I don't think you need to get yourself banned. Tell them you will make the switch, and when you'll make it. You don't need to explain yourself any further or make excuses.

The moment you try to min max the economy will fall apart. Replicate new PC parts? Cool, but now intel/AMD/Nvidia will go bankrupt, no more development. So I guess you could min-max the economical revolution. Capitalism doesn't appear to make sense in a world with near endless access to anything.

Personally I'd get heaps of food and water

I hate that by now, I have found a way for capitalist to bill you anyways.

Distro: Linux Mint Cinnamon

I use a different Browser and hence uninstalled firefox. But it still receives updates through the system, same with thunderbird. My upgrade manager flags them as security updates sometimes, so I install them. But are they actually necessary? Can I make my system filter them out when updating, or is that a bad idea?

Solution: run dpkg -l "*firef*" to find there were still firefox packages installed. Removed them. Hopefully did the trick.

My GPU's fans spin either at 100% or stand still. they rarely ever dip below 1000rpm, and if so, only shortly (see images below). This worries me, and I am 99% sure I'll refund that card, but before buying a new one, I want to make sure the fault is not with my system. This is my first AMD GPU and I am pretty green in Linux.

So far I tried adjusting the GPU's fan curve, with fan-control and CoreCtrl but it didn't change the erratic fan behavior.

I checked my BIOS for 0rpm mode, but couldn't find anything. It also only let's me configure CPU and sys fan curves.

Is there anything I can try before sending the card back to fix these issues or -best case- verify the card is actually causing the issue? I'd hate to get a replacement and face the same issues again.

specsLinux Mint GPU: acer AMD RX7600XT CPU: AMD Ryzen 5800x RAM: 16GB DDR4 @3600mHz; G.Skill Tridentz Neo MoBo: MSI B550Pro-A

imagesTemperature and fan curves over the span of 20min; green = fan rpm, yellow is GPU junction temp, blue is GPU edge temp

Temperature and fan curves over the span of 20min; green curve is fan rpm, yellow curve is GPU junction temp, blue curve is GPU edge temp

Update I REMed it and will get the same.card again, but from a different, more widely adopted vendor. I don't want to spent another week troubleshooting an issue I may not have the skill to fix.

Thank you all for your input :)

Recently bought a RX7600XT and experienced lagging in Krita and flickering in blender since. I installed the drivers from AMD's website, and ROCm.

I am unsure and totally overwhelmed as to what could cause these issues. ~~ChatGPT always wants me to edit /etc/default/grub, but I am not sure why and what the bootloader has got to do with it?~~

These are quite a lot of questions and few information. If you need anything I am more than happy to provide any information.

Sys Info

  • Linux Mint Cinnamon 22

  • Linux Kernel 6.8

  • CPU AMD Ryzen 7 5800X

  • GPU AMD Navi 33 Radeon 7600 XT

  • RAM 16GB @3600mHz | 36GB Swap

I'd like to quote my awsome history teacher here: "People went to the camp on a sunday stroll, looking at the victims as if it were a zoo"

Another great example: A Wehrmacht troop is tasked with pillaging a village. The officers clearly state that this will include killing women and children. They explain that every soldier has the right to refuse to take part in this and will not face any consequences. Out of a hundred less then ten men refuse.

Also, the people from concentration camps were used as forced laborours. They were led through towns like callte in the morning when their shift started, and led back the same route after their shift ended.

People knew what the regime was doing. To varying degrees, surely, but with all the xenophobic propaganda, the burning of books, "entartete Kunst", the deportation of millions of people I find it hard to believe that people were that clueless. Because after all, the NSDAP didn't try to hide it. They wrote it on their banners all proud.

I really hope you can open up to someone about your home life. Someone you can trust. I don't know what faith you have, but maybe the pastor, preacher etc. could be a person of trust? I know that in my home country they are obligated to keep your confessions private under any circumstances. Or maybe there's an institution for victims of domestic violence nearby? I know this may sound frightning at first or you might feel ashamed for one reason or another. But I hope you can take this step to get some outside help for your situation. You deserve to be safe. You deserve to be happy.

