have landed in some distros, especially the stable releases.
IPv6 has privacy addresses, though. Stuff on my network generates a new random address every day and uses that address for outgoing connections, so you can’t really track individual devices inside my network.
IPv6 has a policy of throwing more address space at stuff to make routing simpler, though.
IPv4 will individually route tiny slices of address space all over the world, IPv6 just assigns a massive chunk of space in the first place and calls it a day.
Well, for starters, unless you’re running a quite old card you should be using amdgpu, not radeon. You seem to have them both loaded.
Post a dmesg?
ERROR: […/src/amd/vulkan/radv_physical_device.c:1877] Code 0 : Device ‘/dev/dri/renderD128’ is not using the AMDGPU kernel driver
This is the smoking gun, btw.
I see you’ve got it working, so I’ll just add a bit of explanation.
AMD GPUs used to use a driver called radeon
. It was replaced with the current amdgpu
driver. For a while, you had devices that were supported by both drivers and you could choose between the stable radeon
driver that was missing features like Vulkan and HDMI audio or the brand new amdgpu
driver that had the newest features but was unstable and not well tested.
The kernel has a policy of not unnecessarily breaking things with kernel changes so even though amdgpu
has been well tested in the years since, devices from that era still default to the radeon
driver and need to be forced onto the amdgpu
driver.
I mean, there is, but people have worked hard to set it up so you can just click the button and it all happens.
So after it’s done you can adjust it’s cooking time, but instead of a cook time knob that you turn they try to pretend it’s AI?
Slackware just does as it’s told and gets out of the way.
There’s no such thing as stopping processor degradation, it’s just that it usually takes so long that nobody cares anymore.
I meant to do this when I built my old system back in 2018, but I found the handful of games I regularly play worked okay on Linux so I never got around to it, and Linux game compatibility has improved leaps and bounds from there.
If it’s a Steam game, for most of them these days you only have to tick a box in Steam’s settings to tell it to use Proton for all games and the game will just work when you click play.
You might give it a try. Or don’t, I’m not your mother.
I don’t even have the software for my mouse installed. I think she’s massively overestimating the value of mouse software updates.
She’s just trying to figure out how to make renting cheap peripherals make sense so that you can keep paying Logitech forever.
Sure, but you couldn’t analyse an individual’s purchasing behaviour over time and show just that person ads for baby clothes because you think they got pregnant.
We didn’t used to have tracking, you know? You used to just put up a billboard or put an ad in the newspaper and you just hoped it’d lead to new customers.
It’s a bit weird that the advertising people implemented fine gained tracking without asking anyone and now we’re just expected to pretend there’s no other way for advertising to work.
This. If you ask an image generator for a bed in the shape of a pineapple, it probably has no pineapple-shaped beds in its training data but it has pineapples and beds and can mash the concepts together.
Since anyone can download and train their own AI, that ship has probably sailed.
If stuff is designed for big servers that run Linux, it’s easier to get it to run on a desktop PC if the PC runs Linux too because then it’s the same thing except much less powerful.
Ah, that makes sense.
What? Oh, this pitchfork? I was just, uh, putting it away.
Well, Nvidia initially didn’t intend to support Wayland at all. They’re being dragged into it kicking and screaming, one step at a time.
Blasphemy!
4k monitors are beautiful for normal desktop usage, making text crisp and clean with smooth curves and none of that blockiness that comes from low resolution, and with modern scaling settings you can even have 4K text and 1080p graphics at the same time with the same performance as native 1080p.
