  • I don’t have much experience with AMD gpus on Arch.

    I was looking at the Arch AMD GPU wiki page and it looks like you might also need to run

    pacman -S vulkan-radeon lib32-vulkan-radeon mesa lib32-mesa xf86-video-amdgpu
    

    But admittedly there’s a lot about AMD GPU drivers I don’t understand. Like how to verify your driver in installed correctly.

    You might also want to try out amdgpu_top or radeontop to monitor what the GPU is doing.

    Would need a bit more context too help diagnose.

    First question is if you’re HDMI or DisplayPort cable is actually plugged into the GPU or if it’s plugged into the monitor.

    Now depending on your desktop environment (DE), you should be able to verify what aspect ratio your display is actually set to by going to your display settings. Again this depends on your DE, how to do this in gnome is different than how to do it in kde.

    You can also verify if your game is set to output 2160p (4k). Sometimes game settings get reset depending on the game. Also make sure the game is actually using your GPU. Maybe try a linux native game like super tux cart just to help diagnose the issue.

    Also how did you verify that you have the latest drivers for your gpu

    My guess is that if a 4090 is bottlenecked 5% on pcie 3.0 (although I think it’s closer to 10%). Also if pcie 4.0 is double the speed as 3.0, and pcie 5.0 is double 4.0. Then the bottleneck will be closer to 10% if running a 5080 on pcie 3.0.




  • If someone is complaining about windows, or raising privacy concerns that Linux would solve, or just talking about price options, then I think it’s perfectly fair to mention Linux.

    Right now the biggest issue with Linux is that some software is not made for it. With more Linux market share, devs have a higher incentive to build software for Linux. Like imagine if videogame devs didn’t think they needed windows to work, or Mac to run adobe.







  • I used to think this way. Until I found that with emacs you can edit any file on an SSH enabled computer remotely. Meaning that not only are you no longer constrained by what the computer has installed. But you can use your personality configured editor while editing that file. It’s called tramp.

    BTW, with Emacs you can use vim key bindings evil-mode, so don’t stress about that.
