No. AMD. See my other comments in this thread. Though they are in every major gaming console, the bulk of AMD sales are aimed at the datacenter.

First, DLSS is supported on Linux.

Second, DLSS is kinda bullshit. The article goes into details that are fairly accurate.

Lastly, AMD is at parity with Nvidia with features. You can see my other comments, but AMD's goal isn't selling cards for gamers. Especially ones that require an entire dedicated PSU to power them.

Actually...not true. Nvidia recently became bigger in the DC because of their terrible inference cards being bought up, but AMD overtook Intel on chips with all major cloud platforms last year, and their Xilinix chips are slowly overtaking the sales of regular CPUs for special purposes processing. By the end of this year, I bet AMD will be the most deployed brand in datacenters globally. FPGA is the only path forward in the architecture world at this point for speed and efficiency in single-purpose processing. Nvidia doesn't have a competing product.

Because they choose not to go full idiot though. They could make their top-line cards to compete if they slam enough into a pipeline and require a dedicated PSU to compete, but that's not where their product line intends to go. That's why it's smart.

For reference: AMD has the most deployed GPUs on the planet as of right now. There's a reason why it's in every gaming console except Switch 1/2, and why OpenAI just partnered with them for chips. The goal shouldn't just making a product that churns out results at the cost of everything else does, but to be cost-effective and efficient. Nvidia fails at that on every level.

AMD is at least running the smart game on their hardware releases with generational leaps instead of just jacking up power requirements and clock speeds as Nvidia does. Hell, even Nvidia's latest lines of Jetson are just recooked versions from years ago.

My mind is still blown on why people are so interested in spending 2x the cost of the entire machine they are playing on AND a hefty power utility bill to run these awful products from Nvidia. Generational improvements are minor on the performance side, and fucking AWFUL on the product and efficiency side. You'd think people would have learned their lessons a decade ago.

Bruv, your post is getting the same downvotes in multiple places for the same reason.

I think it reasons to ask...did YOU even watch this video? It's pretty bad.

Okay, so this is one of Asus's consumer models that fits in the "Windowstop" category, meaning a lot of the hardware is going to be windows-only for various reasons.

It's got an ALC272 which IS supported, but that doesn't mean the microphone will be, especially if it's on the USB bus for whatever reason.

Couple questions:

1. Do other microphones work, just not internal?
2. Does your volume control work as expected
3. Does the webcam work, and does the internal microphone work only when the webcam is engaged?
4. What do apps like Discord or Zoom detect as available for your inputs?

As a test, install pavucontrol and qasmixer. Open pavucontrol, and check ALL the input settings (there are many combos). If nothing there shows activity, launch qasmixer, select the 'hw' view on the right, then try selecting different mixers and see if one finally clicks.

If any of these are successful, your mic is detected, and your mixer settings are messed up so it's not being enabled as an input sink.

If none of these work, you're going to have to dig restart, then run sudo dmesg and grep through looking for information regarding audio devices, or similar errors to see if it can't detect it.

From the product specs, it looks like it might have Harmon Kardon speakers, which may also tie into the microphone, and that's going to be problematic if it's a USB device for a number of reasons I won't dive into. Overall, this model just seems to be problematic from digging around. Example: https://www.reddit.com/r/ASUS/comments/160d3wj/asus_creator_laptop_q530v_constant_problems/

What's the exact model number of this Asus laptop?

Ya fucked. We all are.

Another dumbass take on "Hollywood" 😂

It's almost like they tell stories...for money. Stories that they are created to get people to pay for them. It's almost disgusting the way they craft it for profit...so sickening!! The fact that they use heroic characters and procedural development of them to win against tyranny is total proof they are liberals trying to get people to believe in a liberal agenda!!! 🙄

Fucking. Idiot.

Support for UEFI on MBR was originally added in blivet#764 to accommodate cloud image use cases, such as AWS, which at the time did not support UEFI booting on GPT disks. These constraints no longer apply to modern cloud platforms, making MBR-based UEFI setups unnecessary for current Fedora deployments.

Exactly. MBR is pretty much not used at this point except on legacy hardware where EFI is not supported. As mentioned, it's also unreliable in this particular combo.

Removing this does two things:

1. Ensures the most reliable way of installing is enforced by default
2. Removed untested and entangled bits of code that allows this to work (though the volume of code removed won't be huge)

This is the issue. There are all kinds of special steps needed because of various issues.

Skip Garuda and go for a distro that is known to work well on Surface like Fedora, Arch, or Mint.

Play 'Goonies II'

Full Idiocracy.

Fuck this timeline.

He doesn't have any leverage to make it worth the risk.

Just...SLAMMED it

His printer must have run out of the "Strongly Worded Letter" paper.

Zigbee devices have their pairing process defined on the device. It's just a method of generating a trust with a Zigbee network, so whatever method will end up with the same result.

Those IKEA devices have issues being part of multiple networks in my experience. Some are not even capable, so if that's your plan, expect problems.

What a gigantic piece of human shit.
