A 5080 for 1440p?

[quaint helm]

more than enough-fps no point for upscalled 4k at 40-60 fps

[spare relic]

My juan can easily get 4k 120 with that

[keen quest]

[keen quest]

Why would you want upscaled

[quaint helm]

its the basic minimum nowdays 🤣

take his vid as example (7700x will get like 3-5% more BCUS I CANT FIND A 7700X + 5080 VID AS EXAMPLE)

[rapid lake]

Y no x3D

[quaint helm]

if x3d then have to downgrade to 70ti

o wait might as well downgrade to 70ti and save 200 bucks

[snow fiber]

Imagine using windows 11 , couldn't be me

[nova steppe]

[boreal oxide]

thanks will do

but I wish for full desktop control

steamlink lags way too much compare to sunshine host server and moonlight client

hahahahah seems the new gens rather kde

old gens rather gnome

[boreal oxide]

ah full linux too or wndow 10?

[snow fiber]

Dual boot arch and win 10

[snow fiber]

Even in lan connection?

[boreal oxide]

does arch have gnome?

[snow fiber]

Arch has everything

[boreal oxide]

only have access to lan for one device

[snow fiber]

How did you set that up

[boreal oxide]

just installed steam link on windows (host)

the use steam link on linux debian

gonna try Arch

havent found how to install yet

a bit tougher to me

didnt see a gui install interface

[snow fiber]

You mean the old gen would prefer gnome or something like that
Or gnome is old gen

[boreal oxide]

ha i think both

correct me if I'm wrong

Im still a Linux baby

[snow fiber]

Bit easy for a fresh install with "archinstall" script which comes with the iso. I prefer using manual method in case of dual boot

[boreal oxide]

ah I see

gonna watch a tut no owrries

how to install arch with gnome

[snow fiber]

You can refer to the arch wiki, it's the best source

[boreal oxide]

ah I see

[snow fiber]

Why not kde

[boreal oxide]

ahahah not a fan of start menu

[snow fiber]

You can do some customisation or be lazy like me.

[boreal oxide]

hmmm ahahah really digging gnome style

think that's gonna be my preference

[snow fiber]

Btw how did you try to install sunshine , was it with flatpak/snap/homebrew/docker?

[boreal oxide]

I used .deb file to install

it isntalled via my debian

but it wont open

[quaint helm]

that protection.....

[snow fiber]

Have you tried using it with dpkg command

sudo dpkg -i ./sunshine-{distro}-{distro-version}-{arch}.deb

Replace file name with the file you install

[snow fiber]

Probably did more damage than helping it

[boreal oxide]

it installs

but doesnt open

so I assume its a driver I need thats missing somewhere

@snow fiber I mainly needed it for remote access

but I just learnt a new tool

Remmina

so that all I needed for to Linux to Linux

so going forward I will just use Sunshin and mootlight for only gaming

[snow fiber]

It's hard to say anything without error logs

[snow fiber]

Just curious how does your setup looks?
Like how many devices and how do you want them to use

[boreal oxide]

thanks for reminding me

I'm yet to learn this one

yesterday I got this book

so only started a few reading to understand the true meaning of Linux

and how to use it indepth too and and expert

so I haven't reach you skill set in Linux yet

still a Linux baby

I learn better with acutual books than a digital tut

its a updated top Linux book

2025 release

[boreal oxide]

she's thick

shipped it in from USA to the Caribbean

[snow fiber]

you are a dedicated linux user, you will learn a lot of things just by messing around in the user space

[boreal oxide]

ahahah yeah

wanna become an official software dev

ha thanks!

