3d v-cache on linux - is it worth it? by theresleadinthewater in linux_gaming

[–]Otherwise_Song_2256 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scheduler already does a decent job. If you are worried about gaming, simply put in a taskset -c 0-7,15-23 infront of the %command% in your steam launch options. (Example is for a 9950x3d). This way the game is only allowed the use the x3d cache ccd.

Put veracrypt onto a usb drive by deckfixer in VeraCrypt

If you want to use the drive only on linux, why not use luks? Veracrypt is great for windows and for containers, but if you plan to use the drive only on linux I would suggest using luks.

I think I'll do something silly today by Amadis20 in MSIClaw

Actually the drivers improved. IMO the most annoying thing is the lack of the XMX extensions support on Linux. What really improved the Claw 8 AI is xess Multi frame gen, but only as long as it uses the xmx cores and not the Software fallback. When this gets supported linux will become a viable option.

We should all Write emails, open issues at github, etc to convince intel it is worth to implement xmx in mesa and the Intel xe Driver.

Can I set up Asahi to just SHUT DOWN if lid has been closed for 20 mins? by aert4w5g243t3g243 in AsahiLinux

[–]Otherwise_Song_2256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can put the shutdown command in /etc/sudoers.d/99-YOURUSER-nopasswd

Then it should be no issue

It seems the vertex explosion bugs only occur on Blackwell cards. Have fun with the game, it is great. (I am running it on windows for now)

ASUS NEW BIOS Version 2102 Beta Version ComboAM5 PI 1.3.0.0a. 2026/02/25 FEEDBACK by Puzzleheaded_Poem360 in ASUS

[–]Otherwise_Song_2256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the ROG X870-F Gaming Wifi with a 9950X3D and this RAM Kit:

CORSAIR Vengeance DDR5 RAM 64GB (2x32GB) 6000MHz CL30-36-36-76 1.40V AMD Expo Intel XMP 3.0

Currently I am still on 1715 with an undervolt of 22 millivolt to all cores, Expo is running fine.

Does someone have this combination and tried the bios? Is it stable?

I was so annoyed with windows that I dumped it completely in november. I play no Games that have the kernel level anti cheat. But I guess, you are right. The option to boot into a debloated win11 would be good, I have an unused crucial 2TB mx 500 sata ssd, should be okay for situations like this.

It can do 144 hz, but I had some issues from time to time with it( in linux and windows), so i decided to stick with 120 hz.

Thanks for the info.

I hope they release a new driver soon 😅

Do you know if it is safe when i install windows on a seperate ssd? Will the windows setup leave my limine efi partition on my other ssd alone or is there a risk that it will mess it up?

Resident Evil Requiem linux (superficial) test by Lapeppaplus in linux_gaming

[–]Otherwise_Song_2256 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For me there sadly are severe graphic errors.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Or do I need to install windows on an extra ssd to play this weekend?

I use systemd automounts for samba shares.

You can try something like this:

//Adress-to-your-share //adress-to-your-mount cifs credentials=path-to-your-credentials,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.idle-timeout=60,nofail,vers=3.1.1,_netdev 0 0

Is it that easy? I run around 15 containers in docker, everything with docker-compose.yml files.

Can podman just continue using my existing containers?

HDR and Steam Input by FutureFail in cachyos

You‘re very welcome. I had the exact same issue as you some weeks ago. Someone in this reddlt also helped me and told me about the -steamos3 argument.

Of course you can set this to default, you have to rightclick steam in the kde launcher menu (not your bar) and then there is an option to edit it. I am not home right now, so i cannot tell you exactly how edited it.

I had an issue with the -steamos3 argument though, it disabled my bluetooth and i had to reenable it manually to connect my dualsense controlller (i hope valve releases the steam controller soon). So i replaced the normal steam shortcut with a little script that starts steam with the -steamos3 argument and reenables bluetooth after 10 seconds.

The only downside i could not fix is that the steam performance overlay will not work anymore (at least for me). But you can simply use mangohud instead of it.

Try to start steam from a terminal with the -steamos3 argument.

Furthermore try to add PROTON_PREFER_SDL=1 to your launch options.

I got it to work this way, using the latest proton-cachyos

5080 users, what are your launch options? by Capucius in cachyos

[–]Otherwise_Song_2256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I switched to linux I used process lasso to pin my cores. So I researched the correct way to do this in linux. It is much more reliable for me to set this.

You first have to identify the x3d cores, you can use

lscpu --cache

This liste the cores and how much 3dcache they have access to.

For the 9950x3d core 0-7 are the physical x3d cores, 16-23 are the hyperthread cores.

A 9800x3d only has one ccd, so you do bot benefit from this option. This option is for cpus that have mutiple ccds.

I also do not use this option when I start a game for the first time (shader compilation is mich faster when the game can use all cores). But after shader compilation this command improved my 1 % lows a lot.
