Isn’t nvk supposed to be a part of what nouveau provides like how RADV provides vulkan functionality for the AMDGPU driver.

https://lemmy.one/post/151466 - This post may help you with issues you face with launching steam.
I too have have an amd+amd laptop(MSI bravo 15 with 5600h+5500m) and I don’t have any issues with switching from integrated graphics to dedicated graphics. The kernel decides itself(with help from the program running I am guessing) whether the iGPU or dGPU needs to be used. I face absolutely no freezing issues or issues in general related to graphics switching.
What might be possibly causing your random freezes and stutters is the AMD fTPM. It’s random number generator function is known to cause stuttering and freezing on both windows and Linux. AMD made several futile attempts at solving the issue before Linus ranted about it and then AMD disabled the RNG functionality. But almost all these patches are part of kernel 6.x series so maybe they have not made it downstream to the lts kernel you are running on(not surprising considering how much of a burden it seems supporting old kernels is). If possible, you could disable fTPM from the bios and see if that fixes your general freezing issues. Though I have to warn you that TPM is needed for secure boot(I think) and is used by some password managers for secure password storage so you might lose functionality by turning off the fTPM. Moving to a more modern distro which uses a newer kernel(6.4.7 and above iirc) may also help.
Also out of curiosity, why is your GPU being shown as 5600 or 5600xt. I am assuming that you have a 5600m
Actually i dont think ubuntu or their derivatives are to blame here. The issues started after the big new ui update to steam. Somebody did raise the issue with valve and there is a thread on the bug but it seems they arent particularly interested in fixing the issue(maybe because it does not affect that many users?). Also once the command has been added, the experience should be just as smooth as normal. Why do you characterise it as just tolerable?
Please also mention that the reason the Nouveau is slow is not because of incompetence rather it is because nvidia only allows drivers signed by them to be able the change clocks of their GPUs(at least the fairly modern ones) and hence Nouveau can only run the GPU at base clock. This is being rectified now(after like almost a decade iirc) as nvidia is adding their proprietary firmware to the kernal which will then allow Nouveau to control the GPU clockspeed. Also NVK is being developed to provide vulkan support for nvidia GPUs through the open source driver(Nouveau)
Second point should have been evident even before embarking on the argument
Add DRI_PRIME=1 %command%
to the game’s launch option in steam. That will make the game run using the dGPU.
Also dont run steam using the dGPU. There is some bug in some ubuntu or ubuntu based amd+amd systems where the steam client crashes when opened with the dGPU. Open the client with the iGPU and use the command mentioned earlier to make the game run using the dGPU
Does steam take an eternity to launch or is it the game after steam has launched¿?
I sometimes use sync and other times voyager. In voyager and lemmy-ui, it is not a clickable link. In sync it is. I was looking for a way to have a clickable link in lemmy-ui
Weird. This works as a tag but doesn’t give a clickable link to the profile.
I use this but was unsure if people were actually getting tagged. Thanks kind stranger
Maybe use that information to try and influence the public in the same way that cambridge analytica did for the 2016 elections.
For translation you can use this. Since you can use Google translation service as the backend(?), it works as good as Google translate atleast in my experience
Good news about page translation, Firefox is adding it, and it’s all done locally too, no phoning home to their or somebody else’s translation servers.
Till then there is this open source extension which provides the same functionality including local offline translation
What I meant by gaps was that nuclear can be used in areas where solar or wind is not feasible yet or in areas where solar or wind cannot fulfill the energy demands.
Also we have very good control over nuclear power generation. There are a variety of methods using which we can control the reaction rate of the fission process
It does not necessarily take nuclear power plants that long to make. Japan built theirs in less than 5 years and France built the majority of their plants needing only 5-8 years per plant.
I am not sure when the narrative around nuclear power became nuclear energy vs renewables when it should be nuclear and renewables vs fossil fuels.
We need both nuclear and renewable energy where we try to use and develop renewables as much as possible while using nuclear energy to plug the gaps in the renewable energy supply
Still the environmental effect of the waste from nuclear energy is far less than the environmental effect of waste from fossil fuel
But I am also excited to see what Lawson can do. Guy has done well in everything expect F2 in which you can argue he was unlucky
My friends who took computer science told me that we don’t totally understand how machine learning algorithms work. Though this conversation was a few years ago in college. Will have to ask them again
Damn that’s a high quality image
When have fedora gone their own way ¿? What have they shipped that is not standard on Linux¿? Closest thing I can think is using selinux and firewalld instead of Apparmour and ufw.
