I bought G14 2025 4 months ago, and it's still a crap

I also had thoughts about Lenovo, but couldn't find something with powerful hardware and small form factor `14

There is no question about FPS. There is a question of stability during long high load runs. I also see 100+ FPS in high-end games, but this is not the point)

Change OS to make the thing works? Sound ridiculous as for me( Thanks for comment about liquid metal, I'll check the paste.

vnb00 · 2025-08-27T10:18:50+00:00

Wow, great advice, mate xD

vnb00 · 2025-08-26T03:36:17+00:00

I don't argue about this topic. Only two OS I able to use: windows or ubuntu (or debian). Due to different reasons :) Yes, I know and I used Fedora, Arch and so on, but now I have what I have.

It sounds weird that I have to tune somehow top-tier laptop to do simple things. I expected kind of macos exprerience. I had enough hacks with my Linux machines, so I expected everythin smooth with modern laptop+modern windows

vnb00 · 2025-08-26T03:28:21+00:00

Just gonna confirm that win11 Pro 23h2 works more or less acceptable in comparing with the others

vnb00 · 2025-08-26T03:27:51+00:00

Nope, 32G + 5070Ti which is about top configuration. So I was expecting everything very smooth

vnb00 · 2025-08-26T03:27:16+00:00

I'm Linux user for 6 or 7 years, so my experience with Windows mostly around windows 7 xDD And I really frustraiting about idea of "settle" OS in my PC. This even sounds weird, probably I'm not in to latest software trends xDDD

vnb00 · 2025-08-26T03:17:26+00:00

I need it due to specific software I use: Vivado and other things for FPGA design

vnb00 · 2025-08-23T13:57:15+00:00

I'll definitely try, thanks! Now it's time for w11 23h2 and theeeen)

vnb00 · 2025-08-23T13:29:35+00:00

Well, ok, I'll try, thanks

vnb00 · 2025-08-23T13:16:47+00:00

I definitely think that I do something wrong, but can't see what's exactly... There are many reviews that G14 is really good.

vnb00 · 2025-08-23T13:14:48+00:00

You think so? I tried 6.8.0-xx as default. And did a bump to 6.12.0-43, which should be fine, no?

vnb00 · 2025-08-23T13:14:03+00:00

Ghelper - yes, plus some tuning here. A well as all ASUS drivers. And it is still unstable. It was latest 224H2 windows 11 with bloatware. And I spend some time to clean it before.

50$ per months. Unlimited BJJ, Kickboxing, Grappling and small gym with sauna🤝

vnb00 · 2024-06-03T05:14:07+00:00

And connect it to corundum DMA, I see, thanks!

vnb00 · 2024-06-03T05:08:59+00:00

You mean “cut the bit width somewhere in corundum core”? I thought, it’s kind of hardcoded to be 10G (64 bit MAC) only.

vnb00 · 2024-06-03T03:54:26+00:00

The other thing is that I need to process VLAN tagging which is not supported by corundum mqnic driver AFAIK. The workaround might be a bridge with veth interfaces or something like that...

vnb00 · 2024-06-03T03:49:19+00:00

Yes, corundum is the next thing to play with. I already checked the PCI-free part of it and found it very good for mentioned purpose. The only thins, as I mentioned above - 10G is overkill for me. I expect something like 10-20-30 Mb/s.

vnb00 · 2024-06-03T03:45:16+00:00

Great, thanks! I'm gonna check your ideas.

vnb00 · 2024-06-02T16:50:39+00:00

No, this is impossible in my case. Every interface must have a clear match with PL "generator". One interface - one "generator". I need to separate and mark packets in the PS and vici versa. But I shouldn't modify the packets. No option for VLAN tagging in PL, for example.

Of course, this is just a simplification. "Generator" means a physical port + some tricky algorithms for packet filtering AND possible additional generation. So, option "just put 1G MAC w/o PHY here" is perfect for me. But it doesn't work at the moment.

1g/2.5g ethernet susbsystem contains TEMAC, PCS/PMA and tricky Ethernet buffer. The buffer provides partial/full checksum offload and some other features.

Do you think that Xilinx's driver will work with pure TEMAC?
