From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So NVIDIA just doesn't cut it on Linux/proton I've come to learn. Looking at the best bang//buck, it this the AMD card people are flocking to? 7800 XT maybe?

In my experience, as a nongamer just laptop user, Intel is way more stable than AMD too. Might consider an Intel GPU? But I only know the integrated ones on Laptops, which work really well

The dedicated Intel GPUs have nowhere near as much performance as an RX 7900. The video encoder is very good though.

Also stuff like waking up from suspend, random freezes and power management work better than on AMD. I would assume this also applies to the Arc GPUs?

Can't say I've experienced any such issues on recent AMD UMA or dGPU systems; power management is pretty well documented and generally reliable without any need for user intervention. Curious as to which platforms were problematic in your experience for my own learning; it's likely that anything pre-polaris was kind of wonky

I've also not had any issues with Intel integrated graphics on Linux, but ANV on Arc is a bit messy with translation layers like vkd3d right now. The gen12 (DG1, RKL and later) driver & technology stack appears to be quite different.

No idea but a Thinkpad T495 with AMD Vega mobile graphics. Dont remember the generation.

Fedora + systemd + KDE Plasma had always issues waking up from sleep. Needed to force shutdown a lot.

huh, interesting. Picasso (3000)? Raven Ridge (2000)?

Similar if not practically identical chassis to my T14 Gen2a. My one is Cezanne based and the experience with fedora/wayland/gnome has been perfectly smooth. Did you spot any logs relating to those issues?

[–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 months ago

Picasso.

No logs afaik. But that pile of crap doesnt even boot anymore, like no BIOS. Trying to fix it somehow.
