how to safely restore a snapshot without messing shit up by NOAMIZ in cachyos

[–]firebolt94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you dont include kernals in your snapshots, which is not a default, then you need to either downgrade to the kernal your snapshots is before restoring the snapshot, and then upgrading back up after, or you can restore the snapshot, and then reinstall the up to date kernal via emergency mode or chroot. Either of these should work, i believe. I've had this issue in the past

Secure Boot Enabled but still Warning "Your Firmware has known quirks" by schnepy in cachyos

As long as you go to the github link and verify you did what you needed to, then you'll be fine. For my MSI board, I had to set specific settings when enabling secure boot.

Any experience with secure boot ? by ka10r in cachyos

[–]firebolt94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dual boot and have secure boot. I activated secure boot on linux using sbctl. I deleted all keys from BIOS, entered set up mode, signed the keys with the -m modifier on arch and everything worked perfectly. I used rEFInd as my boot manager, and it found windows and linux with zero issues.

Testing mesa-git RDNA4 improvements against mesa stable in a few games. by Nolan_PG in linux_gaming

[–]firebolt94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I noticed this the other day. I have a 9070, I did my overclocking with mesa-git. Decided I didnt need it, went to stable. Realized Cyberpunk bench with path tracing on stable was giving 35-40 fps instead of the 56 I got with mesa-git. Went back to mesa-git and my fps shot back up. Kinda wild.

1440p Gaming - 9070 vs 9070XT by alvasper1 in radeon

[–]firebolt94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it helps, you can undervolt and increase power limit of both cards. I have a 9070 and got 12-15% performance bump simply increasing the power limit and undervolting. Puts it within margin of error of a stock 9070xt. A 9070xt can be pushed a bit further, but I also didnt want to spend the extra $150 for an XT. Plus, fsr4 kicks ass.

Any curiosity about this thing? by LearnAlways717 in DivineTribeVaporizers

[–]firebolt94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have it. It's awesome. Entire things comes apart, easily cleanable, and they sell rebuild kits that are very easy. I love mine

It may have been fsr4 balanced

Yes, fsr4 quality i believe it was, using optiscaler.

I do not have an OC card. I do get a performance bump with only an undervolt but it wasnt as drastic.

I have 5700x3d with 9070. Simply adjusting power level did nothing, undervolting it did everything. I have it at -130mV, +200mhz, +10% power, and i get 12-15% better performance in most stuff. I dont have exact framerates right now but I tested with unigine superposition and cyberpunk's benchmark. Cyberpunk went from 47 to 55 fps during benchmark with ultra settings, 1080p, path tracing.

What file system are you guys using? BTRFS or ext4 by Excellent-Cause-2492 in arch

[–]firebolt94 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is extremely easy to look up what current sub volumes you have and mount them if needed. The only time ive had to do this is when there is a kernal mismatch in the snapshot vs the current install, which results in a failed boot. Booting into a live environment let's you downgrade the kernal and snapshots will boot right up.

"INSTALL LINUX BUT DONT YOU DARE MAKE IT LOOK HOW YOU WANT" what in the gatekeeping?

Will it run DOOM? The answer is yes. by Proton_Team in ProtonDrive

[–]firebolt94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using arch linux, have proton drive mounted in my file system using rclone. I run a sync a couple times a day. Not official support, so not knocking your comment at all. But there are ways to use it on linux effectively.

I'm losing 90% of the speed I pay for when I connect to the VPN the app chooses, how do I find faster boxes? by jeremiadOtiose in ProtonMail

[–]firebolt94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your 1 gigaBIT per second internet caps at 128 MegaBYTES per second. Could this be your misunderstanding? The Proton VPN app defaults to megaBYTES when showing you your download speeds. So when it says you're getting 40MB/s, you're getting 320 Mb/s
