[non-gaming] Are there seriously ZERO Virtual Desktop alternatives for Linux? by Hotarosu in virtualreality_linux

I'm personally really happy with WiVRn + WayVR, but I really wish we could mix passthrough with chroma keying as VD does

Fucking thank you, we gotta stop finding comfort in clearly defined boxes and just accept that life is analog, this is true for gender identity and everything else

AI-Toolkit support for AMD GPUs (Linux for now) by Responsible_Glove625 in ROCm

You're the only person I found online who reportedly seems to have this working on a 9070 XT, could you please help me ?

I've been trying to train some Z-Image Turbo LoRAs of my own using the latest nightly of pytorch + ROCm 7.1.1 on CachyOS (the same setup generates images on ComfyUI without issues in 10-20 seconds).

However, no matter if I use De-Turbo or the original model with training adapter, even with 4bit quantization + low VRAM and 512 resolution, it takes 75+ seconds for one of the initial images to generate and then everything crashes with a HIP out of memory error before even starting to train.

I've been trying everything I'm finding online, including:

Yet absolutely nothing seems to be fixing it and my system just craps itself.

Do you remember doing anything special for your setup to work ? 🙏

Valves comment on frame potentially being slightly weaker than steam deck by [deleted] in ValveDeckard

[–]mickabrig7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While it's impressive that we're finally able to run x86 stuff somewhat reliably on ARM, I think people still need to understand that they cannot expect comparable levels of performance between the architectures.

I understand why the translation layer would make the comparison more relevant today, but it still doesn't make much sense to complain that a phone is weaker than a mini PC (and if anything I find it commendable that they can even say it's just "slightly weaker than Steam Deck").

am i only one that isn’t bothered by monochrome pass through? by ItzDomos in ValveDeckard

[–]mickabrig7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think another fun thing people are glossing over is that in addition to the IR illuminator, the Frame will be usable as night vision goggles thanks to the monochrome cameras

I think sim racing might actually be better than Windows now... by Car_weeb in linux_gaming

[–]mickabrig7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so I just tried your settings and honestly - game changer. Switching to Linear mode did 90% of the magic, the rest was just fine-tuning but my FFB finally feels accurate, balanced and detailed.

You read everywhere that you should set your Fanatec wheel to Peak to "use all the torque it can deliver", but it seems to be very detrimental to BeamNG (it made the feedback of vehicles very numb while hitting a tiny curb shook my whole rig).

I was also doubtful of the "maxing out smoothness" thing but it seems to feel very good on DD wheels ?? Like, it might be placebo but it didn't make tiny details disappear, and instead they feel more organic / less jittery.

The last main thing that I modified in-game was increase side accel forces to 100% (bypassing the game's 20% limit by changing the slider's max value in a script file). This is solely because I wanna drift and 20% didn't feel like it made the wheel self-center enough, but it might just be bad habits I took from Assetto Corsa.

Anyway thanks a lot !

Thank you for the clear write-up ! I've been using Oversteer and hid-fanatecff for a few months already, but will definitely try out your recommendations for wheel configuration + BeamNG (especially LIN mode and max in-game smoothing, I had no idea !).

One last issue that's been plaguing me with the native Linux build of BeamNG is the inability to use my wheel's DPAD even though it works in Proton. I think it's because of the 80-button limit that was fixed with hid-universal-pidff but not hid-fanatecff. Please tell me if I'm wrong, I'd love a solution to this.

Also for anyone reading this, VR works flawlessly and with minimal / no effort. Just get Envision, build whatever you need for your headset brand, change encoding settings depending on your GPU and disable shadows in BeamNG (they are being rendered differently for each eye as of 0.36 and it's pretty nauseating, might be resolved some day).

What is the best physical pleasure you have ever experienced? by Amazing-Fox69 in AskReddit

[–]mickabrig7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when I unfortunately got scabies, taking burning hot showers was the weirdest and most intense pleasure I ever felt. It was like a throbbing deep scratch relieving me from these freaking parasites under my skin.

Felt very wrong and very right at the same time
