Quoting: Naibno this isn't a joke, the amount of stress and work frontline NHS staff are under is not a joke
I was referring to your 4 on 4 off and not having the time statement!

The thing is, They've always had that stress due in part to cuts ect! It's in the spotlight due to the pandamic. Like I said, both the Mrs and daughter work for the NHS which indecently aren't on a 4 on 4 off scenario.

I'm not trying lightening the situation.

Well, working on bug fixes is surely under their control.
About as much as anyone else working on bug fixes.

Navi was rough on windows too, feels like it wasn't ready for release full stop to me .

Any luck RDNA2 will be in shape, Time will tell.

What issues ? Played a few run through s with mates over the years, Never had problems
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away... well back in 2016 when I bough the game there were lots of disconnect issues, join a windows session was a pain, host a session wasn't good either. I finished the main campaign (single player) and tried to play some coop with no success, then I uninstalled and never touched back, until recently (a week ago maybe) and I'm having a blast.
That odd, never got that myself, did have some bad perf when it was first released iirc

Quoting: ShmerlUpgrade from Navi to Navi 2 (i.e. RDNA 2) would be good. As long as AMD will put more effort into fixing driver bugs faster.
To be honest the oss drivers ain't under their control. No clue what the prop drivers like.

If it's that bad why not go Nvidia !

Not had issues myself personally.

Quoting: NaibNice initiative but if you work for the NHS you unfortunately have no time. They are operating 4on-4off and on those 4off days they are exhausted due to working 14+ hour days

can partners of NHS staff benefit?
I take that as a joke.

Either that or the Mrs and daughter are leaving early and disappearing somewhere else for a day :wink:

Quoting: pete910That explains the mass of updates when I switch my PC on this evening :)
isnt it normal for a rolling release? a 400MB download every 2 weeks.. 200MB are kernel and mesa
No it's not, Normally just some incremental updates. Only when a major release like KDE/Mesa ect updates do you get a largish update.

Even that big update was done in less than two minutes.

there are so many kernel updates. download 100MB... install 300
then mesa, firefox, chrome from AUR, office, DE, etc
Not sure what you're getting at with that comment, Is it a FYI for whats been updated ?

Tell you what has broke though within the last month is dolphin seeing SMB shares. No clue what's caused it.

I was hoping the update to KDE 20.x would fix it but it hasn't for me.

Yes I did try dropping the minimum protocol required to no avail .
