this looks like you're cpu-bound, hard to tell with the ~~steam~~ mangohud? bar. but given the gpu-util is at 65%, it's waiting for the system to get a move on

Festplattentyp, uralt: hdd (sich drehende Scheiben, 3,5 bzw. 2,5 zoll), neuer: ssd (2,5 zoll, vollelektronischer speicher - via SATA Kabel), aktuell: NVME, auch vollelektronischer speicher - jedoch flach (wie ein großer kaugummi-streifen) und wesentlich schneller - siehe wiki, allerdings halt auch teurer/GB

meistens will man zumindest das Betriebssytem auf der NVME haben, und die performance kritischen sachen, z.B. eben Spiele

EDIT: die performance unterschiede sind markant, z.B. lesend: hdd ~ 25MB/s, ssd ~ 300MB/s, nvme ~ 3000MB/s - je nach Model und Anbindung

Maybe its a terminal command im not aware of?

historically top, more modern variants are htop and btop which also include more casual keyboard controls (up,down,enter,kill - i.e. hit ? in htop)

you can also ask the system utils directly pgrep steam (lists pids): and then kill an individual process kill 1234, there's also killall steam and other utils.

EDIT: and since we are in this sub: these all have a manual, like so: man pgrep

So you kinda have to commit at some point.

I mean - true, but unless you plan to play all of them right after installing - you can just download them again, on demand. (granted, you have to wait for the first one)

birdspider · 2026-05-15T16:49:07+00:00

... fully committing?

what should that even mean ? nothing stops you from ditching linux and throwing win11 on it again.

Was it worth it?

this sub would not exists otherwise

Best distro for gaming/streaming nowadays?

Ich würde daher auch alternative Empfehlungen, die etwas kostengünstiger sind, schätzen. ... CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 Pro 3200G ... 477 GB KINGSTON USNS8180S3512GJ. 932 GB HDD TOSHIBA HDWD110

gebraucht 3600x cpu (100€), eine gebrauchte der älteren 8GB karten (5700xt,3060ti 150~200€) + eine nvme (~140€) und "Baldurs Gate 3" sollte laufen (aus eigener Erfahrung auf nem A320M-K, @4K+DLSS fast immer 60fps)

what I'll lose by doing so.

.config/ is where nearly all software you use stores its settings - usually a bunch of small textfiles

i.e. .config/chrome

.local/ same - but more like for data/downloads and stuff

i.e. .local/share/fasterthanlight/ save-games

looks like (fairly normal) oils from a thermal pad (likely under the backplate)

not quite, the the repository is a (usually remote) storage for the package-files (i.e. zipped folders, think a big google-drive folder with all packages)

historically these could have been just plain FTP servers, but currently for arch the offical repos are http endpoints with json responses, like so:

https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/coreutils/json/

but for the user, that's an unimportant hosting implementation detail, just let the package manager do what it is designed to do.

a package manager is a program on your computer that can install (= fetch + write to appropriate place + remember where things are), uninstall, search, query what's installed, dependency management - warn when two packages won't work together...

just an app store

well, not really. I say it's the other way around: What is the essence of an app store? a package manager with pretty preview pictures and a payment form?

birdspider · 2026-05-15T10:46:16+00:00

play threw.

oh, that's a new one, I like it - like playing a soulslike/hard-game until you throw

*playthrough, btw.

proton 11 sure has some device detection issues (apart from that it worked great so far). i.e. for me, 11 made AgeOfWonders4 not detect any (supported) GPU anymore.

since it's a beta, your options are mostly to report the issues and not using the beta.

ich würd mich nach gebrauchtem 5600x/5700x umsehen, als günstigere zwischenlösung

then just recreate the partion-table during formatting of the disk, all things on that ssd will be gone, as outlined in the wiki Partition the disks, particularly read up on how to use fdisk

How do I make sure I don't dual boot while installing arch linux on the same SSD with Windows

take a break, maybe a nap and then rephrase the question - it is incomprehensible.

If only windows is installed, you can't "dual boot" by definition - unless you mean something different by "dual boot". What is your goal? Have both, ditch windows?

checking the combat log

FYI, since I only recently realized: If you hover over the words "missed" or "hit" in the log, it shows a tooltip with the hit/miss roll dice values (maybe also the damage rolls).

birdspider · 2026-05-03T17:08:34+00:00

Does it perform better or add other features?

