I have no idea how you’re not having trouble with this.
select “use proprietary drivers” and it always works
You’re assuming that it “always” happens because it happens for you. It simply does not. Everyone in this thread agreeing with me is not just stupid.
e.g “being stuck buying only amd kit”
For the third time, not a consequence. Consequence implies some sort of sacrifice.
Oh no, absolutely nothing else to add.
Excellent, glad to hear it. 👍
This is the literal definition of a consequence
…what is?
Fucking hell…
…was there something you wanted to add?
you’re limited to systems that use an AMD chip
Once again, not a consequence.
I don’t think - I know.
You know…what? AMD always works out of the box?
But since I install my packages using “apt” they are all managed by dkms and I don’t need to worry about it.
My guy, I don’t even know what these words mean. And with AMD, I don’t have to become a software engineer. It just works.
If you don’t want to learn how the system you use works then you suffer the consequences.
No consequences here. I’m perfectly happy continuing on using AMD.
you just continue to blame nvidia for your own ignorance as I’m sure you will.
It’s nothing to do with my ignorance and everything to do with me simply not want to spend hours upon hours digging through forums and entering commands that do nothing.
Why do you think AMD always work out of the box and people constantly have problems with Nvidia? Is it because they’re “ignorant” or because it’s unnecessarily convoluted?
I said “Regrading their newest chips, I have no clue as of right now.”
You also said “not sure what you mean by Intel.” I was telling you what I meant.
because we really don’t have any significant testing done at low power
Significant? No but we have what I would consider sufficient testing done to say that there is a significant improvement in efficiency, on PAR with Apple and Qualcomm.
You should watch some of the recent drama about Asus and reconsider.
You can get a SFF PC. You can look at the ol’ Optiplex machines where you just slap in a graphics card and away you go.
I see. Can you get something with a relatively recent AMD APU? Like a 7840U or something? These are very similar to Steam Deck APU.
That doesn’t sound remotely like “smooth sailing”…
People are just upset because it’s a closed source driver.
Absolute nonsense. I’ve attempted to install them on several Nvidia devices with no success. Even distros that explicitly state Nvidia support out of the box. Could I have made it work? Maybe. Do I have time to fuck with it? No. Just get AMD and be guaranteed it’ll work. Why bother?
Just because you’ve had a different experience doesn’t invalidate others’.
I honestly don’t know. No one does. Valve is working on it. We have no idea of the current state of their progress. Likely rudimentary. I was commenting purely on the efficiency.
Valve is already working on ARM support.
Intel absolutely has, if you look at the Lunar Lake stuff.
You may not have been but I am. Valve is already working on ARM support.
MSI Claw showed quite abysmal performance
It also didn’t have the new Lunar Lake chips.
Exactly. They’re already working on ARM support.
Nothing yet surpassed Zen2 low power efficiency in the SD.
Qualcomm, Intel and AMD have all released chips that blow it out of the water.
Snapdragon Elite, HX 370, 238V, etc.
No.
E: why am I being downvoted for answering a question?
My experience (and many others’) has been contradictory to yours. AMD, on the other hand, pretty much always works without any fuss.
Some people like to pretend, for whatever reason, that this is a “skill issue” despite it being well-documented for several decades, and regularly called out by the inventor of Linux himself.
No. Not like that. You’re pathetic. Goodbye.
