It's for the best. We still have Titanfall 2 and Northstar.

man misdreavus with pain split was so annoying to catch back in the GS days

Suppose this alleviates the IHS height/thickness in some way for GNR-X. Expected it would eventually play out like this though it's sad that RPL / HPT DT had to suffer.

I've had situations like this with my notebook where it would appear to do nothing from the GUI when clicked. It was because I didn't have power connected, and I think gnome software has since been updated to reflect this.

Assuming you were connected to power, I'm not sure but it may be worth reporting as a bug to gnome-software?

Oh right, I was under the impression you were multi booting. Please don't go back to windows to test on my account. I can check in with the lab next year.

Congrats on your move to Linux though!

FWIW, your UEFI is generally likely to reset with significant hardware changes (system memory, CPU). It's generally fine with video card, disk and power supply swaps so long as it doesn't boot into a stop code as a result.

Huh strange. Fwiw fluid motion frames is algorithmic, it's not an AI feature.

I'd still be intereted in how DXVK fares in the windows side. Given you're using a NV23 dGPU, I have a pretty solid theory as to what might be going on here, though I'm a little confused as to why windows behaves differently from Linux since power management firmware is a shared object.

Does this behave the same on battery and wall power?

Lethal company is d3d11. I'd be curious as to what happens when you play it on windows with DXVK.

I'd also be curious as to whether you're using Eco mode in Adrenalin on windows, or technologies like Radeon Chill.

Which index were these disks arranged in? Windows will install its bootloader on 0 regardless of where you physically install the OS.

I like to keep OS disks self contained, and tend to completely remove other connected disks when conducting a new install. This is a must for Windows, I've not had a Linux distro place it's bootloader in anything other than the OS destination.

Pluton capable hardware is present on a wide range of contemporary IHV offerings (requires TPM2 hw on the SoC) but OEMs selling devices with these don't seem remotely interested in enabling it.

Vendor uptake has been minimal, and participating vendors seem to have changed their minds and stopped, though I don't think this will affect hw implementation as that wasn't really governed by Microsoft to begin with.

Vendors are no longer actively implementing the pluton spec. It's not in itself equivalent to Intel ME, whereas something like platform security processor (aka PSP - based on ARM TrustZone) could be considered a closer equivalent.

Pluton is a weird thing. It's not dedicated HW designed or produced by Microsoft, it's more of a specification which requires something like TPM2 hardware on a given SOC.

Most vendors do not implement the pluton spec in their offerings.
