Did I do it right?
Pixel 4a owners, what new phone are you buying?
Pixel 4a owners, what new phone are you buying? - Lemmy.world
As of last month, the Pixel 4a is no longer getting software updates, and will be missing out on Android 14. It was a really great phone, mine still runs very well. It has a smooth, stock Android install, a headphone jack, and a perfectly positioned fingerprint scanner. My battery is still at 2/3 capacity compared to when I bought it 3 years ago. Really wanted to try a custom ROM like Lineage, but it seems that Google Apps are a must for me. So, what should I replace my 4a with? Currently leaning towards the Pixel 8 or 7a, especially with the rumor that Pixel 8 will have 7 years of software updates. Still, I will miss my headphone jack. But at least I’ll have quick software updates and call screening.
How likely is this to work? KVM/VFIO Single GPU Passthrough
How likely is this to work? KVM/VFIO Single GPU Passthrough - Lemmy.world
I’ve been wanting to make a proper switch over to Linux for a while now. I’ve currently have a dual-boot setup but still mostly use Windows. The majority of my games should work without fuss, but I’d like to have a simple solution for running the handful of things that don’t work in Linux, such as my WMR VR headset and a handful of Steam games. Linked is a video on Single GPU passthrough with KVM/VFIO, which I’d like to try. Before I try this, I’d like a sense of how likely it is to work, and I’m wondering if there might be a better solution I don’t know of. I’m also open to any tips you might have about speeding up the transition between Host/Guest OS. Here are the specs of my machine: Motherboard: MSI B550 A-Pro CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (no integrated graphics) GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 RAM: 32GB DDR4 3200MHz Host OS: Manjaro Guest OS: Windows 10 Pro
How low should graphics settings go?
How low should graphics settings go? - Lemmy.world
Lately we’ve been talking about games not performing well enough on current hardware. It’s had me wondering just what we should be asking for. I think the basic principle is that components from the last 5 years should be adequate to play current-generation titles at 1080p60. Not at max settings, of course, but certainly playable without resorting to DLSS and FSR. It makes me wonder: is it really so much to ask? There are games from 10+ years ago that still look great or at least acceptable. Should we expect new games like Starfield to be configurable to be as demanding as an older game like Portal 2 or CS:GO. If the gameplay is what really matters, and games of the 2010s looked good then, why can’t we expect current games to be configurable that low? From what I’ve seen, users of the GTX 1070 need to play Starfield at 720p with FSR to get 60fps. What’s better? Getting 60fps by playing at 720p with FSR, or playing at 1080p with reduced texture resolution and model detail? It shouldn’t even be that hard to pull off. It should be possible to automatically create lower detail models and textures, and other details can just be turned off.