[boreal oxide]

thats how I first became a semi good end user of linux

[snow fiber]

Good luck

[boreal oxide]

now I want to be a dv

hahahaha

I broke my linux twice already

ahahahahah

was doing some Kali Linux too thats why

then who told me to use the og arch linux

ahahahah didnt even know how to get back terminal on day 1

but got the hang of it after

[snow fiber]

So you do use arch linux

Or atleast tried it

[boreal oxide]

hahahaha very bit not that much

only tried

since last year I've been using termianl from day one using debian

an kali

Fedora seems way to easy so I dropped it

[snow fiber]

[boreal oxide]

I even manage to get an unofficial driver work on Linux

from a Wifi adapter that only had a windows driver

[snow fiber]

Even if the wifi adaptor doesn't get native support from the company , the linux community usually gets the things done by making unofficial driver

[boreal oxide]

ah I see

thats why I decided to go with debian since it servers is in most devices we use each day

[snow fiber]

Debian usually doesn't get updates for a while. Since their whole thing is just stability

i don't think I got a driver issue in arch

[boreal oxide]

ah I now see why

right

book said that too

ahahah book explains the other distros too

I will use quemu and virt to test arc again

before I break my main os again

[snow fiber]

Should be easy in vm, if you follow steps in arch wiki

Will be slightly harder in actual hardware

[boreal oxide]

yeah for sure

[junior flax]

hwmonitor hacked

:O

[brave field]

HWiNFO supremacy

some article authors are, of course, claiming HWiNFO was the one that was hacked, because the malicious file had both names on it

[civic cloud]

Wait do I need to delete my hwmonitor now

[upbeat spade]

this only affected hwmonitor's website

if you downloaded hwmonitor within the past day, you should take protective actions

otherwise, no

i don't believe hwmonitor or gpu-z ever connect to the internet or updated without requiring you to go back to the website and download a new installer, so any existing versions you have won't be compromised retroactively

all that happened was that the download links were switched with malicious files

[civic cloud]

[quartz kayak]

What about the am4 platform 3d

[quaint helm]

no news for am4 3d chip

[quartz kayak]

WHY

[quaint helm]

last one iirc is release of 5500 x3d thats all lol

[snow fiber]

am4 is a 10 year old chipset. they still make cpus for it is a suprising thing on its own

[quaint helm]

am4 still alive bcus of dr5 shit price

[snow fiber]

ddr4 price has also increased a lot, people dont want to buy pc rn.
maybe amd is trying to help it to boost the sales and help the community

[sharp falcon]

Yup, my bluetooth pressed alt f4 or something, Nothing can connect and I can't find it in quick settings either. I checked device manager and did some stuff but yeah nothing..

[twin badger]

Merely just getting rid of old leftover silicon stock

[snow fiber]

Does your bluetooth adapter shows up in the device manager?

[snow fiber]

They don't manufacture their own chips tho, i don't think it makes sense in this context , they are also paying for the R&D for the am4 chips , although they will make it back with the sales revenue

[quaint helm]

imagine lisa say she gonna continue the am4 batch with newer x3d2 chip lol or even 5X50x3d/5X50x3d2 chip 🤣

[quaint helm]

why is the screenshot so dark

[snow fiber]

Is this supposed to be ram flex?

[icy wagon]

nah its to show my fuckin cpu bottle neck

ram prices got mf feinen

[quaint helm]

[snow fiber]

[quaint helm]

not sure does hybrid mobo exist back then can spport dr3 + dr4

[snow fiber]

[snow fiber]

Amateur numbers

[grand hedge]

Ngl true

I’ve played with Linux when I was younger and steam os

[icy wagon]

i have a bad memory lemme find it

[snow fiber]

Probably not steam os? Or do you have steam deck?

[icy wagon]

i think it was pop! os

[grand hedge]

No I just had old computers I would throw steam os on for shits and giggles

[snow fiber]

don't think there is a steam os for desktops tho

[grand hedge]

There was back in 2018

[icy wagon]

i heard it was easy

[snow fiber]

Pro tip,
Updating system usually fix most of the issues

[grand hedge]

Yea steam os came out on 2013

[snow fiber]

I can't recall any honestly

[grand hedge]

I was playing with it in 2018

[snow fiber]

[grand hedge]

It isn’t big that’s probably why vs Linux

It did makes sense tho turn your pc into a console type ordeal

[snow fiber]

I have to look into it honestly, i can't remember the existence of steam os

[grand hedge]

