Aside from free software or not, Fedora is to blame for not curating the Power version. Ubuntu with Gnome 40 is something else entirely, continuing at this rate I will remove Fedora from my hard disks because it is shameful!

In any case, looking closer at the application I used, I saw that the line where you can put lines was empty and I inserted that line you told me MPC, so I think I have not replaced anything at the end. Then I repeat I don't know how that application works, I should better understand how to use it and how to add that line correctly ...

I just tried to carry out this procedure but it can no longer be used because some parts are now missing, I had to imagine it in reality ... I would like to understand at this point what procedure uses for example @TLE, to obtain now as now the Chromium code to be able to then fill in ... Now you have to get the unofficial one of course ...
As for the development of Firefox or Chromium, from what I currently see is that Firefox continues not to be at the height of the situation, some sites do not load them, for that famous lack of jit, while instead Chromium still loads everything and well, so to date unfortunately, Chromium is the only really good browser on Power whether we like it or not! We must therefore do something so that there is a development or one or the other but real, otherwise we risk no longer having a decent browser for our systems ... I don't understand why Google has made this move, Chromium is an open source project therefore free and developable if I'm not mistaken so why suddenly boycott our version? What have we done to Google? It seems absurd to me ... We still need a browser that is up to par and today Firefox is still not, there is little to do!

Ok but sorry how do I tell that application to add and not replace? I've never used it so I don't know how it works, I just did a test and I don't know how to actually add this line ... If you see the photo there isn't a part that makes you understand if that line is addition or if it is doing a replacement ... I don't quite understand how to use this application honestly ...Obviously I'm not saying that Classic told me to replace it, I'm just saying that I didn't understand how to add it and how you understand that instead I'm actually replacing it ...

Guys good evening, unfortunately the first attempt didn't succeed. I have had the procedure that posted the friend classic and I inserted that row that my friend mpc told me but unfortunately things worsen as well because the gpu goes out at a certain point ... in the picture you see what I did , I set the kernel 5.15.2 and I inserted that row. Maybe I have to change something else I don't know is that it is not at time unfortunately ... all this I am trying on Debian 11 where anyway there is the same software to change the grub or grub customizer ...

Guys I tried to install graphene following the procedure that MPC has posted but nothing changes in Fedora 35, always sucks the same way it does. Is it necessary to do some other passage that I have not seen? Do you have to do some activation for this Graphene to work?

But then excuse me, using the wiki procedure that Raptor published last year, are you still unable to get the sources for the new version of Chromium today? I wanted to understand if by doing that procedure I can get the latest version or not ...

Hi Borley, the main problem was that I couldn't figure out how to get the updated firmware installed, then I figured it out and I succeeded and at that point the GPU started normal. I was missing some repositories that once entered, they updated and automatically made me update the firmware.

Guys sorry, I understand what you are saying but the fact remains that to date, Chromium is the only browser that works without problems on Power there is little to do. Firefox still lacks the strength of Chromium and whether we want it or not, that's the way it is. In my opinion we must have Chromium on Power and it also seems strange to me that you Raptor tell me about Firefox when you were the first to support Chromium on Power ... What should you do to get the new sources after version 87? If there is a pod, let's use it and continue to carry on what is currently the only complete and totally usable browser on Power ... In my opinion at the moment there is nothing else we can do ... new sources ...

But have any of you installed this graphene on Fedora 34 or 35 and noticed the actual improvement?

TLE, it will also be true that they do not have Power machines to detect any bugs but I do not think that Canonical of Ubuntu has more machines to test the desktop versions considering also that Ubuntu on Power does not have workstation versions while Fedora for some years has ... Yet Ubuntu from the software optimization side I saw that it is the best in direct comparison with Fedora and Debian ... Gnome 40 on Ubuntu is fine, runs well without problems!

Sorry, you mean I have to make this line become: ~] # grubby --set-default /boot/vmlinuz-5.15.fc35.ppc64le? Would this be the change to be made to get it started with the AMD GPU?

Shark sorry, it means that I have to go to that path file you wrote me to eventually change the value and bring it to 0 as Classic says, I understand correctly?

Ok Classic, I just have to understand the exact procedure to do it too.  I remember well that when we first made these Navi work, for example, we changed a line in the petit Boot.  After loading, go to the command line and type this command: # nvram -p ibm, skiboot --update-config fast-reset = 0 # nvram -p ibm, skiboot --print-config "ibm, skiboot" Partition     
Now this has always been set on my motherboard, what else needs to be done, how exactly do you proceed from Petit Boot and which command should you enter? Thanks

Hi Sharkcz, so you too have noticed that changes have been made starting from version 5.14 onwards, which have affected the functioning of AMD GPUs. Is it possible to hope for a correction in good times of this problem in the Linux Kernel by the Kernel team? I had written about the problem, already at the beginning of version 5.14 and therefore I tried to make everyone aware of this problem but at the time, unfortunately few followed me ...
