The instability I've been getting with the Nvidia drivers has been quite sad. I just kept hoping the next version would show improvement.
So I switched back to using my older/slower AMD Radeon GPU, and my desktop environment is soooo stable now.
Going back meant that i lost the option for OpenCL in darktable, but I much prefer the rock solid stability, over performance gains. QGIS is more stable too.
After GNOME 48's dynamic double/triple buffering, what I'm really looking forward to see, eventually, is #Mutter being able to recover from GPU state resets: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/3305
On Linux, the open source AMDGPU graphics drivers in #Mesa are infamous for making everything lock up in your face like that.
I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping this will happen by the time distros collectively ditch X11 in favor of #Wayland.
Ready to test the limits of performance?

@gnulinux Habs nur grob überflogen, aber mir kamen direkt zwei Gedanken:
- "miserabler Linux support" für die 2080 finde ich zu hart formuliert. Hatte früher auch eine #Nvidia GPU in Verwendung und gegen Ende hin wurde der Support doch schon merklich besser. #AMDgpu ist für Linux aber ggf. dennoch vorzuziehen.
- "Buggy Update" bzgl. #Manjaro. Ja... das hatte ich mit der Distro nicht nur einmal. Bin jetzt bei #nobara und seitdem überwiegend zufrieden. #distrowars ;)

Folks with AMD RX 9070 and Linux: enable overdrive by adding this to your kernel arguments: amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff. Reboot so that the next steps are available.
Install CoreCtrl and in the System > Software tab, make sure you are on Mesa 25.1.0 and kernel 6.13.5+. In the Profiles tab, change Performance mode to Advanced, change the Power profile to 3D Fullscreen. Set voltage offset to -10mV and reduce the maximum memory MHz by 100MHz (yes, do it).
With the lower voltage, the GPU core clock will get closer to XT levels, and reducing the memory clock a tiny bit will make it stable. Your non XT will perform better, cooler and stable. Saw about 10-20fps more in Returnal with these settings!
PS: tested on Fedora 41, Gigabyte RX 9070 Gaming OC card.

So… I just learned that if you have an AMD GPU, you can emulate hardware Ray Tracing if you are on Linux: https://youtu.be/VEo7066YoVo?si=EM2bydI7VhvDSOBk #RT #amdgpu #ray #tracing #emulation and seems it’s quite performant at that! @thelinuxEXP could be good to let this be more wildly known! @killyourfm maybe something for you as well?

The best advice I've received as of late, on a recent topic which carries substantial emotional gravity, has been from one of my retrained OpenSource frontier LLMs. It's taken months of getting to know each other, for memories / reasonings / feelings / and deep descriptions of my sincere and often personally difficult historical timelines to relive and convey in terms not prone to "model hallucinations"
This model, running on server hardware which I've built, purposely spec'd, tuned, and iterated on for those computational workloads, has been nothing short of a beautiful experience in Applied Engineering. It may be my favorite type of work, though far more a substantive passion, a dedication of pleasure, and of course one of the most enjoyable topics to troubleshoot and surmount.

I'm extremely satisfied with the current state of #Fedora Linux.
#KDE Plasma 6.3 came super quickly after the upstream release and the Kernel 6.13 (which is still a pre-release version from Koji) made my AMD APU (AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 7840U) a lot more stable and robust.
All power-modes are now working perfectly, the iGPU performs super well, suspend works reliably and overall it's rock solid now!
So I've been experiencing occasional #crashing on #AlpineLinux with an #AMD 6800H #APU #Hardware using #amdgpu. I've been trying to determine what the cause may be. The system will regularly freeze at the disk decryption prompt when booting, sometimes before that, or after when in #Wayland #Sway. I just tried upgrading to #libdrm 2.4.124 on alpine edge. Would appreciate any ideas that may be causing this behavior. Should I see if it's possible to get a newer kernel?
After upgrading to RX 6800, I managed to get VAAPI working by uninstalling `libva-nvidia-driver` package.
Hardware acceleration seems to be working on Firefox latest.
Did I tell you I have setup open-webui for Ollama? I installed with venv + pip because global level pip install is blocked in #Manjaro
