VNeed to use it more
VI don't use my GPU enough on my PC, might as well put it to some use on my steam deck
SI've just been using my gaming pc as a headless gaming server with sunshine since getting a handheld. it's pretty great
5It’s bananas how well it works. Hard line Ethernet to a 5700g Debian box and there’s zero latency and artifacting. It’s 1 to 1 and I don’t even have a dedicated gpu
VWhat I was tempted to do was take my 5850U thinkpad and replace my PC with that
VThen my PC would just be proxmox and then streamed to whatever
VStill tempted
VI need a thinkpad dock though
NGet a USB C Dock Gen2
NThey're pretty cheap and very nice
VI want too
VJust, y'know, child with no paying job
NCan drive a single Ultrawide really fine
Nat 60hz
NOh damn I thought they got cheaper
VWhat's the max they do?
NFor the refresh rate I don't know do
NBut I think 4k60
Nor 3 1080p displays
VI want 3440x1440 at at least 120 + a secondary 1080p display
VWhich I could use the laptop itself for
Nthat should probably work
VAnyway yeah, still gonna need like £40-50 to get one
VPlus maybe £5 for the HDMI dummy lol
5I would like 1 computer that is actually like 10 computers. That’s the dream. But then I realized when 1 breaks then 10 breaks. So I held off on my proxmox based goals
Kvirtualize my life
5And then let me remote that virtual life from a laptop or tablet
5My current laptop keeps running out of ram so I moonlight in my server with 64gb to browse Firefox
VA framework 13 + eGPU is what I want. Being able to just connect it and boot a Windows VM (or just use Linux) is appealing.
Sone time I took my gaming pc and ran ubuntu/kvm on it then passed my video card / usb ports to the vm running windows annnd it was pretty great actually. had to compile a kernel with some pulse audip fixes to get the audio to not be choppy
KI tried to go that route when rembrandt launched, but eGPU was really finicky under linux in my experience and I wasn't willing to put up with running windows
VIf I'm just passing it through to a VM I'm hoping it'll be alright
KCould be, there's also been more progress made since then
VYup
KAnd some of the issue I think was immaturity of the AMD TB support at the time
BTechnically yes.
BEnabling Hyper-V on windows got Kernel level Battleye and EAC working.
BIssue is
BHyper-V disables the vGPU display
BMeaning I get a direct X not being available error
Vcoolercontrol just released the Mix profiles feature. You can now combine graphs from multiple sensors and make a fan act upon which is more appropriate
TCan you add touchscreen to nested desktop?
Koo nice, that'll be good for my case fans
Vyeah, I intend to make my case fans ramp up for the CPU or GPU, whichever needs it at the moment
VAh, so, possible but annoying on your setup?
BExtremely. Pure GPU passthrough would fix it immediately.
BWith a dummy plug ofc.
VWhich is my plan
VHmm
BPrecisely.
