From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Which graphical system utlities you miss on Linux? (lemmy.world)

Hello everyone! I know that Linux GUI advanced in last few years but we still lack some good system configuration tools for advanced users or sysadmins. What utilities you miss on Linux? And is there any normal third party alternatives?

Chances are that it doesn't work there either. What actually does the OC is the kernel; the GUIs merely write the desired values into the correct files in /sys.

I've just got to try it and you're right. VRAM OC is also broken with LACT though at first it seemed like it worked and I even managed one full bebchmark run in CP2077 but my PC started heavily artifacting and crashed on 2nd run.

Well then it sounds like it works just fine but your chosen value isn't stable.

[–] WereCat@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I can do 2150MHz fast timings on Windows (2000MHz is default). But on Linux even +1MHz is unstable with CoreCTRL and anything above +2MHz is unstable with LACT

[–] Atemu@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago

There cannot be differences between CoreCTRL and LACT; they use the exact same kernel interfaces.

Your issue is therefore also not connected to any of these GUIs but how the kernel applies your policies.

I'd recommend you try to reproduce the issue using just the raw kernel files and report the issue upstream: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/
