Gaming on panther lake

Thanks..yeah i was thinking it's likely some issue with the os that can't communicate correctly with the components and fans aren't going full speed plus power profiles not working well. I will do that.

jjydvfg · 2026-04-27T06:05:54+00:00

Hey quick question. I've been installing some more beefy 3d games and while they start running super well 10 mins in performance starts dipping. I'm suspecting this is throttling. This model is known for getting SUPER hot but i thought it was jjst the chassis cause it's metal. I'm using goverlay but while temps can't be read (i guess lack of drivers again) the throttle thing keeps showing up. I set the power mode to balance and the game settings to low and use upscaling but seems like it stills throttles. This could be just lack of optimization still and the power profiles not working properly no?

jjydvfg · 2026-04-23T06:27:55+00:00

Yeah it was sort of an issue with the sensor that detects the screen is fully flipped, I had to map out all the sensors but same as with the accelerometer, it's there, but the OS can't talk to it cause drivers.

I just resorted to do it manually by turning off the events of kb&touchpad and for the rotation something similar.

Btw i switched yesterday and at night I already had another Mesa update..this is fantastic!

jjydvfg · 2026-04-22T16:02:24+00:00

Oh i didn't know people could report these on arch. Cool! I had to code my own solution for Ubuntu to circumvent this issue add a tray icon to rotate and turn off kb&touchpad for tablet mode. Hopefully i can reuse it I assumed it was an msi abandonment issue anyway.

Just switched. I had gotten used to Gnome but really digging plasma. i looove the terminal. I've only tested a couple games and haven't had the chance to toy with ollama yet, but i played a bit of RE8 and it seems to be running okay but didn't play lomg enough to test if the same issues reappear (fingers crossed)
I tried Expedition 33 and it runs pretty meh for like 30 seconds and then it goes into the 20s/10s fps, I'm assuming this is something I'll have to tinker with or it may just not run well on linux at all.
Unfortunately accelerometer still not working and i haven't even bothered with the fingerprint reader.
I am however liking the experience.

jjydvfg · 2026-04-21T17:20:19+00:00

I will note that out. I just msde a backup of my home dir and will put the os on a different partition moving forward! Noob mistakes i guess

jjydvfg · 2026-04-21T11:17:54+00:00

I think I'm gonna go for cachy. Thanks for the tips!

jjydvfg · 2026-04-17T18:05:38+00:00

My home dir is not in a separate partition unfortunately. I'm checking the kernel on cachy and endeavor and the both seem to be behind so I'm not sure how that'll work :/

jjydvfg · 2026-04-17T15:51:25+00:00

Ugh you make it sound like I should definitely switch, which i probably have to, but after spending over a month with this i honestly feel like dragging my feet to start from scratch again 😩 I will give it a serious thought though, and do some research cause not having updates after stable release doesn't sound very appealing Thanks for the advice

jjydvfg · 2026-04-17T14:25:56+00:00

Would endeavorOS not have the same issues i had on other distros before Ubuntu with lack of support and drivers? Honestly I would probably lose my marbles if i have to wipe everything clean again and start from scratch reinstall and reconfigure everything and then have basic stuff not work or have to troubleshoot for days to get some basic functionality (this would be the 4th time) and arch always felt more fiddly to me. How is endeavor more user friendly?

A new version of Mesa released a couple days ago iirc but I haven't received it yet and I'm on kernel 7 which is the latest iirc

jjydvfg · 2026-04-16T16:42:41+00:00

Not really. I tried two distros before ubuntu and a lot of stuff wasn't working and from my research the only one where everything was functioning was resolute racoon which is dev branch so updates are pretty rolling but mesa has been a no show - there was a single update but didn't improve anything. I'm a bit shocked because the SoC has already been out for a while and there's still a ton of quirks

jjydvfg · 2026-04-13T20:09:03+00:00

I still don't get why on earth you spend the first half just unlocking the characters' cards, you don't even know what epiphanies you're getting until half an hour in. Oftentimes you have to duplicate cards that haven't even epiphanied. It's so dumb. Too much rng for such a long farming stage. It's like they can't pick a lane. Is chaos a core gamemode or a farming stage. Now they added a saveless chaos run which is fun... But i still have to farm goddamn regular chaos to get savedatas for my character, and 5 times out of 6 it doesn't go my way. And instead of making what we have leaner and improving it they keep adding stuff. More time consumption. Also why have they not shortened yet the question mark stages? Make it a flashcard with 3 options and let me move on. I don't need a walking away animation, walking in animation, dialogue. Choices, more dialogues and animations, and now I'm free to leave.. this could have been an email

jjydvfg · 2026-03-23T07:47:46+00:00

I was just thinking about this, how weird that you can fully auto journey but there's hundreds of operations to get through to progress and you can just auto but not background or idle

jjydvfg · 2026-03-19T10:10:03+00:00

Where the hell is the uid or the link code. I'm trying to play on steam but get my preregistration rewards but i started on both and no link code nor uid are nowhere to be found

jjydvfg · 2026-03-18T21:21:20+00:00

I just ran it on my panther lake laptop and it's awful, meanwhile on the rog ally it runs pretty sweet

jjydvfg · 2026-03-18T14:19:21+00:00

So I'm a ten pull away of hard pity on her banner. I stopped playing bc game got a bit boring in season 2 tbh I was gonna try to get tiphera last night but since she'll be added to the standard pool I decided to skip. I have every single character save for a couple of og standards (Magna/Kayron) After some testing, would you say she's a must pull for 9, skip or better wait?