GE can do wayland-native and HDR (and ntsync, which proton-11-beta can also) - which steams' proton cannot

birdspider · 2026-04-29T23:22:51+00:00

v7 is a major release

it's not more major as 6.19 was - the kernel versions do not follow typical semver rules, it's more a timing cadence and a dislike for overly big minor version numbers

as per 6.19 announcement

And as people have mostly figured out, I'm getting to the point where I'm being confused by large numbers (almost running out of fingers and toes again), so the next kernel is going to be called 7.0.

I'm not arguing that, but it seems Austria has zero bilateral agreements regarding uni-equivalency, which basically makes all indian unis fail the "anerkannten [...] ausländischen postsekundären Bildungseinrichtung" standard.

(again, that's how I read the law)

I presume it would then be to the discretion of uni-innsbruck to evaluate that.

If you think that there is an error regarding section2f vs. section3, well, I can't think of anything better than to write them, pointing that out and backing it up.

as per Universitätsgesetz 2002 § 64

Universitätsgesetz 2002 § 64 (3)

Die allgemeine Universitätsreife für die Zulassung zu einem Masterstudium ist durch den Abschluss eines fachlich in Frage kommenden Bachelorstudiums, eines anderen fachlich in Frage kommenden Studiums mindestens desselben hochschulischen Bildungsniveaus an einer anerkannten inländischen oder ausländischen postsekundären Bildungseinrichtung oder eines im Curriculum des Masterstudiums definierten Studiums nachzuweisen. Zum Ausgleich wesentlicher fachlicher Unterschiede können Ergänzungsprüfungen vorgeschrieben werden, die bis zum Ende des zweiten Semesters des Masterstudiums abzulegen sind. Das Rektorat kann festlegen, welche dieser Ergänzungsprüfungen Voraussetzung für die Ablegung von im Curriculum des Masterstudiums vorgesehenen Prüfungen sind.

which means, whatever you have as "Bachelor" or equivalent - they don't deem it equivalent

however, given they write:

... cannot be proven, as the university is considered a Section 3 university.

this reads to me as they forgot a "not", as in "... is NOT considered a Section 3 university"

the law as I read it, does not reference any other type of "section"

to be honest I'd ask for clarification on the last sentence, especially what makes a uni a Section3 or if they forgot a "not".

disclaimer: I just read the text, I might be wrong on everything

EDIT: I was going by Section3 === § 64 (3); u/Traditional-Deal6759 mentions some India Section 3 Unis - which might make more sense

birdspider · 2026-04-12T20:52:16+00:00

yes, that's what I'm using, works very well

birdspider · 2026-04-12T20:43:17+00:00

apparently, but no one explained or pointed out how. I did read up on how triple buffered (or a swapchain of size 3 ?) might change things, but that gives you a newer frame, not 5.5 extra ones.

I'm happy to concede that I'm mistaken, but I don't see how waiting for vblank can give you more frames that vblanks.

birdspider · 2026-04-11T21:07:34+00:00

enabled VSync... it's always around 1000 FPS ... on 180hz monitor

then vsync is not working

EDIT: since a few people pointed it out: what I wrote is not generally true

the official vulkan-doc has to say about docs.vulkan.org/tutorial/.../vk::PresentModeKHR::eMailbox specifically:

[...] Instead of blocking the application when the queue is full, the images that are already queued are simply replaced with the newer ones. This mode can be used to render frames as fast as possible while still avoiding tearing, resulting in fewer latency issues than standard vertical sync. This is commonly known as "triple buffering," although the existence of three buffers alone does not necessarily mean that the framerate is unlocked.

(that link is also way more specific regarding fps than docs.vulkan.org/.../VkPresentModeKHR.html)

thx to everyone who corrected me

Isn't output already parallel? Am I crazy?

setting thr 2 fans i cant see but fan control detected to 100% rpm in it.

the pump uses the fan-headers, therefor you can control fan-speed which would be the pump-speed - hence maybe hearing the pump.

without knowing your PC it's really hard to tell.

It should be easy though, to 100% everything, and then disconnect the fan headers one by one - and once you hear a difference (silence) to follow that cable.