I am running Linux Mint 22 with Cinnamon v6.2.9 on kernel v6.8.0-53-generic and would like to upgrade to a newer kernel. I tried via the update Manager, but the newest kernel listed is the one already in use and I am wondering why?

  • Are the kernels listed based on my hardware?
  • Is my Cinnamon version too old for newer kernels?
  • Is my Mint Version too old for newer kernels?
  • Do I need to update my BIOS? I was too scared to do that in the past three years I owned my system.

Here are my specs:

  • CPU AMD Ryzen 7 5800x
  • GPU nVidia GTX 1060 6GB
  • 16 GB RAM @ 3600mHz
  • MoBo MSI B550 A-Pro

I quite new to Linux and don't really know what I am doing. Therefore, if you need any other information I'll be happy to provide it.

Dev Experiences with AMD GPU (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 5 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I hope it's okay to ask this question here, since it seems to differ a little from general posts.

I am currently looking to upgrade my workstation GPU and AMD's pricing is far better suited for my budget. But I worry a lot about the driver stability, since I witnessed some true horror stories with AMD drivers back in 2020. I have also read that they've gotten a lot better in the meantime.

So if you happen to use an AMD GPU: How was your experience with productivity software (Unity, UE, Maya, blender etc.) so far?

[-] [email protected] 29 points 6 months ago

I personally don't see the value. If I'd want to talk about stuff, I don't want my username associated with, maybe

  • the internet is not the right place to have this discussion or
  • I wouldn't want it associated to my account by any means, so would most likely create a burner account.

I also wonder if it wouldn't make moderation harder?

This beckons the questions if the Borg have backups of the hivemind to roll back to, just in case.

[Solved]PC froze, now what? (discuss.tchncs.de)
submitted 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

What do I do, when my PC freezes?

Windows has ctrl+alt+del, does Linux Mint has something comparable? The only thing I know about is REISUB, but that borked my PC, so I am hesitant to use that again.

Are there any remaining alternatives to waiting and/or using the power button?

Edit: Thank you all for your insights and possible fixes. Crashes usually happened when I was running (cpu/ram?) heavy workload. Increasing swap space was not even on my radar, so I did that now. :) Hopefully Mint will run more stable now.

Hi there, I am currently looking for a replacement for my GTX1060.

existing hardware

  • CPU AMD Ryzen 7 5800x

  • RAM 16GB DDR4 @3600mHz

  • Motherboard MSI b550a-pro

  • PSU 750W

  • Usecase: Unreal Engine 5 and Jedi Fallen Order are the most expensive things I can think of

  • Budget ~300€

  • OS Linux Mint (Linux Kernel 6.8)

  • I was originally thinking about going with an AMD RX7600 since it's cheap and meets the recommended specs for Unreal Engine 5 (8GB VRAM, Raytracing).

    Asking in other forums the intel Arc B580 was recommended. It looks promising, but since Arc GPUs are quite new, I am worried about compatibility and stability.

    Are any of you using an Arc GPU at the moment and what are your experiences in Linux, primarily with productivity?

    How stable are the drivers in your experience?

    Could you recommend going with intel or sticking to AMD for the best experience?

    Jetzt um die Weihnachtszeit suche ich zum kochen/backen einen Sahneersatz auf Mandelbasis, werde aber leider nicht fündig. Ich erinnere mich, dass Supermärkte wie Rewe und Edeka die früher zu 100% hatten. Inzwischen find ich gar nichts mehr in die Richtung. Benutzt ihr Mandelsahne, und wenn ja, wo kauft ihr sie?

    Hi there, I started using Linux Mint Cinnamon a few days ago and am currently setting up my workspace, that includes software I can't find through the integrated Software Manager

    My biggest issue is that I don't understand how to determine if software is compatible with Mint. Often devs declare their product to be compatible with ubuntu. Since Linux Mint is based on ubuntu, does that make the software automatically compatible?
