This is very outdated.

  • Catalyst doesn’t exist anymore, it was replaced by AMDGPU-PRO years ago.
  • The Radeon Mesa driver (radeonsi) is generally faster than AMDGPU-PRO OpenGL for gaming, and has been for years. On the Vulkan side, performance is usually fairly close between the Mesa driver (RADV), AMDVLK and AMDGPU-PRO.
  • AMDGPU is just the kernel driver, which is used by both the Mesa drivers and AMDGPU-PRO, so why is it listed separately?
  • For Intel, I think the hardware was holding it back more than the driver, especially since they’ve replaced the classic Mesa drivers with Gallium based ones. But now they’re doing the Arc stuff.
  • I don’t know if I would say that Nvidia proprietary runs well

KDE already does have the same thing in its settings

When would this be triggered? Could it be used during kennel panics?

Yeah, that makes sense. So it’s for the situations where you end up in an emergency shell.

Some better presentation of kernel panic would be nice (which I think is the closest equivalent to a Windows BSoD), but I guess it would require kernel support.

ePub is basically just a limited HTML page in a zip file (plus a bunch of metadata and CSS styles), and ePub 3 can contain audio and video elements embedded in the text, just like a webpage. With the most basic usage, it would just show up as an audio player in the middle of the text, no sync. But there is also a media overlay thing I haven’t looked much into that looks like it provides sync.

New to Linux, have a few questions

I currently use Windows 10 and I’d like to try out Linux. My plan is to set up a dual boot with OpenSUSE tumbleweed and KDE Plasma. I’ve read so many different opinions about choosing a distro, compatibility with gaming and Nvidia drivers, and personal issues with the ethos of different companies like Canonical. I value...

That’s generally not a problem anymore with UEFI (unless the boot variables disappear for some reason).

AFAIK, they’re not known to be backdoored, only suspected

I was gonna suggest a shuttle, but then there’s all the shuttle crashes. I wonder which there’s more of.

What do you mean by “attach an audio to an image”?

That page doesn’t mention scrobbling

What’s so hard to read about that?

Huh, I guess must be something dependent on the client. On the web I can scroll horizontally in the code box instead:

I get horizontal scroll even if I view the post on lemmy.world though
