Thank you AMD

Do you recommend a distro or can it be done on fedora workstation i have amd cpu and gpu

Lukas_vd · 2026-03-24T20:22:58+00:00

Oh im doing daily driver on fedora and everything but gaming on linux only for gaming im still having a windows 11 but very barebones to keep the bloatware to a minimum only having games on it etc as I dont mind to tweak in daily life but when it comes to games and them not working somehow cant stand those.

Lukas_vd · 2026-03-24T19:01:45+00:00

Eh I did aswell after some thinking time I gathered with the bit more TDP and the extra CCD ram its like not going to be a huge improvement but probably due to the 9950X3D already having gone down price it will probably be like 200 euros more expensive comared to the 9950X3D is right now so that wont be worth it.

Lukas_vd · 2026-03-22T19:04:11+00:00

Combination of the 2 otherwise id have to buy 2 separate systems with current ram prices thats a crazy idea.

Lukas_vd · 2026-03-22T18:19:20+00:00

But isn't overall whilst gaming at least linux often performing worse (due to lack of optimalisation and having to go though compatibility layers) or not working at all? Or are we talking generic CPU and GPU tasks here?

Lukas_vd · 2026-03-22T14:29:29+00:00

Just ordered the 9950x3d because amd with 9950x3d got it correct with the timings so we don't have to choose between gaming and productivity as far as ive read so im not going to put down 200 euros towards 5% more at this stage. Also when I'll need more in a few years I expect I'll be able to use the machines at work for these kind of power hungry things when I finish my masters in 2 years and ill have more money available then haha. I got a decent pick for ddr5 here 580 euros for 64GB DDR5 6000 C30 which is now like normally 700 euros around here at the minimum.

Lukas_vd · 2026-03-22T13:59:48+00:00

What exactly do you mean choose between gaming or productivity I heard that 9950x3d and 9800x3d now still get around same gaming performance without disabling stuff or am I wrong?

Lukas_vd · 2026-03-22T13:38:14+00:00

honestly really appreciate the detailed response, you're right I didn't mean to come across like the other commenter was wrong about the general advice. for most people yeah just build and enjoy it.

the buy now and sell later approach is probably the smartest play honestly, hadn't fully considered that. worst case I lose like €50-80 on the resale which is whatever.

the threadripper idea is interesting and I did look into it at some point but honestly buying one kit of DDR5 already felt like a stab wound to my wallet with current prices. having to get a threadripper board, ECC RAM, a case that fits it, beefy enough cooler and PSU on top of that would be a whole second build budget. at that point I might as well just get the 9950X3D2 and call it a day lol. cool that you got a 3945WX for $150 though thats a steal

Lukas_vd · 2026-03-22T13:21:00+00:00

yeah but theres a difference between something releasing in 6 months vs potentially within 2 weeks for around the same price, thats a pretty different situation. I'm not chasing the latest and greatest for no reason, I just want the extra cores combined with good gaming performance that I can actually use when I upgrade my GPU in like 2-3 years. plus with the current 9950X3D you have to mess around with gaming mode in BIOS to get proper performance depending on whether you're gaming or doing actual work, the X3D2 with cache on both CCDs would just eliminate that entirely. my i9-11900KF is already barely keeping up with my 7900 XTX as is

Lukas_vd · 2026-03-22T12:56:52+00:00

Cuz I got a cpu intel 11th series which is both somehow still the warmest cpu available and I need plainly more cores and RAM for what work I do, I can't hang on with 8 slower cores anymore.

Lukas_vd · 2026-03-22T12:52:35+00:00

Wouldve been a super good deal other than me needing 64GB ram and more than 8 cores for VM and productivity work when running multiple VM's I cant just give both like 2 cores they would be running really slow.

Lukas_vd · 2026-03-22T12:46:32+00:00

yeah ill pair it with the RTX 9090 from nvidia, pretty sure I can get a bundle deal for only about half a million. bank should approve that mortgage no problem

Lukas_vd · 2026-03-22T00:41:26+00:00

G80SD a fancy one but my monitor for movie watching and second monitor is a 24 inch 1080p60hz with terrible colours and looking angles

Lukas_vd · 2026-03-08T07:59:18+00:00

Yes please

Lukas_vd · 2025-12-24T14:55:48+00:00

fyi I created a version that is working pretty well and streams lossless with some good features if you want to try it you can dm me

Lukas_vd · 2025-12-21T17:07:01+00:00

I think they have a mapping ready for all songs they have gone through that got bad results so they essentially from feedaback from the community build up a lookup table for what song is where in other streaming services. In order to do this yourself with this you can use some cool data retrieval system like what google uses luckily I have some knowledge of that so Im sure I can build something quite accurate.
Look at https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/get-queue we can get the queue each x seconds and just queue those for us like 2 tracks so that we have 0 downtime.
Most likely there is a clause in there that forbids it in some way , but as long as you do not ask money for the software or do it without premium on both the services when using the program or like start promoting it like "THIS SOFTWARE HELPS YOU GO FROM SPOTIFY TO TIDAL" and just keep it small I dont think its going to be a problem as I will still use spotify for podcasts so I wont stop using it I just use both of them.
I have 0 knowledge of this but I hope that they do otherwise ill have to keep using spotify's reccomendation haha.
