@Kyle Gospo I know the battery icon is a very minor issue . . .
but it's so neat to have!

I wish I could give you more info on that, but I noticed that I have to move my mouse on a restart before solaar gets automatically launched xD

Exec=/usr/bin/distrobox-enter -n fedora -- /bin/sh -l -c ' env solaar --window=hide'Exec=/usr/bin/distrobox-enter -n fedora -- /bin/sh -l -c ' env solaar --window=hide'

and I use this for autostart and .desktop

The battery icon is def. possible on GNOME, but I lack even basic programming knowledge.. I really don't know how to enable this ...

Aru•3/27/24, 10:36 PM

pretty straightforward, you need to set a scaling driver that supports CPU boost. If supported, then you can toggle boost on/off easily:

echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost

echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/boost

amd-pstate-epp doesn't support CPU boost controls, though it should eventually arrive in kernel 6.9 or later

AMD Core Performance Boost Patches Posted For P-State Linux Driver

While not quite as exciting as yesterday's AMD XDNA driver publishing for Ryzen AI on Linux, a notable patch series out of AMD today on the Linux front is enabling AMD Core Performance Boost controls within their P-State CPU frequency scaling driver.

for real?

antheas

antheas•3/27/24, 10:38 PM

its not supported?

Aru

Aru•3/27/24, 10:38 PM

yep

antheas•3/27/24, 10:38 PM

they just nixed it?

Aru

A

Aru•3/27/24, 10:38 PM

pretty much

Aru

A

Aru•3/27/24, 10:38 PM

which is why in the SimpleDeckyTDP readme, I note that CPU boost controls only appear when on a scaling driver that supports it

Aru

A

Aru•3/27/24, 10:39 PM

so if the user wants CPU boost control, they'll have to change the driver

Aru

A

Aru•3/27/24, 10:39 PM

set amd-pstate to passive, then cpu boost controls work

I'm just going to wait for the patch before re-enabling CPU boost controls on amd-pstate-epp

antheas•3/27/24, 10:57 PM

turns out part of it was preferred core interfering

antheas

A

antheas•3/27/24, 10:58 PM

actually all of it is, the patch applies cleanly without preferred core

I tried the pstate with cpu boost on my Go earlier today and it did not seem to play nice for whatever reason, maybe because it was set to power save by default or whatever but I reverted

From what I know, CPU boost control currently is only important on the ROG Ally, the Ally has a known issue with the CPU eating up excessive resources
