• Yeah. So I guess the next question for me is, does that mean that FSR four is going to be exclusive to,

• look, I would say it’s right now it has to be because of what I just said. It requires a lot of compute to be able to generate the pixels.

Just confirmed that at least on launch it will be RDNA4 exclusive. I just hope it can run on other hardware even if it is a dedicated NPU in mobile chips.

The sum of those percentages is 87.5%. So what’s the rest, maybe import from France or Norway?

That’s a very old video format, which is definitely not HDR.

Some GPUs support the MPEG4 codec maybe try updating the driver. Did you try turning on or off Hardware acceleration for the transcodig?

Navigate to a problematic movie or episode -> 3 dots -> Get info -> right column -> Color space

Usually SDR is bt709 and HDR is bt2020. In older codecs (h264) 10 or 12 bit color depth can also cause issues.

I’m not sure how tone mapping works on plex since I don’t have a pass but with Jellyfin you need to setup OpenCL which is run on the GPU so your guess that a hardware change can break it is plausible.

green tinge to them

Are you sure it’s corrupted and not an unsupported HDR color format?

Corrupted files usually skip frames or get blocking and ghosting errors.

Thanks for the links! I updated my config from z3fold to zsmalloc and adjusted the vm.page-cluster to test these out.

Reading a bit more, I think when using large max_pool_percent (>30) with Zswap the two solutions are more similar than not. A crucial difference is what use-case is more acceptable since Zswap can cause unresponsiveness (and potential lockup) under high memory pressure. While Zram could result in an OOM crash in a similar worst-case scenario.

Stormgate

It’s like 90% StarCraft 2 and 10% Warcraft 3. The competitive RTS part is promising but it didn’t show me anything new. Depending on the lore and campaign it may get more interesting, so far it’s neutral.

Millennia

It starts very similarly to Civ 6 with even more kinds of resources. The current version of the UI seemed confusing and the poor performance (on linux) stopped me from finishing the demo.

Btrfs with compression enabled and subvolumes set.

And enable/automate maintenance services for BTRFS. For example: balace should be run on heavily used system disks or scrub could help detect errors even on single disks.

ZRAM (With proper sysctl.conf like PopOS does).

Could you explain the preference of ZRAM over ZSWAP? I thought the latter was the more advanced and better performing solution. Is there some magic in Pop’s config?

Happy to help! Tough you are right, this is a rather generic error that doesn’t help much just confirms that the GPU is the issue.

At this point it could be a driver issue since there are similar open bug reports. A hardware problem is still possible since you previously said that it’s unstable on windows too, and power related issues can also lead to this error message.

Most distros use systemd and its logging solution: journald. You can use journalctl to read the logs around the time of the crash for e.g.:

• journalctl -S -5m this shows the last 5 minutes. Use this when a game crashes but the system continues working and did not reboot.
• journalctl -b -1 -S -10m this shows the last 10 minutes from the previous boot. Use this if the crash froze the whole system and rebooted.

Look for red lines (errors) and what wrote them. AMD GPU faults usually have the ‘amdgpu’ mentioned, memory errors could appear as ‘protection fault’.

Did you check the system logs to see what caused it?

Many things can result in seemingliy random crashes. Any overclock (including XMP and Expo) or undervolt or even a bios version can be problematic.

I would check first if it’s stable on windows.

What filesystem are you using? Is it encrypted?

Could you run a benchmark to verify if reads and writes are both affected? KDiskMark is like crystaldiskmark or Gnome Disks has a built in benchmark.

He’s looking for quite recent Amd based laptops which all support win 11, so I would actually expect the prices to increase with the higher demand.

No, there isn’t any more risk buying a mining card than any other used card. In both cases you should use a platform/marketplace with buyer protection options. Maybe one additional step is checking the VBIOS when testing.

The non XT is the best value of the 6600 family but depending on local pricing the 6600XT, 6650XT and even the 7600 could make sense. Just keep in mind that these are the same performance class. Some charts show the mentioned GPUs.

There are some used options e.g. 5700 XT-s are really cheap because many of them were mining card. For new cards there aren’t many options RX 6600 has relatively good value, but it’s only worth it if efficiency or features like hw video codecs are important for you.

Many are already mentioned but there is a lack of SoL and KyoAni shows so these are what I missed:

• Shirobako
• Hibike! Euphonium
• Hyouka
• Hanasaku Iroha

Filesystem permissions

For many apps it is not an issue and provides additional security but in other cases it’s very annoying and not trivial to fix.

Example1: opening a .docx from Thunderbird flatpak with OnlyOffice flatpak does not work out of the box.

Example2: mpv and VLC flatpaks work well for local files, but fail to open network shares from Dolphin.

I think a possible solution would be runtime permission dialogs when denied access.
