The ultimate goal of the WIneHQ team is to have their own fully DX12 implementation. The reason why vkd3d-proton exists is that Valve didn’t want to wait for it to mature and AFAIK they did have differences in what should be included in vkd3d. Which is why they don’t work on the same project.

I’m pretty sure vkd3d-proton does not rebase from vkd3d.

@[email protected] I’ve found this (scroll down to #5 if it won’t scroll automatically). It shows some tools that can be used to change DMI information for different Manufacturers.

This is part of the motherboard and can only be changed with specific tools from the manufacturer. Back in the days there was AMIDEDOS as a dos tool to change it in AMI Bios. You would need to find out, what tool can be used to change it in your UEFI. However, it’s possible that those tools are not available to the public.

I don’t know if it’s random, the CPU scheduler still decides what thread to use. It will have its own semantics, but I don’t know on what those are based.

It’s not just random, it simply does not even work. Because they set this:

+/*Preferred Core featue is supported*/
+static bool prefcore = true;

And later in the code they do the if condition wrong:

+	if (prefcore)
+		WRITE_ONCE(cpudata->highest_perf, AMD_PSTATE_PREFCORE_THRESHOLD);
+	else
+		WRITE_ONCE(cpudata->highest_perf, AMD_CPPC_HIGHEST_PERF(cap1));

if should look like this:

+	if (prefcore)
+		WRITE_ONCE(cpudata->highest_perf, AMD_CPPC_HIGHEST_PERF(cap1));
+	else
+		WRITE_ONCE(cpudata->highest_perf, AMD_PSTATE_PREFCORE_THRESHOLD);

There is probably even more wrong, looking at the code quality, but this at least makes the preferred core work.

AMD patches for preferred core (prefer those cores which can clock higher) are a mess and ended up not working because of a wrong if condition. Showing that no one at AMD even tested it before submitting. The programmer in the video complains about AMDs developers being incompetent and shows how it’s fixed.

Yes, it is the same purpose, kinda. But timeshift runs as a cron and allows for an easy rollback, while I use BIT for manual backups.

I use Back In Time to backup my important data on an external drive. And for snapshots I use timeshift.

I’ve never had that issue that deleted ISOs would stay on the USB, not sure how you’ve managed to achieve that. Maybe you didn’t actually delete the files but put them to the recycle bin?

I use the Logitech G Pro X. It comes with a USB audio dongle and 3.5 jack as well, so it can be used without the USB dongle. Works out of the box on Linux and I can control the side tone with headsetcontrol.

Why should they even package it at all? Just distribute the source code and let the distributors handle it themselves.

I use Stable Diffusion with ROCm on Linux. Works great and no need to install the big bloat ROCm from the package manager. I’ve written an installation guide for Arch, but with little changes it should work on other distributions as well: https://gist.github.com/NoXPhasma/ba42b615c0ed1cb0c2b3a4a1b359ccf7
