  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    My lower res, lower DPI display from my old Dell laptop looks much more sharp and crisp than the fancy pants Framework 13 high res display.

    Yeah the 780m on Phoenix has been buggy AF.

    But the 7900xtx in my desktop has been working like a dream.

    glad I'm not the only one suffering lmao. it's such a good chip but the drivers are far more heavily than I've ever experienced on Nvidia

    Unfortunately I understand AMDs side too. Shared memory access is hard in general. Unfortunately you have to depend on that for integrated gpus.

    Kernel 6.8, aside from the GPU issues, has been great on this platform so I do still believe the 7040's will maintain the AMD tendency to age like fine wine.

    It works so solid but there's just a lot of jank right now. I spose some of it is that my old nvidia stuff was very old comparatively (1650ti mobile until recently, and before that I had a 1070ti on my desktop) so im definitely just experiencing the new hardware tax
