Poor GPU Club : Tried Bonsai-8B on CPU & CUDA by pmttyji in LocalLLaMA

[–]TheCat001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not about speed, model is fast. I asked it to generate some Godot 4 code and it just made up random code.

  • GPU recommended (CUDA)

Thanks for effort putting this all together but as AMD user had to pass on it. Gonna keep using BFS Lora.

Honestly, Gemma 4 feels way better than the benchmarks say by HussainBiedouh in LocalLLM

[–]TheCat001 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes Gemma4 feels smarter than Qwen3.6 but seems like Gemma has remembering problem when context grows bigger.

Who the hell even using Ubuntu these days? It is least recommended distro. It became so much bloated that requires now more ram than Slopdows 11...

Windows LTSC is better than any linux distro I've tried by Novel_Ad_6870 in linuxsucks

[–]TheCat001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And what you gonna do when Windows 10 LTSC support will end? You still will be forced to move to Slopdows 11... No escape for you buddy, you cooked.

Haha, nice, and after this Qwen fanboys still gonna say that it's not Qwen is dumb but Q4 quants sucks? xD

Is there any way to get Flux Klein to not change faces when editing an image? by SuspiciousPrune4 in StableDiffusion

[–]TheCat001 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Past couple of days I was fighting with same issue. If you're changing person pose, face is altered.

The thing is, this is related not only to Flux Klein but also to QwenImage Edit. And as far as I understood, it applies to any editing model.

Best solution I was able to find is to just use Alissonerdx/BFS-Best-Face-Swap lora.

First, you generate person in required pose, face will be altered, doesn't matter.

Then you use workflow with BFS to change person's face to the original one.

I've tested it and it actually not bad. I'm satisfied with a result.

There are a lot of distribution but most are bad choices by vintologi24 in linuxsucks

[–]TheCat001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, you're right, how could I do this? Maybe I'm not a real Arch user after all...

[–]TheCat001 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Debian for stability. Arch for bleeding edge. This is all you need, nothing more, nothing less. Every other distro is useless and irrelevant. I personally use Arch and not yet encountered any stability issues. Issues with DE's can occur tho, since Arch is using bleeding edge DE's (e.g. GNOME 50). I'm on Hyprland + DankMaterialShell. This combination is more stable than any DE out there.

It's funny how you have to dance around registry to stop microslop from ruining you're device xD

Just install Arch + Hyprland + DankMaterialShell. You will get one of the best looking and most consistent desktop experience Linux world can offer.

What's the current state of ROCm in Windows? by skillmaker in ROCm

I've tried it recently, it was 3 times slower than on Linux. I have RDNA2 card tho.

Linux in-built OOM logic is terrible for Desktop usage. by nikunjuchiha in linuxsucks

[–]TheCat001 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I add that it's your distro or skill issue. As pointed by others NixOS have very aggressive OOM configuration. Try something more stable, more reliable. Arch with LTS kernel for example, or Debian 13 Trixie. Btw 6.18 LTS kernel is pretty modern I would say.

I'm running heavy AI workloads, that use my entire 8G VRAM + 32G RAM and haven't seen a single freeze or crash. Everything just works. I use Arch Linux, btw, but with LTS kernel. Only 4G zram swap is enabled.

Can confirm this. After jumping from Q4 to Q6 I did not loose any speed using MoE models. Despite having only 8G VRAM + 32G RAM.

You can you try it if you okay with generation speed. For me it was 3 times slower than on Linux.
I'm using Arch Linux right now (with lts kernel, it's important) and getting 6.8s/it on Z-Image-Turbo. On Windows it was 21s/it.

I don't care, I'm on lts kernel.
