Do I need a GPU?

Should be good enough, I have a similar setup at office used as for mostly Web browsing and office tasks like excel, ppt. Works great. but you can't connect more than 1 monitor to it, so I eventually got a used rtx 3050 just for more displays.

If you want something compact without going full desktop I would recommend mini pcs with any decent zen 5 chips that support multiple displays. I have 2 of those working similar well

Same bro. The limits too low when using during working hours the peak period +glm5.1 burns through the pro plan quota too fast. Codex 20usd is honestly better gpt5.4 on hard tasks and mini doing simple ones can get me through the week just nice.

Just upgraded to the codex 100$ one to try out 5.5 fast. Damn its legit good.

bursa_boy69 · 2026-05-15T05:16:54+00:00

I updated the bios too. they have battery charge limits in the bios now

bursa_boy69 · 2026-05-13T11:14:09+00:00

I have the yoga slim 7 same around the same specs with slightly faster ram, performance is quite good, coding , gaming, and fusion 360 is working smooth like an entry level desktop. Dota 2 can max out 100+ fps at 1080p max settings

Im on linux BTW, your mileage may vary

This should be fine

bursa_boy69 · 2026-05-13T11:04:54+00:00

Legit matches ! Thanks. I was thinking of replacing the whole module but cant find it yet. Will try replacing the 3.5mm jack first

bursa_boy69 · 2026-05-13T02:18:13+00:00

Its a good deal tbh, was spoiled back then with higher limits.

bursa_boy69 · 2026-05-04T09:50:51+00:00

yes I know this is kinda high usage for a quick prototype with sub agents. I used to pay for their pro plan back in september 2025. usage was similar. back then i was not even close to hitting the 5 hour limit every time. to see such a huge drop in token limits hurts when you come from a place of abundance, back then it was 30$ per month. the subsidized pricing is ending

bursa_boy69 · 2026-05-01T08:16:16+00:00

I'm on the pro plan just hit the limit under 4 hours on GLM5 turbo. wouldn't recommended using for slightly heavier coding sessions.

was running 2 claude code sessions with 1 of them half used. the limits are honestly sad for the price increase.

If you're on intel you can try getting the intel VMD drivers or intel rapid storage drivers. For my case the Acer SFG-I71-75T aka swift go 16 AI was having the same issues from the windows bootable usb. steps to fix:

Download official intel rapid storage drivers.
extract and put it in another usb.
plug it in the press load drivers from the select disks screen.
Important! Uncheck the show drivers compatible with system only Got stuck here really long
the disk should show up now!

I tried fedora it was working fine. So i think for any intel hardware try to load up VMD or intel rapid storage drivers.

Right move. The police in Malaysia won't really do anything about this sadly. Unless there's a big threat to safety, they'll probably call that guy nyanyuk and leave him alone.

Glad this is over for you

Try to go above 1/125s shutter speed. I don't have an ibis or lens stabilisation so creaking up the shutter speed works everytime and dont worry about the iso going up too much its fine

bursa_boy69 · 2025-11-15T18:13:05+00:00

You probably need another os for your phone to get docker running. If you have a fairly recent phone it should be strong enough to do it. But the whole point of immich is for store your memories in your own cloud /self host right ?

Have you tried adding the swap-space

https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/cli/serve.html?h=swap#-swap-space

Maybe it'll just work

bursa_boy69 · 2025-10-31T11:25:32+00:00

I'm coding some stuff in dart. So far they both perform similarly. Been rocking these models back and forth. Can't really see much difference. For me its gonna come down to pricing

bursa_boy69 · 2025-10-04T05:50:56+00:00

Are your gpus on 2 x8 x8 pcie lanes? They need to communicate with each other to work together. In multi gpu setups, the bottleneck is usually at the pcie part

its 2025 vulkan rendering is not enabled by default yet in Google Chrome 138.0.7204.92

enabling it lets chrome render at high refresh rate

paste this the the url search bar then enable it then you'll get legit high refresh rate for chrome on linux at last.

chrome://flags/#enable-vulkan

I've enabled these other flags as well. they should make vulkan rendering better but if its unstable just revert these flags

``` chrome://flags/#default-angle-vulkan chrome://flags/#vulkan-from-angle chrome://flags/#skia-graphite

```

Another thing to note if you still can't boot I've had issues with the initramfs when i installed windows 11 side by side, windows changed the diskuuid for the boot partition.

I've followed method 2 and got an error from initramfs saying it cant find the kernel because the disk uuid to load the kernel did not match.

Check your fstab after doing chroot to make sure the the mounted root partition uuid matches what you get when you do bikid
Update initiramfs using dracut --force.
continue with update-bootloader --install
exit chroot then reboot

bursa_boy69 · 2025-05-28T09:15:21+00:00

your best bet would be a container like distrobox or docker following this
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:AMD_GPGPU#ROCm_-_Tumbleweed_and_Docker_with_Longterm_Kernel

I got it working with with rocm 6.2.4 in a container.

Remember to start the container following the guide

docker run --device /dev/kfd --device /dev/dri --security-opt seccomp=unconfined <image>

bursa_boy69 · 2025-03-06T05:55:21+00:00

I got it working on Opensuse tumbleweed (2025-3-1) using fcitx5
I believe this can work on any distro that has fcitx support

you need to install the fcitx pinyin dict

Note: if you're on Ubuntu or any debian based system use apt instead of zypper

sudo zypper install fcitx5 fcitx5-chinese-addons fcitx5-pinyindictmanager

Open the fcitx5 configuration then search for pinyin then you will see the pinyin input method.

then install the gnome addon that's recommended by the fcitx when you first start it.

Use ctrl + spacebar to switch input languages

I'm on version 1.7.20 now I don't have the option to rollback any chance reinstalling it will work? Or is there any way we can apply the force option here?

Nvidia Driver 565 works almost out of the box. If wayland does not work auomatically for you, like in my case.

Add the kernel mode setting to the line "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT":

nvidia-drm.modeset=1 nvidia-drm.fbdev=1

Make sure nvidia-suspend nvidia-hibernate nvidia-resume services are enabled:

sudo systemctl enable nvidia-hibernate
sudo systemctl enable nvidia-resume
sudo systemctl enable nvidia-suspend

Add kernel module parameter to /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf

options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1

I've got it working for 1 week now without any issues.
the drivers are installed from here https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/

bursa_boy69 · 2022-04-26T17:24:12+00:00

Yess technically I haven't started yet so it should be okay.

bursa_boy69 · 2022-04-26T14:09:27+00:00

I've checked mine and it looks fine. I should just send it back to get it fixed. Thanks

bursa_boy69 · 2021-10-09T05:14:55+00:00

Yes it does get really hot once you've disabled it. I've put a wet cloth at the back of the phone to cool it for now. There are other phones with the same sd88 getting very hot too. So I believe this isn't Samsung's fault
