[Need help] Poor games performance on new Linux install
  • I'd like to be able to say it'll work, I've been gaming on Linux for years and just finished Doom Eternal at 5120x1440 at 120fps

    But I have the previous generation top end cpu and gpu, 16 core something and a 5900xt iirc, so we can't quite compare

    One thing I did notice though is that your cpu seems weirdly overloaded? Or at least, the windows values are very different from the Linux ones? Are you dual booting? Or did you maybe reset something in the bios whilst switching?

    Just wondering if you might be looking in the wrong place

    Is that cpu one of those with an embedded gpu? That you're maybe running the wrong hardware?

    Nm, looked it up, it's a mobile cpu, no idea unfortunately

  • No more code headers?
  • A header might be useful, although there's likely better ways to (not) document what each sql statement does.

    But inline documentation? I'd suggest trying to work around that. Here's an explanation as to why: https://youtu.be/Bf7vDBBOBUA

    If possible, and as much as possible, things should simply make enough sense to be self documenting. With only the high level concepts actually documented. Everything else is at risk to be outdated or worse, confuse

  • No sure about 64gb, but for performance/watt and reliable Linux I can really recommend the Amd p16s and t16(s?) machines from Lenovo. Have about seven in the office and they are excellent.

    I too, as someone in devops, am wondering what you need that much memory for. Do you simply really like VMs? :)

    Also, have you considered doing the really heavy stuff remotely? Whenever I need desktop type power (16 physical cores and 128gb memory) I simply wake the desktop, ssh into it and do it there.

  • I had an extreme, as nice as it was it kind of sucked on Linux due to all the dual gpu weirdness (working hdmi or battery longevity, pick one)

    Has this changed recently? Because it used to be due to the wiring of hdmi though the external gpu
