Operating Systems and Porting / Re: [NEWS] Fedora 39 is here!

« on: November 10, 2023, 02:25:21 pm »

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.

yeah i dont know what they did but the merge is broken for ppc64le somehow. Either way me and the other guy gave up and theres another project called IX-ray that should have better support down the line.

Why a W7600 and not a RX7600XT?

I’d guess lower power requirements, better binned silicon, and less likelihood of firmware gremlins. That’s been my experience - it can be a roll of the dice with some consumer cards. I had a Sapphire RX 6600 that flat out wouldn’t run stably in ppc64le and had visual artifacts, but an XFX card’s been running without issue or incident for me since kernel 6.1.

this and single slot, blower cooler, and looks better and well not much point of a new gamer card imo.

yeah i'd like to get the w7600. Should be good enough for the few games that can run on POWER

I compiled it with a newer version of GCC, what error are you getting

General CPU Discussion / Re: Power10 announcement from Raptor soon?

« on: October 03, 2023, 08:18:36 pm »

I am pretty stoked to hear of the great news. I'd love to see:

* PCIe 5 support
* NVMe built-in slots
* at least 2 USB C ports
* Power Management (proper Hibernation)

ps/2 port is what I'd like.

Well, as long as there's a Blackbird 2 I'm excited.

Applications and Porting / Re: [GAMES] Quake 3 source port with Vulkan renderer (vkQuake3)

« on: October 02, 2023, 06:14:40 pm »

I'm pretty sure he's referencing to your own feature request.

its mainly on the discord. The main dev is in ukraine so deals with bombings.

I should add quake3e as it is can compile just fine on ppc64le (after one guy made some hacky build instructions to slap on it), and it performs better than ioquake3 and the like still.

all of the engines currently still use an interpreter for QVM (which means really bad performance, noticeable in the mod CPMA), quake3e plans on having native support for ppc64le eventually.
