It will run Doom. Doesn’t matter what “it” is, someone will make it run Doom.
Probably not what you’re looking for, but you could make one yourself.
I’ve tried submitting recategorization requests through the links provided by my workplace on the block pages. The requests have been denied.
If I’m remembering right, it’s a Symantec web filtering solution that we use and they’ve decided that my domain is in the “personal blog” category. Which is a blocked category. Jeff Geerling’s website actually falls under the same category, which also kind of sucks, because I like reading some of the stuff he puts out.
pretty much the only reason I still use Plex is because I like to be able to watch stuff during downtime at work and plex.tv isn’t blocked on the work network while my private domain is.
And no, using a hotspot off my phone on a personal computer isn’t an option, both because the security requirements of my job site prevent us from using personal devices in the main area where I work and because the building itself is a massive concrete structure that blocks most cell signals.
OLED alone even without HDR adds a noticeable difference in contrast ratio. Meaning blacks look blacker even when right next to bright whites. HDR improves that, provided you have HDR content to enjoy.
An issue with some (much) older OLEDs was burn in, but at least in my experience, with more modern displays that seems to be much less of an issue. A lot of displays have a burn in reduction feature on board that seems to generally work well and the actual LEDs have gotten more durable as the tech has advanced.
I have an OLED display hooked up to an old rpi running my homeassistant control panel. It’s been displaying an essentially static image for nearly two years without any burn in.
Personally, I’d recommend an OLED monitor. If you can afford it, go for high resolution and high refresh rate. If you primarily watch video prioritize resolution, if you primarily game prioritize refresh rate. Though you may have issues going over 120Hz on Linux.
As for your DE, Mint should support KDE Plasma and you should be able install it like any other package. Might be worth looking up a guide for that. However, I won’t recommend against switching to Fedora. It’s what I use and I haven’t had any notable issues and their documentation seems pretty solid.
Basically the only games I want to play that have Denuvo currently are a handful of games published by ATLUS like Persona 5 the Royal and Metaphor: Refantazio.
I actually bought Metaphor, not realizing it had Denuvo, and then was just randomly unable to launch the game. After fiddling with some proton settings and reopening the game I got a very generic error message with a link to a website that told me I was locked out of the game for 24 hours.
I wound up returning the game.
PETG is very hygroscopic. It’s one of those filaments that you should dry before using every time. Even if it’s a freshly opened package.
Calibre cant natively strip DRM from ebooks, but there are third-party plugins for it that can and integrate pretty seamlessly into the process of adding the book to your library.
I used it to strip the DRM from all of my Amazon bought ebooks back before they removed the download option.
I can’t speak to the Quest support as I don’t have one, but my Index definitely had issues when I first switched to Linux fulltime. I had been dual-booting for about a year prior to that. But over the last year, it’s gotten better and most titles I’ve tried lately seem to just work the same way they did on Windows.
I do still have this persistent issue where my computer treats the headset as the primary display during bootup if have it plugged in, but that’s OS independent and starts at POST.
I’ve also seen some changelogs a while back suggesting Valve was trying to get OpenVR and SteamVR more compatible and make them both work better on Linux. I don’t know what issues you were having or how recently but it might be worth digging into again if it’s something you care about.
I honestly haven’t really noticed any major build quality issues. Just that the two separators on either side of the trackpad module don’t quite sit level with the trackpad module itself and if I’m being really nitpicky there’s slightly more deck flex in the keyboard than I like.
Other than those two things, the laptop is solid, at least under my usage patterns. If you were swapping IO modules frequently then I could see wear on the plastic edge of the modules and laptop body and maybe the usb-c connector itself potentially becoming an issue after a couple of years.
Been using a FW16 with fedora. It is pretty solid.
I’ll second that. I’ve been using Fedora KDE for almost a year as my sole desktop OS with no notable issues and really only one minor gripe. Which is that my 240Hz monitor gains a distracting flicker at 240Hz, but if I set it to 120Hz it goes away.
Violence is an answer in the same way alcohol is a solution. Both statements are only true in specific academic circles.
In BG3, violence is an effect and the cause is my genetics.
Might be a bit late on this, but ProxMox doesn’t really handle assigning threads to the e/p cores. That’s handled by the kernel and as long you’re running kernel version 6.1 or greater you should be good on that front.
If you really need to, you can also pin specific VMs to specific cores. So that if you’ve got something that always needs the performance it can always run on the p-cores and things that aren’t as demanding can always run on e-cores.
That said, especially if you’re over provisioning, it’s probably better to let the scheduler in the kernel handle thread assignments.
If I’m reading your example right, I don’t think that would satisfy three either. Three copies of the data on the same filesystem or even the same system doesn’t satisfy the “three backups” rule. Because the only thing you’re really protecting against is maybe user error. I.e. accidental deletion or modification. You’re not protecting against filesystem corruption or system failure.
For a (little bit hyperbolic) example, if you put the system that has your live data on it through a wood chipper, could you use one of the other copies to recover your critical data? If yes, it counts. If no, it doesn’t.
Snapshots have the same issue, because at the root a snapshot is just an additional copy of the data. There’s additional automation, deduplication, and other features baked into the snapshot process but it’s basically just a fancy copy function.
Edit: all of the above is also why the saying “RAID is not a backup” holds true.
I don’t think this meets the definition of 3-2-1. Which isn’t a problem if it meets your requirements. Hell, I do something similar for my stuff. I have my primary NAS backed up to a secondary NAS. Both have BTRFS snapshots enabled, but the secondary has a longer retention period for snapshots. (One month vs one week). Then I have my secondary NAS mirrored to a NAS at my friends house for an offsite backup.
This is more of a 4-1-1 format.
But 3-2-1 is supposed to be:
Three total copies of the data. Snapshots don’t count here, but the live data does.
On two different types of media. I.e. one backup on HDD and another on optical media or tape.
With at least one backup stored off site.
I can’t speak to AI performance, but given you’re stated goal of lower idle power consumption, I’d go with the 14900K, not the KS as you have listed.
Reason being the $250 price difference between the two, when the KS is just a slightly higher binning of the K with an additional 200MHz on the boost clocks. With that higher boost being something you’re unlikely to practically see without a substantial and robust cooling system, I don’t think it’s worth the extra money.
The reason I’d go with the K over the 10940X is the lower limit on it’s power consumption. The E cores are very efficient and can down clock substantially meaning it idles at really low power. The 10940X doesn’t have that benefit.
Beyond that, I’d say look at IPC, per thread, per max sustainable clock of each core, to get a general out look on performance.
Note: all of the above assumes we’re working within your listed options. My actual recommendation would be an AMD 7800x3d or 9800x3d.
Is there a link to the code? I know I could probably search for it, but if you’re going post about the code being public you could at least include a link to it.
I mean if that’s the case I’ll switch back to Windows just to remind Satya of what his company’s name truly means.
