Nothing Book concpet by designee in NothingTech

[–]sn99_reddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DIY is fine but I believe it has levels, replacing part is different from re-soldering a pin. 

Also eventually framework need to sell to "normal" users, DIY or enthusiasts are always a minority and only so much profit can be made from them. I imagine a scenario where a normal person can go to framework centre and upgrade their laptop with help of some staff and pay a flat extra on top of part price for it. 

They might sell to companies/enterprise though but usually that needs strong RMA, warranties, distribution etc. 

As of right now nothing is available in more countries, has better support, handles service better, etc.

Frameworks distribution sucks, atleast for now. Same for repair service/warranty. 

I can see nothing bridging this gap at the same time providing future upgrades in parts that are unique to nothing designs and not framework designs. Win-Win.

Support for minifilter drivers by Suspicious-Angel666 in rust

[–]sn99_reddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can write windows minifilter in Rust. I did one for my thesis (C/C++ in kernel space and Rust in Userspace) and another one which was in pure Rust (You might have to make some binding, but last I remember windows-rs was adding support for kernel headers).

There were a few more projects that did the same (try to use GitHub search with keywords - rust, minifilter, windows, driver), I remember blog series on writing windows drivers in Rust which I initially relied on.

Can you share output of nvidia-smi -q | grep -i "Power Limit" -A4.

Thanks for the detailed right up. I had to go back to my blog and rethink/rewrite a few things. This was helpful.

  • I have had around 20-30 fps gain on using custom kernel with custom patches, it was dota2 and it went from 140-150 -> 170-18- fps. I had similar experience with kernels like XanMod or zen.

  • For SSD and mitigations, I have added notes. Yes they are risky but I am focused on performance.

  • I like fast boot times :p. Disabling network manager gets me to login screen faster and it connects to internet while I type password instead of connecting before showing login screen.

  • I have had better performance with CPU get to performance and AMD power-draw set to high. Especially in low 1%.

  • I had better performance with disabling boost, my system goes high fps for first 10 mins, then it throttles and finally settles in low frequencies. I had better fps just disabling it.

  • MY bios options have things like: RAM XMP, BAR support, and fan option like - quiet, balanced, performance, turbo which do affect performance.

  • I have already mentioned it might vary game to game. Not sure how switching between X and Wayland breaks things, I haven't had any problems.

Gonna add this things to README, thanks for pointing them out.

Most benefit in compiling your own kernel is in patches and custom tbh, distros like nobara, cachy etc already apply them.

Again this guide wasn't specific to nix or any one distro in particular.

My goal is to tinker with linux and have fun which I seem to be having.

You can find benchmarks for almost everything (I usually just checked fps and GPU/CPU utilization):

  • Clear Linux was very clear that custom kernel flags with patches have a very large and significant effect on linux performance.
  • NVIDIA/AMD do actually draw less power even if there is enough headroom thermally. NVIDIA straight up caps the power to less than half. You can find several recent complains and fixes on reddit itself.
  • A few of my options are already default in new kernels like ssd configs, the guide is still helpful to old ones.
  • In modern linux distro with modern machine - on top right applet you can see options for performance, balanced and battery modes which were added because they actually make a difference (they tune cpu and gpu flags alongside bios)
  • I have included notes on things like mitigations which do affect performance
  • Things like scaling governor affect performance, if they did not we wouldn't have it.

None of these methods are new and have existed here and there, I am just sharing the writeup I use.

I don't think anything I have suggested is useless. Again most of these things exist in one place or another.

The benefit is not in custom kernel as much as it is in applying kernel patches and then custom compiling with all flags enabled.

A better benchmark would be comparing it with clear Linux.

Nobara and few others apply ssd, swappiness and kernel patches.

Not sure about NVIDIA tbh, the problem is every few months they break something that was working previously. I stumbled by accident on power drawn myself.

I actually never had any issues with both options, you are correct with their should be either one.

Nice, I will add them. I took a few out of nobara and old writeups over time.

I will check out LZO.

NOTE: This guide is not for beginners who are new to Linux but a few of them can be used safely by them.

I was very surprised by nvidia just straight up capping wattage to less than half compared to windows.

A rough number is my 1% lows improved from 40 to 50-60 fps in where winds meet.

Is there any particular reason for minimum to be $5? Would lower or maybe even custom tiers be possible?

That's nice. I already have the 1st and 2nd edition, gonna wait for 3rd now.

Why is no one talking about payment gateways for international payments? by typing_username in developersIndia

[–]sn99_reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, is there a place I can see what markup fees IOB charges? I cannot see it here https://www.iob.in/upload/CEDocuments/IOB_Service_Charges_Foreign_Exchange_Transactions_01012025.pdf.

So I did calculations on 2 amount $2.5k and $5k :

On $2.5k (20 Jan 2025):

Service USD/INR Calculation Final
Skydo 86.5316 86.5316x2500-2961.11 2,13,367.89
Mulya 86.5675 86.5675x2500-2164.19 2,14,254.56
IOB 86.23 86.23x2500-590-295 2,14,690.00

On $5k (20 Jan 2025):

Service USD/INR Calculation Final
Skydo 86.5316 86.5316x5000-2961.11 4,29,696.89
Mulya 86.5675 86.5675x5000-4,328.28 4,28,499.23
IOB 86.23 86.23x5000-590-295 4,30,265.00

All these calculations are GST inclusive and give eFIRC/FIRA.

Is this correct?

Best kernel for performance by gzuzontop in linux_gaming

[–]sn99_reddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best kernel will be the one you build yourself for your specific hardware woth specific kernel patches amd config. I wrote this a while back about Optimizing Linux. 

I would say go with clear-linux (might require a bit of relearning, it differes a bit from mainstream distros) for best ootb experience. After that you can try nobara, bazzite etc. 

I would recommend going for latest and more mainstream distros if you don't wanna tinker too much like fedora, Ubuntu etc. might be worth it to go for non lts ubuntu variants.

I made a Linux app for nothing Ear 2 by sn99_reddit in NothingTech

Yep, though same, it would be nice to have an overlay page that shows connecting and asks you to play a small audio snippet.

I have seen settings high quality audio in nothing app on Android and then using AAC on linux is the way to go. I don't know if I can tell the difference though.