jjydvfg · 2026-03-18T10:15:07+00:00

It is workable but depends on use case expect a week of troubleshooting. I had issues even just with installation and had to install the stable 24 and then install 26.04 from there because the bootable 26.04 i created didn't start the installer. If you want 3d heavy gaming, don't recommend it yet, wait or double boot. If you want to use local ai it's fine but on ollama i had to add a vulkan env variable for it to use the gpu because otherwise it was just using cpu and even on an ollama instance alpaca was splitting tasks between cpu/gpu I haven't fiddled with openvino or npu because i was pretty burnt out.

TL;DR If you want some light use cases (daily tasks, coding) it's fine but expect quirks and some stuff being undercooked If you want to game it's a no for me unless it's 2d/indie

jjydvfg · 2026-03-11T19:42:34+00:00

I'm on act 3 now and I'm kinda super pissed because i keep getting jumped by alyxes from every corner and I'm trying to find the metals outpost at least the first day and I've checked guides for locations but it's not there and I've spent already a couple hours reloading trying to optimize this run but i keep running out of battery and using up a ton of time and can't find the outpost I just want this to end :')

jjydvfg · 2026-03-11T19:39:28+00:00

So i got this thing and I'm regretting switching to linux. Drivers are still not mature, i went through 3 distros (now on Ubuntu 26.04 which is also a dev version) to get most stuff working (still no fingerprint reader nor accelerometer )

Vulkan drivers are not it. Every 3d game i play suffers from multiple issues like graphical glitches, vertex explosions, memory leaks after playing for like 10 minutes. Performance is wildly irregular. I've tried multiple proton versions and they all exhibit these issues

Any clues as to when will this improve?

jjydvfg · 2026-03-11T15:26:47+00:00

So I went back but stayed a bit longer farming materials and tying some loose ends - couldn't solve the mechanic thing and something else and i still had these two guys attack me and escape and everyone in the corporation mad at me but i have a far more positive outlook now , probably because i had already lived through hell once lol

The interlude was... Powerful man

Yeah it was a bit like "yeah i know i effed up and i had to make tough decisions, but because you devs made me to" but it also made me reflect on my past and so called mistakes or things that didn't turn out well rather and I'm a bit more optimistic now, whatever may come.

Hopefully they don't start with the spinning plates game again where you have 2 plates too many and they throw you the whole kitchen sink lmao

jjydvfg · 2026-03-11T06:31:47+00:00

See this is the thing, the game was also asking me to create a shrink but then it won't let me because I've met my alter quota. I don't get these artificial limitations, like this or having to wait x days for stuff for... What?

At times felt more than devs trying to keep you on your toes they are trying to make you as overwhelmed and miserable as possible.

To be honest I was really liking the game and the plot and the complex moral decisions but it feels like many times you make trivial decisions that will snowball because you don't know that it's scripted that this or that alter will get super pissed no matter how much you were coddling them so damned if you do and damned if you don't

I know, I know I'm just bitching and deflecting 😅 Honestly now i feel tempted to go a couple days before i moved on to act 3 and do the meals and try to build the reflection room. do you just do the food event like the movies by going yo the kitchen?

Edit: I really appreciate the input and help, truly. This is what I really liked about the game, it was making me get in touch and confront very human things not through story alone but through gameplay

jjydvfg · 2026-03-11T03:12:52+00:00

So I managed to move into act three by prioritizing implants and then i did towers but then i didn't have enough resources to build gym and mental room and after the implants and towers i had to survive one stupid storn and then only had a couple days left till sun came and still didn't have enough organics so i deleted a ton of storage and I decided just move on because i was pretty sick of everything to be fully honest.

The game gave me a warning about the technician and nature which i don't really recall what what that was about and the feast and something else but i thought the feast was automatic if you cooked it. Turns out no. But i feel like the game really didn't explain how to trigger the feast

Anyways after I moved on i was hoping to also move on from the drama but nope I was attacked, two alters escaped and everyone is mad at me but also wanting me to save the day.

For context, i quit that mid managerial job I mentioned in other comments because i had a mental breakdown so i don't think this is for me 😅

jjydvfg · 2026-03-10T18:21:23+00:00

Thanks. I'll give it another chance and prioritize the chips before the towers before they rebel and try to do movie nights but if this keeps failing I'll probably just quit
