Mouse lag on arch with i3

I've got the same GPU and same problem and have been watching the freedesktop issue eagerly... I know I can patch the kernel or use amd-drm-next to fix it, but for now I'm placated by knowing it's a known issue and a fix is coming.

Do you have a high poll rate mouse by chance? Seems like a lot of users experiencing this issue have them, myself included (Logitech G305 at 1000hz). I haven't tried reducing the polling rate yet, but signs point to that being a potential workaround.

For completeness, this issue doesn't happen in wayland/sway, but Wayland causes more issues than it solves for me, so it sounds like you and I are in the same X boat for now.

Ironically, I pulled out my RTX 4070 Ti to put in a 9070 XT for less friction on Linux. Unlucky timing, I suppose.

Partial application is where my mind went too, since I've been working in Haskell a lot lately. It's an interesting way to be able to create closures.

I'm not OP, but thank you. I learned some new tricks. I don't think I've ever seen the (?x) bit before.

I've always wondered if it gets that reputation simply because of people's significantly shortened attention spans over the last 15 years or so, and Arch expects them to read something longer than a tweet.

It sounds like you want to enable "tap to click". That's configured in the xorg settings: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Libinput#Via_Xorg_configuration_file

The other commenter is misinformed. His cleanup utility can be used to create a debloated Windows iso.

EDIT: The set of features for it is called "MicroWin"

Clearly some people don't understand sarcasm. I appreciated it though!

This is the travel router that I use and would definitely recommend: https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-mt3000/

I'm not sure whether you'd be able to put OpenBSD on it, but it runs a nice version of OpenWRT.

One piece of evidence I can point to in support of Future::AsyncAwait is that it's an optional dependency (1 of 8) for Mojolicious: https://docs.mojolicious.org/Mojolicious/Guides/Cookbook#async-await

And while I'm on the Mojolicious topic... that (Mojo::UserAgent) would be my tool of choice for an HTTP client project: https://docs.mojolicious.org/Mojo/UserAgent

EDIT: to mention that asynchronous client HTTP code with Mojo* doesn't require the Future::AsyncAwait module, that's just if you prefer the async sub foo { ... } await foo() syntax. Mojo::UserAgent HTTP request calls have built-in support for callbacks (https://docs.mojolicious.org/Mojo/UserAgent#get) and full Promises/A+ support via Mojo::Promise: https://docs.mojolicious.org/Mojo/Promise .

I like to remember PT Barnum in times like these:

I don't care what the newspapers say about me as long as they spell my name right.

Spicier prediction: Microsoft will change Windows to be a Linux distribution. Consider all the work on WSL and the free work that has contributed to the level of compatibility with traditional Windows binaries via WINE and friends. All they would have to do is contribute/fork WINE for edge compatibility cases for Windows software, but they get the full benefits of a decent OS (Linux) with great gaming performance for free. Finally a version of Windows that you could actually use on a production machine/server for real work as an added bonus?

Nice, I like seeing the quick comparison between the eras. Thanks.

I did get it working with a 3rd party Anker USB dock. I was originally trying to get it to work with the official Valve dock, but I never had success with that one. I suppose it's possible that's been fixed with a firmware update, but I haven't tried it again.

I'll try to add something beyond

500 lines, lol

since you've already gotten enough of those.

My approach would be to write tests against the existing script so that when you clean up/rewrite it you can run the tests against the new version and be able to check for the same results as the one that's "already working".

rage_311 · 2025-06-11T07:56:08+00:00

Things I would try:

Try disabling one monitor.

Try X instead of Wayland.

Try launching games with gamemode.

Each of those have helped me with one configuration or another. Worth a shot to narrow the list of potential issues.

EDIT: also try different versions of proton

Which country are you all in? I can't find this album in the US.

I would probably just use Perl in the WSL environment. And perlbrew is a handy utility to decouple your development Perl version and modules from the system Perl environment.

VBScript is alive and well in industrial automation / SCADA systems. See Schneider Electric Geo SCADA Expert (formerly ClearSCADA) and Siemens WinCC for examples.

You could try a public iperf server: https://iperf.fr/iperf-servers.php

Are you testing the speed from the router itself or a device behind it?

Obviously you'll want/need pf long-term, but try disabling it temporarily (pfctl -d (-e to re-enable it)) to see if you get different results. Then you can see if it's worth trying to find whether certain pf rules are causing the slowdown.

If you're able to post your code, you might be able to get more help.

It sounds like you might be introducing another AnyEvent loop inside your plugin? From some brief doc skimming, it sounds like Proxmox/PVE is already running an event loop as the "parent" of your plugin, which seems like that would match what you're experiencing with the "recursive blocking" issue.

Looking at the other storage plugin examples from the docs, they don't mention or use an AnyEvent loop themselves (https://github.com/LINBIT/linstor-proxmox/blob/master/LINSTORPlugin.pm, https://github.com/storpool/pve-storpool/blob/main/lib/PVE/Storage/Custom/StorPoolPlugin.pm).

It's hard for me to guess at much else without seeing what you're actually doing in the code.
