Actually i dont think ubuntu or their derivatives are to blame here. The issues started after the big new ui update to steam. Somebody did raise the issue with valve and there is a thread on the bug but it seems they arent particularly interested in fixing the issue(maybe because it does not affect that many users?). Also once the command has been added, the experience should be just as smooth as normal. Why do you characterise it as just tolerable?
Please also mention that the reason the Nouveau is slow is not because of incompetence rather it is because nvidia only allows drivers signed by them to be able the change clocks of their GPUs(at least the fairly modern ones) and hence Nouveau can only run the GPU at base clock. This is being rectified now(after like almost a decade iirc) as nvidia is adding their proprietary firmware to the kernal which will then allow Nouveau to control the GPU clockspeed. Also NVK is being developed to provide vulkan support for nvidia GPUs through the open source driver(Nouveau)
Add DRI_PRIME=1 %command% to the game’s launch option in steam. That will make the game run using the dGPU.
Also dont run steam using the dGPU. There is some bug in some ubuntu or ubuntu based amd+amd systems where the steam client crashes when opened with the dGPU. Open the client with the iGPU and use the command mentioned earlier to make the game run using the dGPU
Thanks. Will keep this in mind when selecting the languages
Ok. Thanks for the info. We seem to be encountering different issues then.
Cheers. Thanks for all the help
I am sorry but it’s seems you have misunderstood. Was your issue limited to only the sync app or was it occurring both on the app and the website
Ohh okay thanks. And if I do select any languages, can I go back to this all languages default by unselecting the selected languages¿?
I don’t see an option for all languages. I have selected none of the options and yet I am seemingly able to see all posts. I just was enquiring because I have some comments not load up in the sync app(edit - I can these when using lemmy-ui or others apps like oyager though) and I am trying to ascertain if this a sync issue or an issue of how I have setup lemmy
Is this the same as the undetermined option¿? Also I am guessing this does not apply to comments.
I know this comment is tremendously late but I am having a similar issue while using sync. By website so you mean the official instance website(example - https://lemmy.one/ )
Thank you. Forget to type that out when I was writing the comment.
Riddle me this - Some people’s argument against using telegram is that it is not as secure as WhatsApp(which on face value is true because WhatsApp is E2E encrypted while telegram is not E2E encrypted). Other people claim that only hackers and terrorists use telegram and that is why they don’t use telegram. My question is why are people like hackers and terrorists using telegram in the first place if it has worse security while having no upsides for these kinds of individuals.
Infinity for reddit
I think you mean infinity for lemmy
How do you donate to the linux kernel team(for a lack of a better term). kernel.org does not have any links to donation and neither does the linux foundation
Archlinux + EndeavourOS
Lemmy Devs + Instance admin
Gnome
Voyager
Wine
Mangohud
Ublock origin
Pipewire
https://lemmy.one/post/151466 - This post may help you with issues you face with launching steam.
I too have have an amd+amd laptop(MSI bravo 15 with 5600h+5500m) and I don’t have any issues with switching from integrated graphics to dedicated graphics. The kernel decides itself(with help from the program running I am guessing) whether the iGPU or dGPU needs to be used. I face absolutely no freezing issues or issues in general related to graphics switching.
What might be possibly causing your random freezes and stutters is the AMD fTPM. It’s random number generator function is known to cause stuttering and freezing on both windows and Linux. AMD made several futile attempts at solving the issue before Linus ranted about it and then AMD disabled the RNG functionality. But almost all these patches are part of kernel 6.x series so maybe they have not made it downstream to the lts kernel you are running on(not surprising considering how much of a burden it seems supporting old kernels is). If possible, you could disable fTPM from the bios and see if that fixes your general freezing issues. Though I have to warn you that TPM is needed for secure boot(I think) and is used by some password managers for secure password storage so you might lose functionality by turning off the fTPM. Moving to a more modern distro which uses a newer kernel(6.4.7 and above iirc) may also help.
Also out of curiosity, why is your GPU being shown as 5600 or 5600xt. I am assuming that you have a 5600m
