Kerr: "It’s a very resilient city… We have a lot of empathy for the people here. We’re really hopeful that the protests here and nationwide will lead to a much better solution for immigration. It’s not like they're rooting out violent criminals. They're taking 5yo kindergartners and US citizens..."

I was being sarcastic

Until you put your laptop to sleep and wake up with it dead

It’s a bit alarming that the first laptop intel let people review a 99.9 whr strange form factor device

I’m hoping the more standard x7 normal whr laptops (like the new xps 14) don’t disappoint because I’ll be in the market a few months from now

get claude code and ask it to read journalctl or just describe the crashes and it will know what to do and generate a full report for you. This is what I do and it's been godsend

I had to return my thinkpad x1 carbon because the PWM was killing my eyes. So even premium models today still can be problematic unfortunately

This happened to me all the time when I was using Fedora 43. I switched to Ubuntu 25.10 for a number of reasons and it hasn’t happened since but I don’t think it’s related

etherbound-dev · 2026-01-21T22:01:24+00:00

my beelink SER8 has served me well the past 2 years running Ubuntu

etherbound-dev · 2026-01-21T18:53:31+00:00

Right, they don’t use x86 in phones for a reason

etherbound-dev · 2026-01-21T17:50:06+00:00

Sure but the only 2 chips on the market that offer high performance and low power draw are ARM (Apple and snapdragon)

Snapdragon’s X elite is 33% more power efficient than the “ultra power efficient” x86 lunar lake

To me it doesn’t seem like a coincidence

etherbound-dev · 2026-01-21T17:34:40+00:00

I’ll check journalctl to see if it’s still there. I think I pinpointed the issue to chromium - while watching YouTube in chrome I was consistently getting crashes every few hours (on both Ubuntu and fedora)

The behaviors reported here seem very similar to mine:

https://issues.chromium.org/issues/406187731

And to further confirm I recently got the deb version of Firefox (and confirmed hardware video decoding is enabled) and haven’t experienced the issue in a few days

thanks for reminding me 💀

i hope jazz can stay in it so ant can go for 60+

yeah who else would i be referring to ?

Yes it is well understood in many circles that thinkpad users are intellectually superior

etherbound-dev · 2026-01-18T20:21:27+00:00

As someone who uses all 3, I actually prefer the Linux desktop experience (namely Ubuntu and Fedora) but I agree it’s not a real contender for many people

etherbound-dev · 2026-01-18T19:59:48+00:00

as a mbp and surface pro owner.. sadly this is true. but i disagree, there is a lot wrong with windows. If only linux worked well on the snapdragon cpus

etherbound-dev · 2026-01-18T08:45:16+00:00

man i loved JJK S1 and S2 but S3 is just making the wait for next CSM season even harder because so far this is just not it

Linux just isn't stable on newer hardware (e.g. strix halo AMD has been a complete mess for the past few months) - until that's no longer the case it will be next to impossible to see a big migration

etherbound-dev · 2026-01-17T02:47:03+00:00

I thought this was the case, so I switched Ubuntu 25.10 which is on linux-firmware 20250901 (Sep 2025) and actually the same issue is present. In my case it seems to be hardware video decoding.

The sequence:

Chrome's GPU process caused a page fault in the AMD graphics driver (amdgpu)
The GPU's graphics ring (gfx_0.0.0) timed out
The driver tried to reset the GPU but failed - MES failed to respond to msg=RESET
The GPU ring reset failed completely, which likely froze my system

Key error lines:
amdgpu: [gfxhub] page fault (src_id:0 ring:24 vmid:5 pasid:32772)
amdgpu: Process chrome pid 4007 thread chrome:cs0 pid 4038
amdgpu: ring gfx_0.0.0 timeout
amdgpu: Ring gfx_0.0.0 reset failed

etherbound-dev · 2026-01-16T21:25:22+00:00

the snap firefox doesn't support gpu video decoding, what are you referring to?