Legit gang

20

[grand hedge]

True I heard they did some cool things with duel os

You can run steam os and windows on the same computer

[snow fiber]

I was reading about it, it gave me some insights.
The original steam os (2013) was based on debian linux but it had limited gaming compatibility due to most games mostly only supporting windows and not having proton/wine led to the downfall of the steam machine

[grand hedge]

Facts yea that’s right I remember reading that too long ago

[quaint helm]

i just realise ur pfp is kirkify

[snow fiber]

The newer steam os is pretty much a own thing on its own, it's based on arch linux and it's supported for only handheld at the time

[grand hedge]

Maybe socket for your charger or socket on your laptop damaged?

You gotta test if charger gets electricity.

If it works, then laptop charger socket might be broken too. Lastly, battery

usually when i plug in the charger on my laptop there is a little orange light that comes on by the charging port on my laptop

I don't know if the ports damaged

The batteries were working the last time I used it

[wary pawn]

Charger might be damaged/broken too.

[compact sierra]

I might have to take it too a technician to get it fixed

[wary pawn]

Let them check if it is getting electricity.

If it is, then socket or battery died.

But since you can’t see the light, it is socket or charger issue.

I believe even batteries die, laptops tend to work.

[compact sierra]

I've been trying to figure out what's wrong with it all day but I'll take it to a shop to get it looked at

I don't think it costs anything for them to check it

[wary pawn]

They usually test for free.

[compact sierra]

I know the charger and battery worked last time I had used it so it's more likely to be a charging port problem

These ports can get damaged far more easily then other ports

I'll have the shop test it and run a diagnostic test on the laptop to see what's wrong

[wary pawn]

Which kind of socket is that?

[compact sierra]

It's USB C

[wary pawn]

Hmm. Probably socket then.

[compact sierra]

Is it expensive to repair?

[wary pawn]

Depends on brand and model.

Warranty finished? How old it is?

[compact sierra]

It's a Lenovo Thinkpad T480 with a Intel i5 8th gen CPU

I don't think it still has warranty left on it

I think it's an old laptop

anyone here think iphones are inherently better than androids

[gaunt topaz]

depends on what you find "better".. I suppose if you take general public then iPhones are pretty nice. Basically that is just works, integrates well, etc.
But then Androids are still more open (for now-) in terms of (custom) apps, modding, ecosystem, etc.

In the end it just depends on whatever you prefer (or you're used to)

[nova steppe]

The deadline on that "for now" is looming and getting closer

[civic cloud]

[winter hearth]

hello everyone what do I do if my HDMI isn't working I've wiggled it around plenty already

[nova steppe]

Define "isn't working"
Is it with your PlayStation or something else?
Have you tried a different port on the TV/monitor?
Have you tried another cable?

Someone else will be around to assist with these questions answered

[winter hearth]

With the playstation

guys, why does firefox not support HDR on yt

[lost fossil]

there are some other ways in which firefox gets scammed because some people only optimize for chromium and it's kinda sad

[civic cloud]

Yeah I also use Firefox on my phone and man

It's rough sometimes

[rapid lake]

what does this nerd shit mean

[civic cloud]

wdym you don't understand

[rapid lake]

use opera gx like a real gamer

[civic cloud]

No I'm just watching HDR videos on my TV to remind myself how awesome it is

Do you know if the basic sub on crunchy roll supports HDR @lost fossil

[lost fossil]

open website
has a button that you actually visited that website to press
you press on it and it doesn't fucking do anything
open the same website in chrome
button works

[lost fossil]

risk feeling awkward and go ask in #anime-manga bc there are some ppl there who use crunchyroll

i don't

[civic cloud]

I do not wish to talk with the degens

You seem fairly normal for a weeb

Internet says no HDR and max 1080p

Hm

[nova steppe]

How do you watch? Something plugged into the TV or smart TV app?

