In my experience with them, MSI laptops tend to run quite hot in general, your OS probably isn't going to fix it. You can try one of those laptop cooling plates, basically a mesh platform with fans, ensuring cool air is always available to the laptop intakes, but it isn't exactly a perfect solution.
Really it just needs more cooling capacity - they seem to cut razor close to the amount needed in their designs so when eventually cooling becomes less efficient either through fans getting tired/clogged or thermal paste/pads breaking down, it will not keep up.
I just got into wayfire after using Hyprland and nobody prepared me for the cylinder. I will open windows and wait for the screensaver just to see the rotating cylinder. So much better than the cube
If you receive these notifications on mobile, you can use kdeconnect (gsconnect on GNOME) which sends pop up notifications on your desktop from your phone, as a workaround.
Yes (kinda), that is a screenshot of one of the example compositors I included called “louvre-views” which implements server side decorations for apps that support the XDG Decoration protocol.
Title bullshit, we have multicore machine for years, I can guarantee you this had about no impact else people running Xeon or Threadripper would have saw it at first try 15 years ago.
This looks like to have an impact on the scheduler but not on how many cores are used.
I agree. Some of the Linux servers I used to run at work in the early 00’s were 12 to 16 core monsters (for the time) and the kernel didn’t even blink.
Instead of guessing, looking at the log might help. Launch the game with PROTON_LOG=1 %command% set in “Set Launch Options” setting in the game properties. The log file will appear on your home directory.
Magica is claiming an issue with VCRedist, Orcs Must Die 2 doesn’t close on its own so no log, Serious sams and painkiller don’t show any problems. The rest isn’t using proton.
It’s a long shot, but sometimes when I have issues with proton which I can’t figure out, switching from Wayland to X11 (or vice versa) magically fixed it.
There’s a variable that contains the number of cores (called cpus) which is hardcoded to max out at 8, but it doesn’t mean that cores aren’t utilized beyond 8 cores–it just means that the scheduling scaling factor will not change in either the linear or logarithmic case once you go above that number:
code snippet/* * Increase the granularity value when there are more CPUs, * because with more CPUs the ‘effective latency’ as visible * to users decreases. But the relationship is not linear, * so pick a second-best guess by going with the log2 of the * number of CPUs. * * This idea comes from the SD scheduler of Con Kolivas: */ static unsigned int get_update_sysctl_factor(void) { unsigned int cpus = min_t(unsigned int, num_online_cpus(), 8); unsigned int factor; switch (sysctl_sched_tunable_scaling) { case SCHED_TUNABLESCALING_NONE: factor = 1; break; case SCHED_TUNABLESCALING_LINEAR: factor = cpus; break; case SCHED_TUNABLESCALING_LOG: default: factor = 1 + ilog2(cpus); break; } return factor; }
The core claim is this:
It’s problematic that the kernel was hardcoded to a maximum of 8 cores (scaling factor of 4). It can’t be good to reschedule hundreds of tasks every few milliseconds, maybe on a different core, maybe on a different die. It can’t be good for performance and cache locality.
On this point, I have no idea (hope someone more knowledgeable will weigh in). But I’d say the headline is misleading at best.
Cant you cramp up the fancourve? Best is in the BIOS as it mostly works best. Also have a look at using liquid metal for cooling, costs nearly nothing. Or simply new good heatpaste, costs like 8€
Keep an eye on thermals with s-tui. You could down-throttle the processor with tlp. At some point you’ll probably have to deal with the thermal-transfer pad being bad or whatever, that is never a fun job on a laptop.
AMD platform support is coming to coreboot in the next few years, consumer platforms much later and even there I’m doubtful it’d come to your laptop in particular.
Get a Frame.work with Intel chip if you want coreboot on a modern laptop soon-ish. I know the guy working on that port ;)
Heard of that, because you know, a core Duo was a thing. They didnt think anything bigger was possible, some time in the past. But afaik thats pretty old news
