Anecdotally it seems to have a similar drain rate to my laptop, around 10% a day in sleep (though I would recommend actually verifying this yourself to be sure). So if you want to conserve battery life, turning it off is the way to go
Ahh right, good point
But as far as I understand, it’s designed to be a Vulkan layer. I’m pretty sure they can be installed under the user’s home directory at ~/.local and picked up by Mesa automatically
And we’re all the better for it! Needs polish and development of course, but it’s a decent alternative already
I mean, leaving aside their surveillance tasks, it’s still their job to ensure national security. It’s in their best interest to keep at least themselves and their nation safe, and considering how prevalent Linux is on servers, they likely saw a net benefit this way. They even open sourced their reverse engineering toolkit Ghidra in a similar vein
AFAIK: Development at AMD funded the dev to make it support AMD GPUs (instead of the then-supported Intel GPUs), Dev keeps a clause saying any and all work will remain open even if contract is cancelled, work is then halted by AMD and dev releases his updates on his repo, Legal then says later that the clause was not legally binding and can’t be enforced or such, making dev rollback to earlier Intel version
Just gotta invoke skynetctl
It was initially intended to be a video stream handler, but they had concerns with audio syncing. They figured they might as well also handle audio in one cohesive AV server instead
Hyprland, Wayland native Tiling WM
source ~/.bash_history
I don’t know for sure though, because in theory they keep the core powered down during suspend sleep so in theory there really shouldn’t be any power draw aside from the memory modules. However you’re right that there’s some noticeable difference for some reason
