Debating upgrading from RTX 2080 > RX 7900 GRE to please my driver making overlords, thoughts? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I cannot speak for this card itself, but moving from Nvidia to AMD made my life so much easier. Wayland works a treat, and updates never leave me with a black screen from silly diver issues. However anything for local llms is a massive pain in the ass to use compared to Nvdias cuda, rocm is quite half-baked.

Windows 10/11 VM with GPU pass through? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Running EndeavourOS and found a few games that have had some issues on linux, that I have found to be pretty much unfixable.

Unfortunately that would mean using a windows dualboot, and I really don't want windows on this laptop.

Would there be a way to run a windows VM with passing through the dgpu (AMD RX 6700m GPU), BUT able to use the dgpu when the VM is powered off? Unless I'm misunderstanding the guides, the gpu would be "locked" to the VM, and that would be unacceptable as I would mostly game on the host OS.

This is probably a given but the laptop does have integrated graphics as well (AMD Ryzen 7 5800H).

Any potential help would be appreciated, thanks!

I do not like Apple as a company and would never buy direct. This one is second-hand and much cheaper than a framework. I would definitely buy a framework if that was an option.

I would not even consider it if it was 8GB, but this one is 16GB with 512gb of storage. It is a decent deal for what it is, and I've been looking for a decently powerful arm machine for awhile.

Was looking at getting a macbook air with an m1 chip in it and running Asahi Linux on it. My question is how viable is it for daily life? E.g. browsing, torrenting, uni notes ect. Would it be equivalent to a regular x86 laptop running Linux? Or would I be missing useful features?

Edit: Another question is how it holds up against newer AMD laptops, as it is 3-4 years old at this point.

Looking for a Lemmy client for my desktop, archlinux. Was hoping for a good community recommendation and preferably open source.

WHAT! might I ask if you need any special version of discord? Or does audio sharing just-work on wayland

Are AMD laptop discrete gpus good in linux? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I got an all amd msi laptop with ryzen 7 5800h and rx6700m a few month ago, and it's been great. Wayland compatibility was ridiculously good compared to the nvidia 3060 desktop I had previously, not to mention no fear of a completely black screen on update. If I had to complain about something it would be no real cuda support, and I still cannot get my llm working with rocm.

Is there a way to stop gnome from using dGPU? in c/[email protected]

Thank you so much, adding --disable-gpu to /opt/Mullvad VPN/mullvad-vpn solved it. Thank you for your time

Thank you for your answer. It does not matter if it is X11 or wayland, both have the issue. I have tried to upload an image of nvtop (I think it was done correctly?) and it seems like a mullvad service is using the dgpu for some unknown reason. I have no clue why it is doing this, as it does not on KDE. I do not know how I would force this to use integrated so any help would be appreciated.

Been running endeavor OS on my MSI delta 15 (all AMD with no nvidia card) with KDE and it switches between integrated and dgpu like it should. However after installing gnome and using it for a bit I noticed that it was always having the dgpu idling. This basically cuts my battery life in half, and making it less than desirable. I could not find much about it online so I'm presuming its some sort of user error. I do use it for gaming a bit so would prefer a solution that does not involve completely killing the dgpu.

Edit: the issue turned out to be a mullvad service using the dgpu. This was found by looking in nvtop and checking what process is using GPU 0, and resolved by going to /opt/Mullvad VPN/mullvad-vpn and adding --disable-gpu.

Docker - what use is it? in c/[email protected]

This looks like an interesting project. Can the vpn container only route traffic that are in other containers, or can regular applications get their traffic routed by the vpn container too?

I see Docker mentioned every other thread and was wondering how useful it is for non development things, and if so what they are.

Sorry for the late reply, I also did not have a Debian system running. Installed it on an old laptop I had lying around to find the error. Seems like its due to Debian changing something around debian 10. Its still possible with systemctl reboot.

This probably does not relate too much to arch, but on Debian I found it extremely annoying to be unable to use reboot and shutdown from terminal. That was the dealbreaker for me.

Petals seems like a great project, barring the fact that your prompts can be looked at and altered by other members of the swarm.
