Hey lemmings,
I have a headless server that works beautifully. B450 with 2700X and 32GB of micron 3200MHz RAM.
I am currently running Debian 12 Bookworm on it. I am at kernel 6.1, but in preparation for 6.2 or 6.3 being backlogged, I want to buy an Arc A380 for transcoding since they are only 150€ here. Software was fine for a single video stream, but I bought a new house and will have 4 camera streams running. Plus I want to dabble in AV1 transcoding for media or storage of my camera streams
Currently there is neither X nor Wayland installed since it is exclusively with SSH that I do all of my work on it. After I install the GPU, I was wondering if it is possible to not even install X or Wayland since I will literally never use a display on it?
Would I still be able to do Jellyfin and Frigate transcoding without an X server? If I have to get one, does it matter if I choose X or Wayland for hardware transcoding?
Thanks!
There was also a note on yet another performance hit, this time by the updated NPC behavior and pathing.
Sad because performance has been getting worse and worse since the illuminate update. Went from 60-90fps consistently on medium on my 5700XT to now 45-70 on medium-low with full game 100ms-0.5s stutters and drops down to like 20 on illuminate maps. Sad. My friends with 2070S, 5700XT, and a 7600XT all see the same behavior. I just hope soon they put a bit of time back into optimization.