[civic cloud]

Both is possible, got the PC hooked up and it's a smart TV with all the apps

https://youtu.be/1MieluM0c6c?is=BCTDcHNUD8gahTN5

I've watched this like 30 times

so good

[nova steppe]

I think my sister has the basic subscription, and I've never seen an hdr option in the smart TV app

[civic cloud]

😔

Thank you for your input

[rapid lake]

I feel like everyone looking for HDR content doesn’t necessarily see the difference or highly prefer it over non-HDR but they just wanna get what they paid for lol

And it’s still very limited, the content

Personally HDR burns my eyeballs, I use everything on very low brightness

[civic cloud]

There definitely is a difference and yeah I want to get what I paid for lol

It's a shame you don't live next to me so we could share netflix </3

[rapid lake]

I paused my netflix sub instead of cancelling now i got charged $10 even though I'm not using it anymore

guaranteed I'm gonna forget to cancel again next month

[civic cloud]

lmao what

[rapid lake]

There’s a feature called pausing

Basically you skip a month on your billing cycle

[thin turtle]

hi

[civic cloud]

The monitor is not even close to the TV brightness

multiple 5080 noctua will do the job

wait a min......why is the stock case fan combined together.....ewwww

[compact sierra]

should i switch to linux from windows?

[cold elbow]

[cold elbow]

this case design reminds me of brainrot for some reason

its dual chamber but not really
floating design but not really
good airflow but not really

why the bottom is even a sheet metal then glass infront of it????????

[lost fossil]

design

[quaint helm]

i think there gonna be turbulence when bottom fan is exhaust

[cold elbow]

intake and exhaust will generate turbulence noise and that is why i said the airflow is "not really"

[quaint helm]

so sony have headset , mouse , keyboard , now monitor? 💀

[snow fiber]

You could dual boot if you wish

[compact sierra]

is it easy to setup a computer to dual boot?

[snow fiber]

It's easy , you need to consider some things and need some knowledge about what you are doing

[compact sierra]

is it possible to brick the pc if you do it wrong?

[snow fiber]

Like disabling fast boot/hibernation in both bios and windows and then disable secure boot in bios so you can boot linux from installation medium

[snow fiber]

Not possible

No matter how hard you mess up , you can never brick your system

would recommend you to backup your important files of windows tho

[rapid lake]

What if you play some games that require secure boot

[snow fiber]

Sbctl

No games i have heard requires secure boot, it's pretty dumb if they require

[civic cloud]

Sony monitor was a thing last year already

[wary pawn]

I had Windows 7 + Ubuntu on my laptop. Was using GRUB to manage boot.

After some point, i got rid of Ubuntu but Windows went asshole mode. Used "boot repair cd" to fix boot options.

[civic cloud]

Battlefield 6

[snow fiber]

Using separate efi partition for windows and ubuntu would have saved you from this hassle

[wary pawn]

I didn’t know at the time.

[snow fiber]

I once removed my windows efi partition because it got corrupted because of me messing around with it
Had to use installation media to repair and reinstall efi files

No backup btw

All or nothing situation

[wary pawn]

[snow fiber]

That's pretty scummy ngl

The game is not supported on Linux according to protondb.
You can also just enable secure boot and load into windows whenever you feel like playing battlefield 6

[civic cloud]

"no support for Linux" is true for like...all online competitive games, no?

[snow fiber]

No?

It's just the companies don't want to support the linux , they use anti cheat and deliberately gives no access to the linux .
Like the gta v stopped access to linux because they don't want to.
BattlEye is fully capable of supporting linux

I was playing ark few months ago in linux which had BattlEye anti cheat btw

[civic cloud]

...ok but in the end the statement "most online competitive games aren't supported on Linux " is true

No matter the reason

[snow fiber]

I don't play competitive games , so I can't look up the games you are referring to.
You can always check on protondb if your game is supported or not

Like CS2 is supported on Linux , i suppose it's a competitive game

[lost fossil]

fuck sony tho

[cold elbow]

Helldivers 2 is supported on linux

laptop SKIN?

