Operating Systems and Porting / Re: Debian 12 status?
« on: November 19, 2024, 04:48:10 pm »
It is really sad that so many people are suffering because of the politics in Debian. It is really bad for people who spent money on the Raptor hardware and it is also really bad for my family, friends, neighbors and many other people who had these political problems forced upon them by the social media set.
all i know is the installer was broken, i'm sure it still is lol

Third Party CPU Discussion / Re: Why haven't we seen boards with Power9 / MicroWatt?
« on: September 02, 2024, 02:28:46 pm »I completely agree with Classic, I don't think Risc V can compete with the Power architecture, let's say it's a world apart.That's why I went with raptor, riscv just isn't suitable for a desktop imo.

Applications and Porting / Re: Medal of Honor: Allied Assault War Chest (OpenMoHAA)

I think you should try it.
Below are some details:QuoteThe main goal of OpenMoHAA is to ensure the future and continuity of Medal of Honor: Allied Assault. It has always been a dream in the community to provide patches and security fixes for the game. Thanks to the ioquake3 project, F.A.K.K SDK and other quality tools,
OpenMoHAA allows people to fix many issues, and this project reached this state without access to the source code.
I don't have a power system currently. I played this game back in the day because it had a linux port, but I liked RTCW and day of defeat a lot more heh... I'm not very interested in it though. Whenever raptor sells power10 systems i'll maybe go back to messing with half life 2 and stalker etc. main thing for me is better support for the ISA from ezQuake and Quake3e.

since this is quake 3 engine i imagine it'd still have the same issues with QVM etc in regards to performance

User Zone / Re: Fedora or Suse ppc
« on: August 27, 2024, 02:15:24 pm »
i don't think alot of people use opensuse. I did when I had a blackbird, leap was pretty good I liked it more than fedora but codecs for video playback were a problem unsure if that's resolved now. There was also the issue of missing libraries in the repo needed to build software on occasion. When I used leap I had to use a newer kernel for some ppc64le patches/updates that weren't in the standard mainline leap kernel. Tumbleweed is pretty incomplete, it's near unusable for a desktop imo. Fedora had more software support but I wasn't really a fan of it, it had problems with my mouse when clocked at 1000hz and just didnt feel as solid/stable. most people tend to use fedora or debian though. I used a blackbird as a main desktop, it's not super different from x86 linux imo.

Quake3e still needs a bytecode compiler for ppc64le if you were still interested in helping with that.

when I had my blackbird I only ever used the 64k page size but I wonder if some applications would've performed better or didn't crash under 4k, this was mostly game software stuff but maybe some other things as well. I suppose i'll mess with it whenever power10 rolls around.

who knows, there's some cheaper surplus offerings on ebay and the like. maybe they'll do a liquidation sale on the older boards whenever the new stuff rolls out

« on: November 11, 2023, 11:23:12 pm »
also, since 38 (now on 39) My mouse skips and drops when I use it at 1000hz, this wasn't an issue on openSUSE leap or tumbleweed.

I'm on fedora 38 now and I'm not a fan of it, wish I could go back to opensuse so I hope 39 is a better experience.
EDIT: and i just tried to upgrade to 39 twice and it failed both times.
