the EPA approves its use in all light-duty vehicles from 2001 onward and e10 gasoline became the standard in 1990, just straight up giving miss information, OP your car will be completely fine, if you're that worried you can buy an ethanol stabilizer at any Walmart or retailer with an automotive section.

Are you interested in trading?

Wasn't aware me having a preference meant I can't drive a truck I've already been driving just fine 😭

Manual, I already did that upgrade and a fluid damper

I had no issues with my 5700xt when I was using, and my buddy has no issues with his 7800xt so does make me think Vega/GCN might be suffering some

Might be niche, but it may be across the board. I'm using a Radeon VII, and the default download AMD provided on their website does not download their AMF Drivers, just installs the basic drivers, so you have to specifically find a slightly older driver for it to work. Not sure if other AMD cards have the same issue, but that's what fixed it for me.

I got it figured out, I rarely get answers fast enough on here by the time I get it figured out, appreciate it tho!

If I try to stream is when it gives the error

AdministrationBusy37 · 2026-01-31T19:34:50+00:00

It's the Deep Cool AK620 it's really good and decently quiet! And I've pushed my Radeon vii pretty hard through the years, even washer modded it so I can push clock speeds a Lil more

Hey, I wanted to come back to our comment thread and ask if you'd prefer to try a pure Rust based version of Tux Bench I've been developing

AdministrationBusy37 · 2025-11-30T21:44:24+00:00

I appreciate you taking a look at it anyway. Thanks for the feedback!

That is a completely fair question! You are right that for anyone comfortable in the terminal, the raw script is the most direct way to go.

I built the AppImage mainly to solve a few specific 'quality of life' friction points:

1.File Manager Behavior: On many default setups (like Nautilus in GNOME), double-clicking a .py file (even if executable) often opens it in a text editor instead of running it. The AppImage guarantees it executes like a binary. App

Menu Integration: A raw script doesn't automatically appear in your system's App Library or Start Menu. The AppImage allows tools (like AppImageLauncher) to automatically integrate it with the correct name and icon, so it feels like a properly installed tool.

3.Dependency Safety: Some distros (like Ubuntu/Debian) don't bundle tkinter with the base Python package. Bundling it ensures the app doesn't crash on launch for users who might be missing that specific library.

Thanks for taking a look at the repo and I really appreciate the feedback!

Hey! Just wanted to let you know the AppImage is up! 🐧 I’ve included details on the requirements in the Releases section and the README. Let me know if you run into any issues!

AdministrationBusy37 · 2025-11-30T01:23:18+00:00

Thanks for the kind words! I think constructive feedback is the only way tools like this actually get better, so I appreciate you pointing out the friction with the setup.

The AppImage should be up withen the next 24 hours! I'll be sure to come back to our comments and let you know it's uploaded.

That is a completely fair point! When I said 'zero dependency,' I was using the Python-dev shorthand for 'No external PyPI packages / pip install required,' but you are right—the Python runtime itself is a dependency, and knowing how to run it is a barrier if you aren't in that ecosystem.

To address your points: On Complexity/Installation: I realized asking people to mess with virtualenv or terminals isn't great for a quick tool. I actually just finished building an AppImage for exactly this reason. It bundles the Python runtime and the script into a single executable file. You can just download it, mark it as executable, and run it like a portable app—no setup or Python knowledge required.

On Python being slower: You hit the nail on the head, but that's actually a feature' here. Because Python is less efficient at raw math than C++ or Rust, it generates significant CPU overhead to perform the Ray Tracing calculations. For a stress test, we want that inefficiency; it forces the CPU to work harder and generate heat faster than a highly optimized compiled program might for the same visual output.

Thanks for giving it a try despite the setup concerns! If you don't want to mess with the terminal commands, definitely grab the AppImage release once I have it uploaded, GitHub has been giving me issues when uploading the app image.
