Steam ended 2021 with a slightly lower Linux user share ending the recent growth

Quoting: BlackBloodRumWith regards to the cache thing, I was referring to this:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215137 [External Link]

Little bugs like this :D

I tend to notice them more since I currently run the latest of everything (newest kernels, drivers etc) with all updated daily.
Must have been luck for me to have had that bug, On 5.15.12 atm :grin:

I've not bothered with RC kernels for a while.

OpenRGB gets greatly expanded hardware support in the 0.7 release

If I am to be brutal it's just not up to the task for keyboards, Yes it can do the RGB but very basic, Openrgb is demonstrably better. thing with the g915 after 5 mins or so it reverts back to it's default profile.

Regards the actual Keyboard, piper is just not up to it. At the end of the day piper was/is aimed at mice.

Quoting: F.Ultraedit: Missed that support for G915 was new in this version of OpenRGB so don't know if support is better or worse in OpenRGB vs Piper.
I've ran the git on both for some time.

Just to clarify I AM NOT BASHING piper, It's purely aimed at mice and only recently branched out into keyboards from what I can gather.

Can be fun at times, Though I've not had an issue on Nix for a lot of years hardware wise. (x11 with vrr aside)
Nor software, Decent support for my new logitech KB/Mouse is the only thing that I can state. Guess I was spoiled with the roccat stuff

Quoting: BlackBloodRumwhole new set of epic problems like kernel bugs where drive cache status isn't detected properly, ssd controller problems etc
Not heard of that before if am honest, I ditched NV during my gtx1080 days. Finally got fed up with them.

The G915 is very buggy on *nix, Due to the fact Logitech thought it would be a good idea to NOT use the onboard memory by default for the profiles ect. Just a FYI the keyboard itself works fine, its the lighting/profiles thats not.

I did setup a vm to use Ghub, What a peace of crap that is. For some weird reason if you set it to onboard mode it greys out most of the options :cry:

May have been spoiled by my roccat gear as that worked flawless due to the roccat-tools ect. :sad:

Sorry all , rant over!
