  • I see. I'm really not keen on the use of MPT since I've seen it fairly broadly recommended to more casual users (I'd place the blame on certain YouTubers), occasionally leading to bricked ASICs, though I'm glad you're seeing tangible benefit from using it.

    Please bear in mind that custom tuning isn't a guarantee between different driver versions; the voltage floor can shift with power management firmware changes delivered driver packages (this doesn't overwrite the board VBIOS, it's loaded in at OS runtime (pmfw is also included in linux-firmware)). I'd recommend testing with vulkan memory test with each Adrenalin update, and every now and then on Fedora too.

  • Same config and distro as you.

    I've not experienced the first issue, so I don't have a great deal of input for that. Could be a display specific behaviour.

    For 2, I've had the Steam UI hang on occasion, though this has not occurred recently. I'll try to see if I can get this to repro again.

    For 3, there's a few things worth bearing in mind here. AMDGPU and the Windows Radeon KMD don't really have a lot on common. I'd be interested in any perf comparisons you have between the two systems even with the default mclk on linux. I find that Fedora is more performant in somewhat surprising scenarios, like with CP2077, Halo Infinite.

    For 4, I could show you how to leverage the powerplay sysfs interface and run this via systemd service at login if you'd like?

    Unfortunately have no input on 5 as I use Firefox but I hope you find a solution.

  • feels to me that people who work on other parts of the OS are getting fed up with the default shell experience to such an extent that they have to build their own skunkwoks solutions

  • Glad it works for you. Couch Co-op feeling like such a rarity these days.

  • Fair enough, appreciate the insight

  • Ooc, does big picture mode on a Linux distro satisfy such a requirement? I'm not sure if you have have a system start into this mode on Linux, I'm fairly sure it can be done on Windows.

    I'm also not sure if BPM on Linux has the same level of integration with power management controls and HUD etc, but I'd imagine it's mostly there?

  • Jitsi is one part of the solution. You need to integrate it into a messenger like matrix + element, and a dial in system / SIP trunk for rough parity. It's a little resource intensive to self host but well worth doing nonetheless.

  • such a fluffums!

  • I did want to expand on this, I'd be curious as to what Jeremy Soller found getting certain Ryzen mobile platforms working with coreboot.

    Perhaps we'll need to wait for OpenSIL for more comprehensive support.

    Aside from x86 core init, PSP is still required for specific OS security requirements. Can at least take solace in the fact that OEMs seem to have completely turned down MS Pluton.

  • Fast forward to today, it's kind of terrifying that the proprietors of DirectX effectively own the poster-child Vulkan game engine for both performance & visual fidelity.

  • Is this little guy waiting for you with their arms crossed?

  • That is indeed weird. I don't see a mention of summit and pinnacle ridge either, even though rome, castle peak and renoir are covered. Since this is fix is an AGESA upgrade, I'm inclined to believe it'll cover zen 2 on any platform.

    I'll reach out for clarification. I have a Matisse X production system running and there's no way I'm leaving this be.

  • PSP is required for x86 core initialisation.

  • I mean it's still a touch centric device first and foremost. I'm not so familiar though, what year were iPad pro's introduced? I wasn't aware you could flash Linux on those, that's pretty neat.

    I used to have a keyboard folio cover with the original retina iPad (I think third gen?) back in the day and got the majority of my writing done on it, but I still relied heavily on gesture navigation and what not.

    Maybe I'll try gnome on my steam deck as a quick test.

  • I also want to see RV develop to a point where it can compete with incumbents but sinkclose isn't a hardware vulnerability. The issue here lies with AGESA, AMD will be moving to OpenSIL hopefully around 2026.

    Furthermore, RISC-V is an Open ISA but that doesn't necessarily mean products based on this remain open.

  • for sure, enabling professional work where needed is all well and good, though you still need to consider the user experience with that form factor in mind.

    I kind of dread to think about using Linux DEs on a tablet. Maybe gnome would work okay. I'm not sure if plasma features a tablet mode. If so, I'll want to check that out on the steam deck.

  • I think that would be a very reasonable next step for them for sure.

    With that said (and make no mistake, I'm no fan of apple), you can get a decent range if work done on an iPad, though I would love an open alternative.
