[mirkodiciano]

the gains in kernels 6.12 and 6.13 are looking good for AMD users

[LinuxIsForAll]

great video as always man, it feels good knowing all the improvements happening on my OS 💪🏻

[kommanderkeen]

Man, your work is amazing. Thanks for sharing

[DiscoParachute]

Was decently surprised with the kernel improvements (I was also missing the amd-ucode package), STALKER 2 running a lot better now

[lltalionll]

Nice, i upgraded to a 5700X3D in october and to a 7800 XT yesterday so i can't wait for 6.13 (from 3600X + 5700 XT since 2020).

Linux is perfect for AMD user, a true plug & play and smooth experience even after an upgrade unlike another OS...

Happy to see some of these features were already backported to CachyOS a while ago (few months?). And kernel 6.12 is also available now.

[Vitis-nv]

I just want to point out that the main point for DRM panic is having the ability to display the kernel panic screen. Currently if you get a kernel panic while a graphical session is running X11 or Wayland it just freezes on the last frame and you get no output of the kernel panic message, making debugging difficult. DRM panic enables the kernel to draw over the graphical session and display error message whether it's a wall of text or a QR code even over a frozen graphical session so you actually get some error output as opposed to just freeze. So people (mostly on the phoronix forums) that say we don't need BSOD in linux should read what the thing is even supposed to do before b*tching about it. It's a great feature and it's absolutely needed. /rantover

[happygofishing]

im excited for the DRM panic message because users of distros like gentoo and custom kernel users will probably be able to create their own custom "tux screens of death"

[achaziel]

the better support for touch rings/strips on graphics tablets is very exciting for me. while my tablet does offer an X11 driver, it doesn't work in wayland sessions - and I kinda need to run wayland due to its better handling of ICC profiles, so this is very exciting indeed.

[xzaratulx]

I can finally disable that zero rpm feature for my rx7800xt 😍
Fan is off for way too long while the RAM is getting quite hot (70°C).
Feel that limits the performance and since everything is fine under windows...

18:35 As far as I understand, both the apu and discrete gpu can use the higher power profiles. However, many apu are used in laptop/mobile workloads, so they care more about power consumption.

[autohmae]

So basically, we've now reached the point where when Linux Torvalds makes code it reaches the news. Interesting how we ended up here. 🙂

[notuxnobux]

I believe the new amd gpu power management profile also fixes a major issue I have with amd. I like to run x11 without a compositor for absolute best latency and smoothness and in that mode the gpu power usage is very low. When I move the cursor around the cursor can sometimes lag, so it doesn't move the amount expected. This means if I move the cursor in a circle it will not move in a circle randomly. It also produces random glitches on the screen. This is an issue with hardware cursor plane in amd drivers.

[ChryptoCrystal]

Will the AMD optimization related changes for 6.13 be enabled on its own once the system updates to 6.13 from a prior kernel or will these changes only be enabled on fresh new installs?

[justiceiria]

What does this mean for linux distros going forward? Will they get updated to this kernel?

[quill]

I really hope that the 6.13 kernel brings better drivers for Intel xe/arc battlemage cause currently it's a bit disappointing with the b580 compartment to Windows

[Eddieddg]

I missed the 6.12 arch kernel so am currently installing 6.12.1

[InnerFire]

I’m using cachyos, but i have to use the alternative LTS kernel which is 6.6, it’s been 3 months now. if i use the latest kernel that’s suggested by the distro my wifi isn’t stable. Just tried 6.12, yup, the connection drops if it’s handling high speed internet traffic for a few minutes and i have to remove the dongle and attach it back

[imcute]

is there's a software for 8bitdo in linux?

[hicder]

do you know how to enable lavd in arch?
