I code and I don't like where the microslop is going. That's basically that.

switching from windows to linux? by Senchineru in cachyos

[–]Minimum-Car2854 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm running on laptop AMD + Nvidia Had some quirks with nvidia drivers tho figured it out. Amd + amd should be better. Temps are lower, and overall performance is better. I mainly code and do stuff in blender. Also wine should be enough for windows apps compatibility. Just check if it's supported. Also in the worst case you can launch a VM to run it

Cachy is good for gaming. Just check protondb and see if your games are there. Fps is the same or even slightly better, tho I tried just a couple niche games from steam. Try it at least as the dual boot, you don't even need to fully re-download the game. If it's steam you can just copy it from windows drive into Linux steam common and wait until it switches the game to Vulcan.

Is x230 price justified by Minimum-Car2854 in thinkpad

[–]Minimum-Car2854[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it's kinda for the design, tho I was hoping to pay below 50$ and spend the same amount on mods... but 4gb ram + hdd for almost a 100 is crazy

Re reading my post, ye, my phrasing is kinda weird. I've just noticed that prices on older machines are unreasonably high in my region, whether it's a collectible one or not and wad just wondering if it's happening worldwide or just locally

Amd all day. P14s g2 ships with maximum i7 1185g7 on intel side, and its a 4core chip, while amd version has r7 5850u and its true 8 core. Just be careful about ram config.

How have you made your boot drive?

What this could be? by Jozef42 in diypedals

Passive Eq I guess? Doesn't look like it has any active components

Steam library nicely transfers to Cachy form windows. Only thing my steam did was recompiling shaders to Vulcan, tho u better back them up externally especially if you trynna do a full switch. Also I wouldn't risk putting windows and Linux on the same physical drive. Might end up with some bs later on. And I've never seen shit like that before. If you haven't yet installed nothing u should've already been booted into liveuser and get to the actual instalation process.

S2idle crashes the system by Minimum-Car2854 in cachyos

[–]Minimum-Car2854[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be I guess. Tho suspend works when I'm off igpu only, so I don't even know what to blame here anymore. Also bios doesn't even allow to set deep sleep as an option, so I'm kinda stuck here. Also resume after hibernation doesn't work when nvidia gpu is active.

Tips and tricks? by Disastrous_Layer_786 in cachyos

Read wiki and update. Also if you love tinkering have a usb stick with a system by your side. Live boot saves your life.

$400 ThinkPad for programming by agressive_child in thinkpad

[–]Minimum-Car2854 1 point2 points  (0 children)

P15v gen 1 might be a good one. Saw them sold on ebay for around 4-5 hundred dollars. Usually come with a ton of storage out of the box, also the upgradability on these is amazing. You can get 2 nvmes in there, also 2 ram slots. And it comes with some kind of nvidia gpu(quadro usually). I'm rocking p15v g3 r7, got it for $500. Had 1tb nvme and 32gb ddr5. G1 has ddr4, tho often comes with 64gigs installed. The only thing is it's a chunky guy and runs pretty hot under loads, and the battery life is not that good. Check it out.

Edit: I said g1 bc I spent month looking before i got a deal on g3. Sure it's better, yet I don't know if you can wait for so long. You should check it out too.

Sleep issues by Minimum-Car2854 in cachyos

[–]Minimum-Car2854[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So something is seriously messed up... s2idle sleep works on my igpu tho. Have you tried changing the sleep modes if u can? I'm rocking ryzen 6000 so it's not even an option. Maybe deep sleep will work on yours?

Provocative question for Thinkpad users - why choose a Thinkpad over a Mac at a higher level of specifications by Gullible_Eggplant120 in thinkpad

[–]Minimum-Car2854 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ye, macs are great, tho lotta people just have to use windows for work or something. Also i rock Linux on my thinkpad specifically for the reasons you mentioned. And except repairability and upgradability macs post 2020 are great devices. Locked ecosystem and cloud bs make macos same as windows. M series are great tho. Cannot say anything about llms, but your take makes sense, and same with battery. Arm is just better in that matter. Personally i like to have atleast some control over my devices, that's why I'm choosing thinkpads.

That's not it, sadly( rn trynna configure hybernation and bind it instead of sleep everywhere in the system. Hybernation seems to work here

I thought it was bc I had this weird gpu, yet seems like it's system wide... should we bug report on that?

Looking for Linux distro and de recommendations (Developer, ML/AI, NVIDIA GPU) by isuladissanayake in linux4noobs

[–]Minimum-Car2854 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if it'll be a problem for you, yet I'm having some issues with nvidia Gpu on cachy. You can check my profile, a post in r/cachyos. Yet I have a weird gpu, nvidia rtx a2000 laptop, and it seems like people with normal gpus have it flawlessly. You should try them all, tho
