Yeah, it’s not the worst thing in the world, just makes things awkward.

I do really like the idea of flatpack, I’m 110% in on containers, probably too much. There are just compromises that ned to be made today.

Flatpack and password managers. They’ll oil and water.

And that PR is already shipped, the community works fast!

Edit: I tried a 4bit quant of this model and it is probably one of the worst/most benchmaxxed models I’ve seen. Reasoning is quite bad, recall of facts is bad, reading and digesting content is bad. But it is fast.

Anyone get this working in llama.cpp yet?

I know flash attention and PyTorch have patchy support.

do you know how insane it is their official guides don’t work with kernel point updates?

https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/5824

This has been an issue for a long time.

I have to maintain a file of which specific kernel+os+firmware versions I’m on and have downgraded to just to get the most popular ML library in the world to du a matrix multiply.

I don’t get how this bug gets into production branch, let alone shipped requiring firmware downgrades, on their new line of GPUs/chips. How do they not test their latest hardware with their own firmware?

I don’t know how the immich ml works, but if you’re going LLMs stick to llama.cpp.

going beyond that, I’ve had serious kernel bugs with PyTorch and onnx that are still unresolved. The most popular ML/AI frameworks basically don’t work due to drivers for me.

Vulkan flows are fine and generally comparable in speed so far, so if there’s a vulkan option try rock first then revert to vulkan.

God after buying an amd machine last year I’m never doing it again.

What are you trying to use rocm for? Their own guides don’t work.

I have 9 backups.

After that I have to resort to crime and cryogenics.

Cat magic

They reject your physics and use their own.

SSH keys are so nice

I’ve got mine hooked into my password manager so it’s as easy as scanning my fingerprint to use (password manager locks on sleep and after a timeout).

Those eyes just say “I am a fancy boy, please return my puffy pants”

lol

Yeah, I’m aiming for self sufficiency and to reduce as much as I can.

Obviously on the internet you’re not never self sufficient, but liberating my data, owning my domain, and avoiding subscriptions is good.

I’m excited that someone is breaking Google’s monopoly on Linux browsers.

You can have any flavour of browser you want, as long as it’s a chrome reskin or funded by Google.

At least WebKit isn’t wholly funded by ads, as Mozilla/Gecko and Chrome are.

I’ve used Orion on macOS iOS and it was nice to have

Why do they like toilet time so much?

My cat yells if I stay up too late, but only because I’m depriving him of bathroom time together.

I just traded all my yamok sauce for self stealing stem bolts

“Premium Lite”

lol

Fedora atomic is atomic though

Then why is it a flatpak?

And it was a terrible idea, but on atomic distros it’s that or adding it to the os tree.

Linux is good, the core OS has been great for a long long time (decades). It’s just the desktop environment situation that has sucked, and, of course, gaming before proton.

If you want to play games Bazzite actually does work pretty well. I went back to Fedora though and I literally spent hours trying to fix issues with just the Steam flatpak (it was overwriting my controller mappings every open). If you’re a gamer just stick with Bazzite.

I think I’m destined to for NixOS though, as my least favourite thing about linux is doing sudo fooctl enable bloopblorp and having no clear log/information about what exact state the system is in.

Yes, I just wasn’t happy with the state of my machine. It felt like there were too many parts I didn’t understand, so I wanted to clear it all out and simplify systems.
