I’m using suspend on my desktop running Manjaro KDE. To reduce power usage it goes to sleep after 15 minutes of inactivity and wakes up on mouse or keyboard input. Aside from some flaky kernel versions and after underclocking an unstable EXPO profile it’s pretty stable, even games continue to run after wakeup.

That monitor will hold it back. 1080p wouldn’t be bad if modern games run without TAA blur, but most games require it. Even a cheap 144hz IPS 1440p will give you a better experience.

• Yeah. So I guess the next question for me is, does that mean that FSR four is going to be exclusive to,

• look, I would say it’s right now it has to be because of what I just said. It requires a lot of compute to be able to generate the pixels.

Just confirmed that at least on launch it will be RDNA4 exclusive. I just hope it can run on other hardware even if it is a dedicated NPU in mobile chips.

The sum of those percentages is 87.5%. So what’s the rest, maybe import from France or Norway?

That ATX board would be great. The mATX B650M PG is also better than the previous one, it is good enough. If you can find the B650M-HDV/M.2 in stock that is even better if you don’t need 3 m.2 slots.

That monitor was indeed a lucky deal. It looks to be a good combination for this setup.

The draft is pretty good. Only a few points to consider changing:

• That is an entry level Motherboard which may limit your upgrades in the future. It overheats with a 16 core ryzen 9.
• The ram size is good, but the speed and latencies are just as important nowadays. A 6000 MT/s CL30 Expo ram could improve CPU performance, but it’s a kind of OC so not every combination is fully stable at the highest speeds.
• Especially with competitive and indie games it’s easy to run them at high FPS. I would consider getting a 1440p high refresh rate (144+ Hz) monitor if you don’t have one already. It’s a huge upgrade coming from 1080p60Hz.

That’s more than enough. You can’t do any more.

As an Android flavour it should be safe after uninstalling all apps associated with the university. Did any of them need a “device owner” permission? That’s the only way to be more persistent on Android without root access.

The mobile and TV clients are often limited to the codecs with hardware acceleration. Or just selecting a lower bitrate on the client will cause transcoding.

The FS feature is great, it’s just cumbersome to use without a tool.

Snapper works well for a local backup like history both against botched updates and accidental deletion, but eats up the free space with the default settings.

Timeshift is an easy to use GUI but doesn’t support non-default partitions.

Also the quota support had a nasty side effect: freezing the whole system on snapshot deletion.

It’s hard to live up to expectations after Frieren but here are some that were memorable for me:

• Fate Zero - it’s a battle royal with magic, the story isn’t the focus but the characters and fights are great
• Spice and Wolf - this is about a merchant’s journey with an unusual companion (there is a new (re)adaptation coming next season, but the old version is also quite good)
• A Certain Scientific Railgun - a sci-fi city and it’s secrets, I think it does well in the would building

There is an even more relevant video of using external storage trough USB. He recommends using software raid:

Can We Build a Home Server Out of Mini PCs?

Are both drives fully encrypted with LUKS? Is trim enabled in both crypttab and fstab?

Thanks for the links! I updated my config from z3fold to zsmalloc and adjusted the vm.page-cluster to test these out.

Reading a bit more, I think when using large max_pool_percent (>30) with Zswap the two solutions are more similar than not. A crucial difference is what use-case is more acceptable since Zswap can cause unresponsiveness (and potential lockup) under high memory pressure. While Zram could result in an OOM crash in a similar worst-case scenario.

It is possible, it’s just not generally supported be ISP routers. Also there is a possibility of performance issues since IPv4 NAT often relies on hardware acceleration which might not work for NAT6.

Even tough IPv6 is technically superior to IPv4 for the network operator it doesn’t have clear benefits for home users.

Having global addresses instead of NAT means less control over your LAN and these unique public addresses can track users more accurately.

Btrfs with compression enabled and subvolumes set.

And enable/automate maintenance services for BTRFS. For example: balace should be run on heavily used system disks or scrub could help detect errors even on single disks.

ZRAM (With proper sysctl.conf like PopOS does).

Could you explain the preference of ZRAM over ZSWAP? I thought the latter was the more advanced and better performing solution. Is there some magic in Pop’s config?

Happy to help! Tough you are right, this is a rather generic error that doesn’t help much just confirms that the GPU is the issue.

At this point it could be a driver issue since there are similar open bug reports. A hardware problem is still possible since you previously said that it’s unstable on windows too, and power related issues can also lead to this error message.

Most distros use systemd and its logging solution: journald. You can use journalctl to read the logs around the time of the crash for e.g.:

• journalctl -S -5m this shows the last 5 minutes. Use this when a game crashes but the system continues working and did not reboot.
• journalctl -b -1 -S -10m this shows the last 10 minutes from the previous boot. Use this if the crash froze the whole system and rebooted.

Look for red lines (errors) and what wrote them. AMD GPU faults usually have the ‘amdgpu’ mentioned, memory errors could appear as ‘protection fault’.

Did you check the system logs to see what caused it?

Many things can result in seemingliy random crashes. Any overclock (including XMP and Expo) or undervolt or even a bios version can be problematic.

I would check first if it’s stable on windows.
