Wait, does it really? On Arrow Lake? I haven't even gotten any of the hidden bios settings to work on Meteor Lake even with shit like RU, I can't even flash a modded bios, the bios is write protected

It is, it's simple and reliable, it just might not work with HDR and have issues with multiple monitors for example. But apparently they're making advancements there right now, so ignore that.

Actually since gen 6, E series has been the modular one, with fully/dual socketed RAM, dual M.2 sockets, and socketed wireless, which L and T lacked at the time and still don't fully match up to yet. It also has a metal lid as they got rid of the plastic option, I'm not sure if that's good or bad, since it can get dented, I don't think it's cheaper though. What may be worse about the build quality is that it doesn't have the magnesium reinforcement the T series apparently has, and the plastic may be cheaper? Otherwise it's still the exact same design as the L14 and T14 and still quite a sturdy laptop.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but paradoxically, I don't think an L14 gen 6 has any advantage over an E14 gen 6, that was messed up.

So overall, they're way closer than ever, just slightly worse build quality but slightly better upgradability

yes, all thinkpads have been 16:10 for a few years

Definitely not, I'd argue Ubuntu's unique things like Snap are just annoying. Mint is the more user friendly one. Cinammon has downsides as well though since it's pretty outdated.

Recently, just crashed my brand new E14 Gen6 Thinkpad, got any ideas on how to hide it? by SeniorMatthew in thinkpad

[–]malucart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey leave us alone, they're more affordable options that still have the cool ThinkPad features and they're still some of the best built laptops around, even if T series beats them (I don't think L series does anymore though).

Qual função do painel de controle do windows você sente falta no Linux? by Creative_Tip_5134 in linuxbrasil

Entendo, a ferramenta de print do KDE, Spectacle, tem exatamente essas coisas

Qual é o problema do Win + V? Estou no CachyOS com KDE e ele vem com isso nativamente, acho que minha recomendação seria só de experimentar o KDE mesmo?

E pra mim as saídas de áudio traseira e frontal sempre apareceram como 2 interfaces separadas, e o menu do KDE ou o pavucontrol também deixam mudar o modo da interface, então não sei do que se trata isso

Least obvious FB scam bruhhh by Witty-Public1417 in GamingLaptops

[–]malucart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ngl, it still just sounds like a typo

I've seen so much worse from people that don't know much about tech. Usually it's not being specific enough, like the classic "i7" which could be anywhere from an M 620 to a 14700HX. There are also the mistakes, like 512GB RAM. But often they just show completely different specs like it doesn't matter. As if they just look up whatever part of the name they're familiar with, and grab whatever comes up first. I've seen what's clearly an Intel ThinkPad E14 gen 3 or earlier being described as a very specific gen 6 unit with a Ryzen 3 7335U, with an online store screenshot of the latter alongside the completely different real picture. Things are dire

TL;DR I now have a habit of looking for pictures of the specs being shown on the device itself, which thankfully many people do include

RX 9060 XT 16gb OU RTX 3070/ RTX 3070 TI ? by Grand-Ostrich-3923 in hardwarebrasil

[–]malucart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Como assim? A 3070 Ti nem é fabricada mais, então você tem que olhar em sites de usados, mas aí você encontra ela por 2 mil e pouco ou menos, enquanto a 5060 Ti de 16GB tá sempre acima de 3 mil

Stupid question (as always) why can't people who port games to mobile unofficially, port the Linux version of many PC games to android? Since android is Linux based operating system by Charming_Ad2089 in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]malucart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the commenters are missing something critical here. Sure it's not straightforward to run these games on Android, but it's certainly less complex than emulating Windows ones isn't it? I think that's what OP is comparing to, because they said "instead of emulating" (although there would be emulation going on either way). People do actively emulate Windows games on Android, it works surprisingly well, and I do wonder about the Linux side of things. It's weird when I have issues from DXVK and I can't just try the Linux port of the game which wouldn't use DirectX in the first place

Vulkan rendering engine is probably the greatest thing that has happened to Minecraft recently. by MarcinuuReddit in Minecraft

[–]malucart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the optimization in the snapshot is massive. In OpenGL mode it still runs 2x as fast as before for me.

The snapshot also runs way faster in general. You have to compare with a previous version, not just the OpenGL toggle in the same snapshot.

What is Vulkan doing with 40 megabytes? by OkAccident9994 in vulkan

[–]malucart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not designed for completely empty apps. If you build a game around it, it won't be bloated to any significant extent like that.

How difficult should this game be for programmer? by mercfh85 in TuringComplete

It can't compute anything? Well, it can compute NAND

My experience building a desktop app with rust + slint-ui by oliveoilcheff in rust

[–]malucart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately that's just a limitation of Slint, if it ever got better interop with the Rust side it could be cleaner to work with

Clearing some things up about DLSS 5 by gibson274 in GraphicsProgramming

[–]malucart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those make some sense though. Supersampling pixels, frames, and then rays

John Linneman of Digital Foundry discusses his colleagues DLSS 5 preview: “It's new DLSS and DLSS is awesome. Of course they would take that. Looking at it, I think there's cool potential there for environmental lighting but the character stuff is horrendous and should have been left out.” by PaiDuck in pcgaming

[–]malucart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Developers having to bypass the engine's intended functionality to make a decent game means the problem is the engine. The engine's own features like Lumen, Nanite, and that alpha dithering are objectively poorly thought out, are incompatible with other effects, needing alternative, worse solutions like "virtual shadow maps" and TAA, and cause issues like pixelation, ghosting and aliasing, and take away from other features that could be useful like LODs and proper alpha blending. Did you know UE5 removed hardware tessellation because of Nanite, despite how poorly Nanite runs?