[nova steppe]

The only manufacturer I know is dbrand, so you can start there

[snow rover]

there are many of them now

i like dbrand though

previous skin was still pretty much immaculate when i retired that phone

[nova steppe]

The skin on my S21+ is kinda "short," as it partially obscures the flash and it doesn't reach the bottom edge of my phone

[quaint helm]

the glow in dark circuit board one?

[snow rover]

huh

[nova steppe]

And it took a few years of humidity and pocket stowage before the edge by the camera finally started to peel

[compact mica]

any opinions?

[snow rover]

seems very expensive for a 9060 xt

[spare relic]

Debate on vsync we have to use vsync to lock our fps to our refresh rate. Not using vsync is like driving a car without shifting having the car at 100% usage at all times

[near mountain]

i dunno but I just know without it, screen tearing becomes common and annoying so I just keep it on

my refresh rate is 240, I dont need a framerate higher

[compact mica]

2400 PLN (600~USD)

[quaint helm]

9060xt should be around 1200-1500pln (i think)

[spare relic]

And it helps your gpu to breathe @thin turtle debate

[compact mica]

8GB yes

the 16gb starts at like 2000 the store im shopping from

[thin turtle]

I will call you names if you keep acting dumb

[snow fiber]

[cold elbow]

It's better to lock your fps than enabling vsync and you will get lower latency.
It's basically like enabling antilag

is the latest with me Linux life: I first started 2024 to Ubuntu, Q4 of 2024 to Debian, then 2025 to Fedora then back to Debian, now want to become an expert level so now leraning on Arch Linux is 2026

I still love GNOME tho hahaha

[thin turtle]

ubuntu mention 🗣️

[quaint helm]

youbuntoo

[spare relic]

Yup so we use vsync to fix this right?

It keeps the gpu silent and cool too

[snow rover]

it's not a good fix though

[thin turtle]

this user is comparing vsync to a car transmission

how

[quaint helm]

gpu must produce sound

[thin turtle]

idk where to start

but this analogy hurt me

a car transmission does not limit the engine power

the car is always at "100%" as you call it

[thin turtle]

maybe the distribution does not matter

[snow fiber]

probably does , depends on what you want to achieve

[thin turtle]

wait these are not synonyms

[thin turtle]

it's all code

ROS stands for Robot Operating System

[snow fiber]

Yeah just googled it

[thin turtle]

it can use both Python and C++ simultaneously

so it is easy to optimise where necessary

[spare relic]

With vsync + frame gen

[spare relic]

60-74 latency

[snow fiber]

Was reading about it , it's pretty interesting.
Not in my expertise, the framework is good for anyone messing around with robots, sensors and stuff.
It's like a nervous system off the looks of it

[thin turtle]

Better say that we won't meet again

[thin turtle]

no I'm just not willing to engage in arguments where I can't even get to communicate my ideas clearly

omg

why did you call me buddy then

[rapid lake]

[civic cloud]

okokokokok

can you come over so we can watch HDR Netflix

honestly i might just use the AutoHDR feature

[rapid lake]

So you bought netflix?

[civic cloud]

i have the ad tier for 5 bucks

[rapid lake]

I remember you didn't want to buy it or something

[rapid lake]

Huh

And that has 4k HDR?

[sterile cliff]

Paying and u still getting ads

Isnt the 5 bucks one like 720p

[civic cloud]

no its 1080p SDR

with ads

[sterile cliff]

Or 1080p

Oh wait did they get rid of 720p one

[civic cloud]

yeah

they did

i used to pay 8€ for 720p no ads

[sterile cliff]

Damn

[rapid lake]

💀

[civic cloud]

ikr

[sterile cliff]

Are the ads shit?

[rapid lake]

It's 10 bucks for the highest tier here lol get rekt

[civic cloud]

30s unskippable ad but they are surprisingly uncommon

[sterile cliff]

I guess thats good?

