As a large language model, I don’t have an opinion on this subject.

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?

Do what you want instead of what we want? Lol, no. And if you find a registry hack or something to do it, we’ll ‘fix’ that in the next update.

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.

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.

It also calls all the customers who don’t want to be locked out of the product they paid for ‘fickle’ and brought up gamergate out of nowhere, so I’m honestly not sure what sort of agenda they’re pushing.

IIRC VLC on Windows uses it’s own included ffmpeg libraries for decoding so you don’t need to mess around with Windows codecs.

Summon kidney stone.

Embedding:

I think we’re going to see major NPCs get their dialog hand-written and background characters get AI dialog.

You could have random shopkeepers ramble on for hours about how their kids are doing in school or trouble they’re having with a delivery company or whatever topic. Nobody’s going to write that, but we could AI generate it.

Never know when you’ll have a flush of inspiration.

I switched my laptop to Wayland about three years ago. AMD graphics, normal DPI 60Hz screen, doesn’t really do more than run a web browser.

My gaming desktop needed more of those troublesome edge cases hammered out - freesync in xwayland, app DPI scaling in xwayland, etc. I only switched it last year.
