It’s a security thing to have that warning. You’re not supposed to be able to bypass it for a reason.

If you don’t have the warning you can just relock the bootloader, but updates probably won’t work.

Relock the bootloader.

Core 100 series was out at the end of 2023. The LPE cores shouldn’t have been an issue.

Bleeding edge hardware slower on an older Linux distro. In other news water is wet.

That said it being that bad is legitimately impressive. It’s not like core 100 series where they changed from P + E to LP + P + E cores to shake things up. The 200 series shouldn’t be *that *different from it.

That’s the other thing. My new computer is a Mac Studio which takes up almost no space, and uses like 10-15 watts. Because I can just turn off my gaming computer when I’m not using it I’m saving significantly more power. Like just your CPU at idle uses more than the entire Mac actually doing things.

AMDs dual CCD CPUs tend to perform worse than their single ccd models in games. You can “fix” that by running the game only on one, and push everything else to the second. But I’d much rather not deal with that. A second computer is much easier.

Plus I can fuck with computer A when computer B is still doing other things without interrupting. That alone is worth it.

Also if you’re in a game and you have a video running that taking GPU horsepower. I’m not going to have a second GPU just to avoid that.

Performance. I’m a heavy multi tasker and I want nothing to get in the way of my frame rate.

For context my old second machine was a 2018 Mac mini with an 8th Gen. i5 and 32 gigs of ram. It wasn’t enough.

I have two computers at my main desk at home. One is exclusively used for gaming, the other is used for everything else. In theory Bazzite is perfect for me.

Ok. But this this is a post in a Linux community. So one might assume it’s targeted towards Linux users.

Lineage OS supports the Pixel tablet. But they don’t seem to be very cheap used even though it’s a couple years old.

thanks to work by Valve

AMD did nothing to make their drivers better, Vale did.

What model came out in 2022? The newest I could find was the GT 1010 from 2021 (which is more of a video adapter than an actual graphics card) but that’s the exception. The bulk of them came out in 2016 and 2017 https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/?f=architecture_Pascal

Hate to break it to ya, but 2020 was 5 years ago. More than half of these GPUs lifespan ago. Nvidia is a for profit company, not your friend. You can’t expect them to support every single product they’ve ever released forever. And they’re still doing better than AMD in that regard.

Pascal is coming up on 10 years old. You can’t expect companies to support things forever.

There’s swipe if that counts.

1st Gen. Ryzen had the worst memory controller known to man. What made it worse is that memory speed dramatically affected performance on those CPUs. Anything over 2133 was a blessing.

There’s no reason why a 32 gig stick of ram should be less stable than an 8. Your ram is defective. Ask for a replacement.

This is a steam deck, a game console, not a normal computer. If your taskbar is visible 70% of the time I question what you’re doing with the device.

Maybe they like bugs that make their controller incompatible with other systems other than the manufacturers.

Yeah my OG xbone controllers got numerous firmware updates.

The phone shouldn’t be “heating up in your pocket doing nothing”. Something is running in the background that’s destroying it. Check battery usage and see what it is.