[civic cloud]

ok but you also live in a low regional pricing area

[civic cloud]

its not bad enough for me to spend more

[sterile cliff]

Faif

Fair

It is netflix

They dont exactly have a boujee catalog

[civic cloud]

yeah and if it gets worse i can just hook up my PC to the TV and watch via browser with adblock

[sterile cliff]

Well unless ur using a vpn or smth

Eh too much hassle anyway with vpn

I honestly just use these uhh pirate ones

[rapid lake]

did they block you from using my account or smth why did you stop

[sterile cliff]

Onstream is a decent one i guess

I have disney+ and hbo from my brother in the states

Netflix pissed me off because of its wifi rule

[civic cloud]

wanted me to confirm with you again

[civic cloud]

yeah

[sterile cliff]

Which is complete fuckin bogus

But whatever

[civic cloud]

if you pay for 4 users you should be able to just have 4 different people using it

[sterile cliff]

Disney and hbo have a better catalog

[sterile cliff]

Yea

But nooo because of regiond

And whatever

I guess you can kinda get away with it

Maybe idk

If u use a vpn on the country where it was originally registered on

Would that count as it being at home?

Or better yet

What netflix shouldve done

Is with devices

Kinda like steam has it or idk any other service that recognises devices that ur signed on

[rapid lake]

ngl just keep using it idgaf if I get banned screw netflix

i wish I had enough tech experience to host a VPN server to here for u so it just looks like you're home with me :3

[civic cloud]

then you will get a "hey send me the confirmation code you got by mail" at 3am message

why are you up at 3 am

ur 3am, my 11pm

[rapid lake]

i thought its more

[rapid lake]

do you do daylight savings

[civic cloud]

[rapid lake]

so it's always 1 hour then

Answer to your question about enabling secure boot for linux kernel should be here
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface/Secure_Boot#Implementing_Secure_Boot

[civic cloud]

I'm not reading that

and let's be real, 99.999% of people want to play games without cheaters and don't give a flying fuck

[snow fiber]

It's not that hard with using existing tools such as sbctl

[civic cloud]

I have 0 interest in installing Linux

[snow fiber]

Then you shouldn't reply with saying "i am not reading that"

[civic cloud]

I am not reading that because I have 0 interest in installing Linux

[snow fiber]

Any exploit or back door access in those anti cheats will cause serious trouble to you

[civic cloud]

So be it

[sterile cliff]

Eh only reason im not jumping into linux is the compatibility

You get way too much freedom in windows

Hell even with old games that you cant buy anymore

[snow fiber]

Proton exists

[sterile cliff]

Like i said

Im into old apps and games

Cant do that in linux

[snow fiber]

Most games work , even old games .
Depends on the app ,
i had a pretty good success rate for apps with wine. Some apps run worse or better. It's pretty hard to say about it

[drifting lake]

In apps yes in customization no

Use linux mint. Ubuntu or kali linux

I prefer kali linux but it is personal choice

[drifting lake]

Nice, privacy getting invaded is a beautiful thing

[rapid lake]

It's the most effective way to stop cheaters

Some games don't require it still, especially ones that have lower requirements. Because if they were to use an anticheat that involves secureboot half of their playerbase would be locked out due to older systems

[brave field]

kali feels a little weird as a daily desktop system

[toxic sentinel]

That sadly won't work on all my games (anticheats) so I'm pretty much forced to stay on Windows. I might make dual boot system some time in the future though

I hope Microsoft improves Windows 11 performance in 2026 like they have promised to do

[thin turtle]

no it does not

[thin turtle]

what

the principle at which the car transmission works assumes that the power is constant

it would never be a thing otherwise

if you want to include losses for the sake of argument please do not reply to this

I'm not going to engage in ragebait

you two just want to upset me

[snow fiber]

anti cheat companies won't give support to linux, such a pain

[carmine rapids]

[quaint helm]

bcus they know linux user knew how to deal with it lol

[spare relic]

Gimme a hug

[civic cloud]

This doesn't make sense

It just turns high torque low rpm into low torque high rpm

Where are you putting constant power into this

[nova steppe]

I was confused, too, but I never said anything because I didn't want the reply

[civic cloud]

omg I think I understood

He means constant power through the transmission

Not from the engine
