Linux Hardware

Hi everyone! While lemmy.ml has served as a reliable home for our community, we thought it would be worthwhile to help distribute the load across the lemmyverse more evenly, and decided to move to a smaller themed instance that happens to fit our community perfectly, the excellent Programming.dev!

Hope to see you there! 🙂

which one wold pair up better, less bottleneck and all that, a bottleneck calculator said the 560 works better, can i trust it? Is there any other gpus i should consider? (Small budget, Brazil is complicated)

(I use linux, if that changes something)

I configured a pretty sick PC build on PCPP that is supposedly Coreboot capable. I am wondering if it can be improved and if it is actually Coreboot capable.

CPU: Intel Core i9-14900KS 3.2 GHz 24-Core Processor

CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U14S 82.52 CFM CPU Cooler

Motherboard: MSI PRO Z690-A WIFI ATX LGA1700 Motherboard

Memory: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 48 GB (2 x 24 GB) DDR5-8400 CL40 Memory

Storage: Crucial T705 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 5.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive

Video Card: ASRock Taichi OC Radeon RX 7900 XTX 24 GB Video Card

Case: NZXT H7 Flow ATX Mid Tower Case

Power Supply: MSI MEG Ai1000P PCIE5 1000 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

Case Fans: Noctua A15 PWM 140 mm Fan; Noctua A14 PWM 82.5 CFM 140 mm Fan

In my Clevo Laptop with @novacustom@mastodon.online and @3mdeb@fosstodon.org Coreboot firmware I now have replaced another proprietary part!

The Intel AX200 previously installed waits for a new use case, while I swapped in the Qualcomm Atheros Y8512 pci-e Wifi card, which has #blobfree drivers and thus runs fully on Linux, not just on some #nonfree kernels (that basically break the open source philosophy by including proprietary code in the single most critical root binary on your system)

It works great, just downloaded a Firefox release. zip over wifi without a single stutter!

Hello,

I am looking for a budget reliable printer.

I know that some companies scam the crap out of you as soon as you buy their printers and I would like to not fall victim to that.

My budget is around 100 dollars, I don‘t care if laser or ink printer.

Of course I need a certain compatibility to Linux.

Thanks a lot already for your answers and have a nice day!

Edit: Thanks for the kind tips, I will definitely get myself a brother printer.

Hi linuxhardware gang

i've been having some issue on my headphone jack, and the sound quality has never been great. this is on a small mini pc running arch linux.

So what i'm looking for is a device i can plug into my usb (preferably usb-C) and Linux will use it to play audio. i plan to plug that device into my amp, which i can use headphone jack or those white and red plugs for.

I hope USB DAC is the proper term, i'm kind of struggling to find products that do this.

anyway, does anyone have experience with products like this on linux? i don't want to have to hack together the software side. even just a brand recommendation will help.

Anyone got any experience with running Linux on a Chuwi Freebook N100 yet?

I know this question has been asked many and many times, but a) this kind of things can change with time (bugs may get fixed or appear, new generations can fix hw problems and get new ones, etc.) and b) I didn’t find it on Lemmy yet (but maybe this is just me being bad searching stuff in the fediverse), so here it is once again.

So, I need to buy a new laptop and I’m undecided between those two machines that, from what I’ve seen, are very very similar, but not exactly the same (apart from the chassis, that should be exactly the same, right?)… What are some differences I could use to decide?

And, if you own one of this two, would you recommend it? Why/Why not?
