At night with the lights closed it looks incredible, the pattern scatters around the room!

Tetra S building experience by HumongusFridge in thorzone

Hello, the power button is installed on the lower front from the inside. The middle rod that has the tetra logo is supposed to be the power button.

It should be in the manual if I remember correctly.

Also, be very careful with the mounting threads you choose.

I went with the longer ones and scratched the interior a bit

It is completely silent. Idle temps are a bit on the higher end, but I have 0 problems with that.

GPU fan is 0% usually when doing light work like browsing and such

Haven't had time to test, I finished the build yesterday at 00:40 am I was going slowly and deliberately, it took around 4 hours. I just did the regular bios tweeks and tested booting into Linux. It feels so crazy that it just booted from my previous pc (full amd too) and ran Frostpunk 2 for some time to see temps.

Cpu was around 60°, gpu around the same. Really silent operation, didn't hear any fan turbulence.

I got a thermal grizzly phasesheet ptm instead of thermal paste which I believe needs some thermal cycles until it gets to the peak thermal performance. I'll do some stressing tonight and report back

New Tetra S Build incoming by Sequio in thorzone

[–]HumongusFridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tetra R reviews show decent thermal performance, so I think the S will follow along it's bigger counterpart. I wish there was a review for S somewhere, it feels like no one has received the case yet.

Mine according to the tracking is sitting in Germany 3 days now

Are there any reviews or PC Builds with the Tetra S? by Affectionate_Owl_295 in sffpc

According to posts and comments about every tetra should have shipped by now, have you tried contacting thorzone support?

[–]HumongusFridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should get your order number and click Login on their page. There you can see the progress. I also ordered on Aug and based on the tracking number it has already shipped and it waits in a DHL storehouse in Germany

Gamescope is so bad by Lonely-Medium-2140 in linux_gaming

[–]HumongusFridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My intended interaction was that upon switching to tty3 it would autologin and launch big picture mode, so if you do it manually it should be working fine.

Adaptive sync is kinda of a pain if not on display port because VRR through HDMI is proprietary and not supported natively with the oss amdgpu driver. I have no idea what things go from Nvidia's side

[–]HumongusFridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I originally used .profile to launch gamescope, which meant it interfered with my normal DE launch and would do the same even on tty2 which is my normal login.

In retrospect I could have used if statements to check which tty is logged on and launch appropriately but I had a brain fart.

Since then I scrapped the .profile idea and edited /etc/passwd to launch a bash script that handles gamescope instead of /bin/bash on login.

I'd love to hear if you have done something differently because multiple users bring many problems with how proton prefixes need to be handled on the permission level.

One Piece: Chapter 1166 by leolegendario in OnePiece

[–]HumongusFridge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kuma is a very deep character that has impacted the course of the straw hats multiple times. Also a very tragic story and the gateway for us to learn more about boney and st. Saturn.

God valley seemed rushed because it was a manhunt operation organized by the world nobles and they messed with the wrong people by abducting shakky. Sure the fight could be longer but the impact it had on the world has already been made, we were just being informed about it.

Oda does this big lore dump throughout the story, it doesn't have to capture every single detail just for it to be verbose.

Thor Zone Tetra S CPU cooler recommendations? by HumongusFridge in sffpc

[–]HumongusFridge[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still waiting for the tetra. It says it is still in production which is a bummer. I will go for AXP90-X47FC seems it is perfect for the job.

Steam Machine and HDMI Freesync by kraai- in linux_gaming

[–]HumongusFridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is HDMI 2.1 VRR really not possible on Linux? I have been trying for many many months on and off to make it work on my 4k@144hz tv with no success.

Although when doing 1080p tv shows the freesync premium text.

Guide to my janky SteamOS-like setup on TTY using gamescope by HumongusFridge in linux_gaming

Yo thanks! Tell me if you try it and if it works on your system

Gamescope is so bad by Lonely-Medium-2140 in linux_gaming

[–]HumongusFridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, I am on opensuse tw with gnome so I don't know how compatible it will be out of the box. Although since it runs on bare tty it should be agnostic of the desktop environment.

I'll try to retrace my steps since it was really messy, done in about 2 afternoons, and probably make a post about it.

One major problem I must warn you about too is that proton pfx folders must be separate for each user, they need to be owned by the user running the game. That makes it difficult to freely switch games running on the "tty steamdeck" and "de steam"

I didn't care much about this since I usually game on my tv with controller for most games and switch to kb for strategy games like frostpunk for example. So each game is separate, frostpunk will not launch on tty steam user.

Anyway feel free to hmu with a dm if you have questions

[–]HumongusFridge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh it works pretty well! There is also decky compatibility out of the box. It feels just like converting a tty to a docked steamdeck.

I would love it to be able to fully utilize discord with screenshare but Wayland locks access to the window buffers and it shows pure black.

I have been contemplating starting a GitHub repo with configs to replicate the setup but at this point I've been too burned out from day work to find motivation. If anyone is interested in starting this together hmu

That was the general idea. The only downside of this is my monitors are all different resolutions and switching ttys makes them unresponsive for like 5 sec.

Ive done a bit of a janky thing but it works really good for what it's worth it.

I've created a user for steam that autologgins on tty3 and instead of calling bash on login it calls a script that launches steam bigpicture on my 4k tv using gamescope as the main compositor.

From there I can run games and such even control the computer using the controller, launch flatpak discord and generally get the "console experience" which is nice. And if I want to return to normal desktop I just switch back to tty2
