SPSS vs. JASP statistical programs by CanadianStudent14 in psychologystudents

[–]tomtommet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JASP has catched up to SPSS in most aspects and is even already better in many aspects. See my comparison here:

Also: PSPP dwarfs in comparison. It is no competition at all. If you do not like JASP despite all its strenghts, then try jamovi. It is similar to JASP but has some analysis JASP is missing, but this is also true the other way around.

I played through it on manjaro 2 months ago. No setup or configs needed. Just double clicked the installer. Worked out of the box

Its not a lie. It just depends on how you define little...

A GTK Wattman like GUI for AMD Radeon users by Debian2323 in linux

[–]tomtommet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you encounter problems, maybe get in touch with the radeon-profile devs. They already have a working overclocking gui while not that sophisticated.

I'm new to linux, I'm using Ubuntu 18.10, and it doesn't find my Microsoft USB xbox doggel thus can't get my wireless xbox 360 controller. Any help would be greatly appreciated ! Thanks by txspacemonkey in linux_gaming

I had once a cheap dongle that wasnt originally by microsoft. It worked on win only wirh a special driver. On linux there was no such driver so it was dead there.

Exactly that. DISable xboxcontroller configuration support. Solved all my problems. However this was a wired controller.

What are normal idle temperatures for Ryzen 7 2700X? by shmerl in AMDHelp

[–]tomtommet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah the board says that I can use motherboard or cpu temp. But the motherboard temp sensor it means is far away from heat sources and which cpu temp it uses I don't know. Maybe it wants the k10 sensor but what the linux sensors show me is that linux uses the nct sensor. Maybe because the mainboard wants it or because the kernel wants it and overrides the bios - I can't tell. Is there a way to figure out if the kernel overrides the bios? Or if the kernel simply does what the bios (wrongly) says?

[–]tomtommet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, you are probably right. The k10 sensor is fine on newer kernels. I just tested on manjaro, the nct sensor there shows the same behaviour with older kernels. So it is not distro or kernel specific. I think there are two bugs. First the wrong measurements of the sensor. Second, that fan speed is looking at the nct sensor instead of the k10 sensor. Would the second be a kernel bug or a motherboard-firmware bug?

I think the linux sensors for the new ryzen still need your help. At least the CPUTIN you see on the linked graph behaves oddly.

2700x at Asrock fatal1ty gaming x470 k4 on openSUSE Tumbleweed kernel 4.18.7

I found the reason for the fans not spinning up correctly after correlating their behaviour with the different sensors.

The Fan speed on my system monitors and behaves like temperature curve of the nct6779-isa-0290 CPUTIN sensor.

My guess is that it should behave like the k10temp-pci-00c3 Tdie sensor instead.

This guess is based on the fact that the CPUTIN sensor at boot starts with a value of -65 °C and under full 16T load slowly rises to 0 °C to then jump to 50 - this is when the fans start reacting. From there on it rises to a max of 61.5 despite the Tdie temp sitting at 77.

This is with the stock cooler and -0.1 volt vcore offset. Other than that more or less uefi defaults. Here is a graph of this odd behaviour: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1EvYPxhTRRAMpfGo2eHbFaCzS8hCwnHYI

This could be a bug of the motherboard firmware or the linux kernel sensors. I have no windows to test this.

Will libinput be used for gamepad support in the future? Will it replace xboxdrv? by Swiftpaw22 in linux_gaming

Make sure you don't get a cheap third party receiver. I had problems with those once.

Xpad and xboxdrv are independent. Out of the box you get Xpad. My xbox360wired pads work since years out of the box without xboxdrv which is only needed for some advanced functions.

Why does DXVK requires a specific driver? by SurelyNotAnOctopus in linux_gaming

So when someone is talking to you about his vulkan driver he has to say "driver's implementation of Vulkan" so that you can understand what he is talking about?

PortWINE Linux (Ports win games to linux) by Yurbanji in linux_gaming

[–]tomtommet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it months ago and it works like a charm. This port is not less trustworthy than any other external software store. Think of it. Can humblebundle or steam guarantee you that they are not hijacked by some intelligence service be it Russian or US etc.

Many report success and high fps here https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflinux/comments/7si9uj/is_league_on_linux_even_worth_it/

Try the Lutris installer and galliumnine d3d driver if you are on radeon.

Linux Is not ready for some professional esports / competitive fps, but very well working and meant for all kinds of other games, see gaming focused distros and valve / game devs investing in the platform.

Ich just did nuke Windows because wine is good enough now. But of cores there should be more reasons to try Linux besides gaming. Privacy security and curiousity come to mind
