Lenovo Explorer. I don’t play VR games really, but it’s fun when my little nephews visit (the A770 handles simple games like Beat Saber well). Outer Wilds in VR seemed like a good time to dust of the headset but it’s a bit too stuttery. I didn’t look for any type of fix or optimization though.

But if you’re serious about VR gaming Intel Arc is not a good idea for now. However on /r/intelarc some report good results, saying it varies from game to game.

I’m testing it in VR, the modder did an amazing job. Unfortunately my GPU absolutely blows with VR games (Intel Arc A770)

I haven’t been convicted!

no, wait

if it’s the laid back linux guy, simply very enthusiastic, I’ll gladly sit next to him

some kind of fanboy, who thinks in terms of us vs them and who makes it his personality then nope

when visiting my dutch family I noticed how faster “vay vay vay” is, so I started thinking vévévé in french instead of “double v” x3 (btw this is a double u : uu) I’ve said it out loud a few times by accident and people don’t question it. I think we all agree it’s a bit silly to pronounce.

…

I have an intense and fascinating life.

I bought a second hand Surface Pro 5 (2017), running Fedora gnome

I’ve started to write a review because I couldn’t really find one, and most of the comments are overly positive (as it often goes on Linux forums I’ve come to realize). It’s not done yet

But I can summarize it: as a tablet it’s not great but it mostly works. It’s certainly not for someone not ready to troubleshoot, and many problems have no, or no great solutions. Also gnome used with touch controls has a major bug (which, again, nobody ever mentions for some reason. It will be in my review)

As a 2 in 1 with little touch use it could be alright. The pen is quite good if you want to draw or write, even though there’s a small delay. The cover is okay, but you’d be better off with a quality laptop keyboard and big trackpad

I bought it mainly for reading, mostly European format comics (bandes dessinées). The resolution is great for that, and the size is good with a reader that removes white margins

Edit: to give you an idea I bought it for 190€ two months ago, with all accessories, good condition and good battery health (which does not mean battery life is good)

I loved Chaotic-AUR when I was using Arch. No waiting to build AUR packages, you know if it works right away.

You have to decide if you trust the source. Personally I’m not worried.

Also if you know how to fix an AUR package you can open a ticket on their github and they will update it immediately most of the time.

And it works brillantly. No more missing pictures like with the fever api.

This app makes me use RSS again

your comment shows us you don’t know how polls are made

why not look it up first and only then comment (if relevant)

maybe if you’re not the one in power you don’t get a taste

You did not read the article

That’s exactly like his name!

Your link is for an iGPU

Here for Intel Arc

From January but it hasn’t improved all that much

The fix for power consumption is changing a setting for ASPM in motherboard (if it supports it) and pluging the monitor in the motherboard directly. It worked for me on windows but not on linux (no workaround AFAIK) This means 40W idling instead of 1W

STOP recommending Intel Arc for Linux, people. Do any of you saying that even own one?

Intel dGPU

That’s not the best idea. Performances are not even close of what they are on Windows
Also there’s an idle power draw issue which can sometimes be fixed on windows but not on linux

What’s up with the giant banner with your username? And will you do an AMA again?

I think it’s the first time I know a mod name.
