Fair point, I should do that.

glxinfo | grep Vendor Vendor: Mesa (0xffffffff)

glxinfo | grep Device Device: llvmpipe (LLVM 17.0.6, 256 bits) (0xffffffff)

glxinfo | grep "OpenGL rend" OpenGL renderer string: llvmpipe (LLVM 17.0.6, 256 bits)

Let me know if that's not right. glxinfo dumps a lot of text but those are the only hits for your comment.

When I launch radeontop it prints this before launching, and then the output suggests it isn't working:

Unknown Radeon card. <= R500 won't work, new cards might.

All stats sit at 0.00% except for Memory Clock @ 9%.

EDIT:

xorg, not wayland

Well for starters, my Wacom tablets drawing pen's eraser sometimes stops working until I restart my machine. How can I restart the service for this without restarting my machine? How can I identify what service that is? How can I debug the error to prevent it in the future?

This is a helpful tip, thanks

Way ahead of you but that only scratches the surface of Linux. I've got a docker compose stack with a bunch of services, DNS and reverse proxies... But that doesn't teach me about the internals on my workstation

Thanks for the tip on phoronix, I'll look into this.

I probably will :) but some baselineing would be nice too

While I'm usually a hands on type of learner, usually these days I find my time pretty limited and that's why I'm looking for a reading approach. I absolutely want to up a machine with arch, there's no doubt it will teach me many things. I've got a lot of items on my 'to learn' list though and was looking for a more passive approach I can fit between other tasks away from my machine

I love the elites shape and button layout but again, they seem to break a lot for such a "premium" product. I'll take a look at 8bitdo, hadn't heard of them :)

Yeah looks like Sony is the way to go. Very happy about native Linux support

Very happy about native Linux support, that might be my deciding factor :)

Yeah the duelshocks look nice. A little pricy but Sony seems to make nice, durable things. I'm happy with my headphones which pushes me towards these
