Hi!

It's just an idea to make dualboot superfluous.

Is it possible to do that:

  • Run Wayland on the integrated gpu (igpu).
  • Run Wine/Proton on the discreet gpu (dgpu) and play games.
  • If you don't want to run wine, run (manually) a script that detaches the dgpu from the linux system and free it for vm pass-through usage.
  • Run Windows in a vm with the dgpu and play games.
  • Still have the option to switch on the fly to the linux system because it runs independently on the igpu. Both dgpu and igpu need to be connected separately to your monitor for that to work. Might need a KVM switch to well... switch mouse, keyboard and active display between linux and vm.
  • If you shutdown the vm run (manually) a script to detach the dgpu from vm pass-through and reattach it to the linux system for wine use.

In theory it should work but I read about errors on some AMD gpus (RX 5000 series? can't remember) that needed a system reboot every time you reattach them to the linux system again. I don't know if that bug still exists on more modern AMD gpus (RX 6000 & 7000 series)

What do you think? Is it possible? Are there showstoppers I'm unaware of?

It's so weird that elves are now the good guys. They were actually dream spirits that give you nightmares (engl. nightmare ≫ german Alptraum = elf dream). And no, they weren't described having otherworldly beauty.

It's also believed that nordic elves and dwarfs are the same beings in the Edda. The nordic word for elf is álfr which often is part of dwarf names.

In older times when in-game scenes weren't invented yet game studios often played Bink videos.

You need a licence for the codec meaning someone has to pay to play.

Das Zeug verwendet man unter anderem als Waffenöl, daher kommt auch der Name. Als Waffenöl nimmt man nicht irgendwas. Ich sprühe immer mein Quad damit ein. Das versiegelt die Oberfläche, schützt vor Rost und sollte mal irgendwo was abgeschabt werden, sorgt die Kriechfähigkeit dafür, dass die bloße Stelle bald wieder bedeckt ist. Tolles Zeug!

Weiterhin wurde das Zeug im ersten Weltkrieg auch als Wundschutz genommen. Abschürfung? Einfach Balistol drauf. Und nein, das war kein Witz.

WD40 ist eigentlich nur ein Wasserverdränger. Es hat nur ungenügende Schmiereigenschaften. Als Konservierungsmittel kann man es leider nicht verwenden, es bleibt nicht kleben. Zum Putzen ist es aber gut.

It's not about that.

If the game loop doesn't run at the same speed as the render loop you'll get 'tearing' - some game objects are at the latest state, some are not. That can cause some funky bugs.

Because it's easier to programm a single thread that executes a sequence of commands like [ update-gamelogic, update-graphics, etc. ] instead of at least 2 threads (for gamelogic and graphics) that you have to synchronize somehow. Synchronization can be pretty difficult!

Moin zusammen,

ich will mir demnächst Handschuhe besorgen.

Auf was achtet ihr, bevor ihr kauft? Habt ihr Empfehlungen?

I think it just doesn't free up any loaded texture if the VRAM size is large.

Works as designed.

Memory is there to be used. Why do you want to limit the usage? Do you need the memory elsewhere?

Is there a theme that imitates Windows 8/8.1 and its metro menu?

As the title said I'd like to have some sort of visual indication which comments and posts are made by me or mention me.

Yes I can look for my user name but that's not convenient. Maybe coloring the right border of my post in the current primary color is a good way to do that.

Manche Leute realisieren gar nicht, dass da ein Radweg ist oder verwechseln Rad- und Gehweg. Klingt komisch, ist aber so.

Es gibt auch einige, die sich unsicher fühlen (oder auch tatsächlich sind) und gerne so viel Abstand zu den Rändern haben wollen, wie nur möglich.

Und dann gibt es natürlich auch diejenigen, denen es wurscht ist, wen sie gerade gefährden. Da kann man sagen, was man will, die werden ihr Verhalten nicht ändern. 😐

I'm going to build a new gaming rig and am not sure which RAM to buy. I do want the best RAM available but I won't overclock it. Afaik the CPU will work best at DDR5-6000 and won't profit much from higher frequencies.

A lot of people recommend the G.Skill Ripjaws. I found these two: DDR5-6400, CL32-39-39-102 DDR5-6800, CL34-46-46-108

Those are kits but I'll probably only buy one module. 48 GB are enough for the next few years.

If I let them run at 6000 which one of them works best?

Xiaomi Mi 10T with LineageOS 19 (there's no v20 for it) I bought it because I needed a new one that supports 5G and didn't cost a fortune.

Next one might be a Fairphone 5 whenever it comes out. Or a Pixel with GrapheneOS.

I'm also interested in a mobile that runs Linux instead of Android (see PinePhone). But there're none that have good/current hardware.

Linux on Android (feddit.de)

I'm currently messing around with Termux and trying to install Linux through AnLinux, Andronix and UserLAnd just for fun.

I have mixed success in AnLinux. I successfully installed and started Lubuntu but it was running pretty slowly. I wasn't able to replicate the install a while later. Also I totally failed to get ArchLinux running.

Now I'm trying Andronix. Wish me luck!

Do you have any experience running a Linux on your mobile?

A lot of people just post a link but don't write their own thoughts.

I don't want to see these news 'bots' and request a setting to filter them. Maybe by ignoring all posts with less then 20 characters?
