So this is Burrs' TV gaming setup now. Was a fun Project - GPD Win 4 2024, Ryzen 7 8840U, 32GB RAM, 4TB NVMe. RX 9070 XT over OCuLink on a Minisforum DEG1 dock. Bazzite.

Getting it here meant writing systemd services to kill PCIe power management before it killed the oculink connection, udev rules to keep OpenRGB from raving on every wake cycle, and a lot of dmesg. Junction temps sit at 60C under load.

For reference, a PS5 Pro runs a Zen 2 CPU from 2020, 16GB RAM, and 2TB of storage. This is a current-gen Zen 4, 32GB RAM, 16GB VRAM, 4TB, an RDNA 4 GPU with roughly 3x the graphics muscle of the PS5 Pro, and the full Switch library. Undocked it's a handheld. Docked it's this science-projecty, but pretty cool little thing.

It seems like GNOME Shell on Wayland doesn't like it if a GPU gets removed during runtime. At least on Bazzite, it threw me back into Gaming Mode and I had to switch to the desktop again, losing all my open windows.

Well, I expected worse, so I had saved my work before. 😄

But that does set some limits on what I can do using some scripts I found on GitHub. In case a Mutter or GNOME dev reads this here: Are there any plans to gracefully switch between GPUs during runtime?

TECH POP QUIZ! What'ya think? 🤔

👉 #OCuLink #eGPU for #Linux #Steam #Gaming - sightseeing mode?
👉 PCIe Gen4 x4, on a #Minisforum UM780XTX / Ryzen 7840HS octa.

(edit) I'm looking for an adequate GPU. Certainly not #nVidia, for obvious enough reasons!

I'm not sure about the #Intel #Arc and #AMD #Radeon options.

I do enjoy a re-sell value, and i want to minimise RAM swapping - those precious 4 lanes need to talk geometry, not textures.

1440p + "fake frames" is a short term goal.
