I have a N150 mini PC running F42 (KDE), it runs basically perfectly. N150 is a pretty new CPU so you will need a recent kernel, and F42 already using 6.14, so it is fine (just don't run Debian on it).

However the only thing that worries me is the battery of that tablet. The N150 use around 10-20W under load, and with the 25WHr battery, it probably going to latest around 1 to 2 hours only.

    Interesting, maybe this issue only happens for RDNA3?

    I'm also using F41 with same kernel but with KDE. Display is 2560x1440 @ 120Hz. On 3D_FULLSCREEN, my pp_dpm_mclk is on 772Mhz most of the time with some occasional 456Mhz, but never drop to 96Mhz. It will only drop to 96Mhz if I change to BOOUP_DEFAULT (or POWER_SAVING).

    I am using a AMD RX 7800 XT and noticed that my idle power consumption has went up recently from ~5-10W to ~30W. After some investigation I found out it was caused by the change to the default power profiles from BOOTUP_DEFAULT to 3D_FULLSCREEN in 6.13. When in 3D_FULLSCREEN profile, the GPU memory clock won't transition to the lowest clock speed and consuming extra ~20W (!!) of power.

    To fix this, I have to manually change the power profile using following commands (as root):

    echo 'manual' > /sys/class/drm/card1/device/power_dpm_force_performance_level
    # check the available power profiles to get the index
    cat /sys/class/drm/card1/device/pp_power_profile_mode
    # normally 0 = BOOTUP_DEFAULT
    echo 0 > /sys/class/drm/card1/device/pp_power_profile_mode
    

    (you may need to change card1 to card0 depends on your system)

    Note that the configuration is not persisted across reboot and you may encounter shuttering during gaming with BOOTUP_DEFAULT.

    I recommend to use tools like LACT to automatically apply the power profile on startup and also automatically switch the profile to 3D_FULLSCREEN when running games.

    Edit: you should check you current GPU idle power consumption first (with nvtop or lm_sensors) before applying the change, the issue may not affect all AMD GPU

    If I'm Linus, i would have removed bcachefs from mainline already. From his reply he never once admit his attitude problem and keep thinking he is right.

    This type of people can't work with others, not today, not in future.

    GitLab don't have the monetary incentive to implement federation. Most of their revenue is coming from big companies which are mostly using private GitLab instance and won't want their projects federated.

    That being said, hope this changes can get merge as somebody already done the dirty work for them. The beauty of open source.
