Bazzite ? maybe not for V-rising. by d3Xt3r in c/linux@lemmy.ml

This has nothing to do with Arch or Bazzite, it's actually a bug in recent kernels. Switching to Mint only fixed it for you because Mint uses an old kernel.

The fix/workaround is to enable "above 4G decoding" and "resizable BAR" in your BIOS. If your BIOS does not have these options, you can either downgrade to an earlier kernel (or OS image if you're on Bazzite), or switch to a patched kernel like the Cachy kernel.

Indeed. But I think some confusion will still remain as long as the ntfs-3g FUSE driver is still included by distros. Because right now, you have to explicitly specify the filesystem type as ntfs3 if you want to use the new in-kernel driver, otherwise it would use ntfs-3g. And most guides on the web still haven't been updated to use ntfs3 in the fstab, so I'm afraid this confusion will continue to persist for some time.

Promising, but since there's no mention at all about TDP / power consumption, those Geekbench scores are kinda meaningless.

Which software was ahead of its time? by d3Xt3r in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Opera also invented the browser Speed Dial, which was super handy back in the day.

But most importantly, Opera invented tabs, or at least the concept of tabbed browsing. I recall using Opera on Windows 3.11 and for the longest time, even during the Win 9x era, no other app used tabs.

In addition to mouse gestures, they had customisable keyboard shortcuts for practically every browser feature, again, something which very few apps bothered with.

The page compression built into Opera Mini was a life saver on Symbian and Windows Mobile devices back in the 2G/GPRS era. Opera Mini loaded pages blindingly quick and there was nothing else like it on the market, even leading up to early Android days.

but thankfully he started Vivaldi which feels like the spiritual successor.

Too bad he made the unfortunate decision of going with the Chromium engine instead of Gecko, or even making their own engine. I would've loved to use Vivalidi if it weren't for that fact.

What are you most excited when it comes to linux in 2024? by d3Xt3r in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[-] d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz 48 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Plasma 6, but just as excited for kernel 6.7 featuring:

  • bcachefs
  • AMD Seamless Boot (for flicker-free streamlined booting)
  • Scheduler improvements for better responsiveness/performance
  • IO_uring FUTEX support for better performance
  • More FUTEX2 work for potentially better gaming performance
  • Better write performance for eMMC chips (great for many IoT boards)
  • TCP network performance improvements
  • DisplayPort Alt Mode 2.1 support over Type-C

Raspberry Pi 5 Benchmarks: Significantly Better Performance, Improved I/O (www.phoronix.com)
submitted 10 months ago by d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz to c/technology@lemmy.world
122 comments fedilink

Four years after the Raspberry Pi 4 shipped, today the Raspberry Pi 5 is launching with a much improved SoC leading to significant performance gains.

The Raspberry Pi 5 is designed to deliver a 2~3x performance improvement over the Raspberry Pi 4. The Raspberry Pi 5 features a quad-core Cortex-A76 processor that clocks up to 2.4GHz, compared to the four Cortex-A72 cores found in the Raspberry Pi 4 that only clocked up to 1.8GHz. The graphics are also much-improved with now having an 800MHz VideoCore VII graphics processor over the VideoCore VI graphics with the Raspberry Pi 4. The Raspberry Pi 5 is capable of driving two 4K @ 60Hz displays and features 4K @ 60 HEVC decode hardware capabilities.

Also interesting with the Raspberry Pi 5 is that it features in-house silicon in the form of the RP1 "southbridge" used for much of the board's I/O capabilities. This southbridge should yield faster USB I/O along with other I/O bandwidth upgrades like a doubling of the peak SD card performance. The Raspberry Pi 5 also features a single-lane PCI Express 2.0 interface for improved connectivity.

Edit: Is streamdeck on linux just trash? by d3Xt3r in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml

Just so you're aware, streamdeck-ui is an unofficial program made by one guy in his spare time, so it's kinda unfair to call it "trash", and compare it with official software made by a team of full-time paid developers, who also have full access and documentation for the internals of a device their company created...

Google won’t repair cracked Pixel Watch screens by d3Xt3r in c/android@lemmy.world
[-] d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz 47 points 11 months ago

Garmin does pretty well. Although you could argue they're more fitness and sports oriented, they do have "normal" smartwatches too like the Venu and Lily series, and also hybrid watches like the Vivomove. All Garmins have excellent battery life and there have been very few complaints about them. If anything, the most common complaint is that they've got too many watches to choose from, which can be confusing for someone new to the Garmin lineup.

[-] d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz 51 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

It was handy to have as a simple .doc/.docx/.rtf viewer. In my previous job, some of our teams would create documentation written in .docx (eg as part of a application package), or automatic reports generated as .rtf files, and WordPad enabled us to view these docs from secure, locked down servers, without needing to install any addition software (which would increase the attack surface and add unnecessary maintenence overhead).

With MS now getting rid of WordPad, I'd imagine it'll be a bit of a hassle - they would now have to switch to a different native file format (which would be a PITA to convert several hundreds existing files), or install a file viewer or some other app, which would add maintenance overhead.

WordPad wasn't bloat, it was a tiny, executable which didn't depend on any special dlls or frameworks.

You know what's actually bloat? Candy Crush, Bing, Ads in File Explorer and all that MS Store / UWP / "Modern UI" crap that MS keeps pushing out.

PSA: You can upload images to a Lemmy instance without anyone knowing by d3Xt3r in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[-] d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz 46 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Or just disable image uploads completely. We got by on Reddit without any built-in image hosting functionality for over a decade, so Lemmy should be fine without it as well - especially considering that we don't really have many image-heavy communities, besides the NSFW instances. I mean, storage costs money you know, and with Lemmy being run by volunteers, it makes even more sense to get rid of image hosting to save costs.

Not really. Instead of dumping all the drivers into one repo, there's now a separate repo just for GPU drivers, which is just a staging area, before they get merged into the main repo.

If you ask "why"? It's like creating an extra folder so that your files are organized better.

As an end user, it's not going to change anything for us.
