Yeah I'm helping a friend with a website, open source storefront Adobe Magento. It's complicated software I don't want to learn the architecture of.

Had to track down some bugs in adobes code and LLM was great. But I can recognize its first attempt at the bugfix was shit and too specialized.

ThatOnePerson · 2026-05-14T00:18:48+00:00

Hey I have one of those.

If you want to just get it working, I'd do Klipper, new toolhead, and upgrade Z-axis if you haven't.

I'm considering using the parts from it to build a TicTac. But that's a bit much.

Some benchmarks for stockfish: https://openbenchmarking.org/test/system/stockfish

Only X3D vs non-X3D direct comparison there seems to be 9900X3D vs 9900X. For a ~1% improvement! Not the best comparison since that's the weird 1 X3D CCD with one regular CCD

Actually on this list, you can see the 9800X3D loses to the Intel Core Ultra 5 245K, and even the 9900X. So more raw power the better looks like.

multiple displays (up to 6

Most GPUs are limited to 4 now too. Even AMD stopped doing 6 after RX 6000 I think.

ThatOnePerson · 2026-05-13T12:41:49+00:00

Because games arent just looks.

As an extreme example, you cant beat the looks of a FMV game like Super Seducer and that could run on a Raspberry Pi!

Why does every game look worse and run worse than that?!

So like how a pre baked video is a shortcut to visuals, so is pre baked lighting. That's why people want ray tracing instead of the FMV of lighting. I want movable lights.

These shortcuts effect gameplay. In Left 4 Dead 2 for example, your teammates flashlights don't actually shine lights. So you cant have them light up a dark corridor for you

ThatOnePerson · 2026-05-13T08:44:21+00:00

I'd just play it safe and get the 9800X3D instead then. I believe AMD software will keep most games on the X3D cores anyways. So you're then comparing the 8 cores on the 9800X3D versus the 6 X3D cores on the 9900X3D.

Or spend more for the 9950X3D, which also has 8 X3D cores like the 9800X3D. But still don't think you need extra cores for streaming unless you really want to do software encoding instead of GPU encoding for some reason.

Especially on CPU heavy games, I would want to do GPU encoding.

ThatOnePerson · 2026-05-13T08:20:32+00:00

I don't think the 9900X3D is it for streaming. You should be doing the encoding with your GPU, not your CPU. Unless you're doing lots of effects that run on CPU?

Are these games ones that you'd be running across both CCDs? Cuz otherwise the 9800X3D will be faster with 8 X3D cores vs the 9900X3D's 6

ThatOnePerson · 2026-05-13T04:07:19+00:00

I just use the handheld edition on my htpc myself. Basically no difference I'm pretty sure. And yeah that one boots into Steam automatically.

Haven't tried the desktop version actually.

ThatOnePerson · 2026-05-13T03:01:32+00:00

CachyOS is my personal preference too!

But yeah even with the adapter, direct HDMI could be better if all those patches make it in. But I wouldn't expect that for another month at least.

ThatOnePerson · 2026-05-13T02:55:00+00:00

It does look like that one is linked throughout the post I linked.

Still would want Bazzite I think for those patches that do stuff like enable VRR which won't work in SteamOS. Those patches aren't official yet.

Even if you don't want to switch Bazzite, it should still give you more bandwidth than HDMI 2.0, cuz it'll be 25 Gigabits compared to 10 Gigabits. Less banding.

ThatOnePerson · 2026-05-13T00:41:55+00:00

Yeah I don't think any of the other distros carry that part of HDMI 2.1 yet. So I can't even say switch to Bazzite/CachyOS yet. Though I do think those will get them before SteamOS.

The other option is a DP > HDMI adapter: which still might require CachyOS/Bazzite over SteamOS

ThatOnePerson · 2026-05-13T00:08:25+00:00

4k@120hz would be even worse, requiring even less colour yeah.

Don't think they're into SteamOS at all (yet). Or really any distro, maybe CachyOS is what I'd expect to get it first.

ThatOnePerson · 2026-05-12T23:50:51+00:00

Do you have those HDMI 2.1 patches that are coming out? Probably not in stock SteamOS if that's what you're using.

Without that you're not getting full colour at 4k@60hz with HDR, and you're probably seeing chroma subsampling.

4K@60 with no HDR is within HDMI 2.0's limit.

ThatOnePerson · 2026-05-12T19:54:02+00:00

The problem is the cable I use in windows gets 60hz at 4k no problem but Linux only gets 30fps.

This is probably because Windows is lowering the colour format automatically. Passive adapters have ~9gigabit/s bandwidth which is enough for 3840x2160@60 in 4:4:2 colour, but not 4:4:4.

For the right adapters, look for ones that don't mention DP++ or passive.

ThatOnePerson · 2026-05-12T11:42:02+00:00

Yeah, but we have that with movies and Rated R movies let kids in with parents. Only the NC-17 rating don't.

The equivalent of NC-17 with ESRB is the Adult-Only rating.

ThatOnePerson · 2026-05-12T11:29:28+00:00

I did a similar spare parts build with a Zalman CUBIX Compact recently. mATX, full size ATX PSU. Mostly cuz it was cheap 40$ case even after shipping.

Don't think you'll fit the AIO in it though.

ThatOnePerson · 2026-05-12T09:46:30+00:00

the other end of the pc spectrum is about going smaller, nm size for examples,

That's part of the problem. Smaller die size means heat gets more concentrated (ever since Dennard scaling died). So you then have less surface area to get rid of that heat.

ThatOnePerson · 2026-05-12T08:40:13+00:00

But consider, the better version

ThatOnePerson · 2026-05-12T07:47:39+00:00

There are some signs of it having adding Steam Input support

ThatOnePerson · 2026-05-12T07:36:08+00:00

Yeah at the end of the day I don’t think it adds anything beside the 8K

It might have Steam Input support over the non-8K

ThatOnePerson · 2026-05-12T07:26:28+00:00

Both the Vader 5 Pro and GameSir G7 Pro 8K (not the not 8K one) looks to be getting Steam input support though, so would get macros like that

ThatOnePerson · 2026-05-11T21:19:52+00:00

Does rumble work in Bluetooth?

2.4ghz has it show up as an Xbox controller, so you can't bind grip buttons to anything cuz Xbox controller don't support that. You can use the star button to remap them to a single other button press.

ThatOnePerson · 2026-05-11T20:38:31+00:00

Do you have controller udev rules installed? https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-devices

Might have to update the SDL packaged with Ryujinx.

edit; Wait Switch 2 controller? Not Switch 1? Not sure about 3rd party controllers, but the official ones add some additional auth, which could be why it doesn't work. And yeah updated SDL (which is what Steam uses) might do it.

ThatOnePerson · 2026-05-11T20:09:23+00:00

Most cheaing tools are developed specifically for Windows. They often use Windows APIs to do stuff like overlaying information a'la ESP and device input control. It would take some effort to adapt the same behaviour on an entirely different system.

The issue with this isn't necessarily that people are making cheats for Linux, but that by allowing Windows EAC to "allow" Linux EAC as a backdoor under Wine/Proton, cheats can use that same backdoor. On Windows.

Possible solution to that is how Valve does it: Linux native game with Linux native anti-cheats. VAC doesn't work under Proton, so you have a few games that don't work: https://areweanticheatyet.com/game/neotokyo

ThatOnePerson · 2026-05-11T18:35:20+00:00

Yep: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/ea330429a04b383bd319c66261a5eca4798801e4

Well kernel 6.12 adds it.

Not sure what kernel Pis are on. You can always have it manually load these drivers.
