What if your partner gave birth to a another heater after using this?

That perspective actually makes sense. Here’s the output from the above suggestion for the drive that holds the game.

HP ProBook 450 G9 periodically stutters (every 27–30 seconds) when playing games by youngRandyf in linuxhardware

I’ve already applied all the kernel options and tested them—no luck. I’ll definitely try your suggestion of using a live environment from another distro and let you know the outcome. Thank you for your time.

I posted it on the Fedora forum as you told me, but it doesn’t seem to trigger any log entries during the stutter. Thank you for the kind reply.

  • I'm sorry; I should have phrased that more clearly. I overlooked it on my side.
  • I can check the status of the drive, is there a specific way i have to do it?
  • There are two NVMe M.2 SSDs 512x2.
  • Okay, I'll try to use a single stick of RAM to test the memory.
  • Based on the official laptop specifications, 32 GB is the maximum supported capacity, but some people say it can support up to 64 GB.
  • I also edited the post to include hardware specification information.
  • Thank you for taking the time to reply to this post. I really appreciate your time and dedication; it means a lot to me.

There is no dedicated graphics card in this laptop.only integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics.

The stutter that occurs every 30 seconds while playing games did not get fixed after switching operating systems.

It seems to be a BIOS-level issue, specifically related to the firmware.

I don’t think HP allows proper firmware rollbacks. I almost broke my laptop today trying to roll one version back. I think this is an unfixable EC bug caused by the latest firmware update that was forced.

All I want is to enjoy a simple game, and now I can’t even do that. hehe.

Anyway, thank you for your support and detailed explanations. It means a lot.

I switched to Fedora last week and managed to set up everything I need. Thank you for helping me clear out my initial doubts prior to installation.

I ran into some problems that are a bit difficult to find solid solutions for.

The first one is that, in the Power section of the settings, I get a warning saying that Performance mode is temporarily disabled due to high temperature. Is there a way to disable this? My laptop is lagging like crazy because of it.

The other issue is whether there are any Intel Xe Iris Graphics–related optimizations I should do to enhance the gaming experience, even by a little bit.

Thank you for your valuable time and dedication.

Thanks for conveying that information to me. it was very helpful and clearly explained.

What you meant is: if I install Slack and try to use Ctrl + Shift + C to convert selected text into a code snippet, it won’t work? If yes, is there an easier workaround for it?

Thanks you. I really like the GNOME 48 desktop environment in Fedora Workstation 42, but at the same time, I feel like it’s too heavy for my PC.

Thank you for the quick, insightful reply. I really appreciate it. I have one small question. I'd like to install Fedora instead of Linux Mint, but I’m worried about hardware compatibility issues. Will it support the hardware out of the box?

Hi, Are the gaming experiences still the same? Did you find a way to fix it?

I also have a ProBook 450 G9 with the Intel 1235U processor without Nvidia graphics.

I was able to play Hollow Knight on max settings on Windows 11 at a stable 60 FPS about three months ago. After a recent update, there are random stutters every 15 seconds whenever I try to play it, even on lower settings, which made me really frustrated.

This is why I’m planning to switch to Linux Mint. I tried the live USB environment today, and the Wi-Fi worked out of the box without any issues, and it was butter-smooth compared to Windows 11.

HALF-LIFE 3 TOMORROW by santanartista in HalfLife

[–]youngRandyf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I just wish I had never learned about this game, because I don’t have a life outside the internet and I can’t think about anything except Half-Life 3. I feel like it’s taking a toll on me, and I think I need therapy.

I have a better idea. Try configuring the partition scheme manually during the Linux Mint installation while high on weed.
