I’m buying a new mobo and cpu and some ram and stuff to update my current system and use the old parts for a plex box and little nifty things to mess around with, and I think that I’m gonna give Linux a fair shake for gaming. I don’t want adverts on my OS, and win11 sounds like it’s bad? idk I’m still on 10

anyways, it is the year of the Linux for gaming

Setting my serial adapter to the RK3399's weird default baud rate of 1,500,000.
code:
560 ~$ stty -f /dev/tty.usbserial-AB0KNDIJ 115200
561 ~$ stty -f /dev/tty.usbserial-AB0KNDIJ 230400
562 ~$ stty -f /dev/tty.usbserial-AB0KNDIJ 1500000
stty: tcsetattr: Invalid argument
563 ~$ stty -f /dev/tty.usbserial-AB0KNDIJ 1843200
564 ~$ stty -f /dev/tty.usbserial-AB0KNDIJ 3686400
stty: tcsetattr: Invalid argument
gently caress, it doesn't like the non-standard 1.5M baud rate. But 1.5M is not actually that weird. USB controllers have an internal 48 MHz clock to do USB stuff. That is usually generated from a 12 MHz crystal. Generally the serial port baud rate generator is fed from the 48 MHz USB clock, perhaps divided down a bit.

Cracking open the Baofeng adapter, the only chip inside is a FTDI FT232RL which does indeed feed a 48 MHz clock to its baud rate generator.

So 1.5M baud should be possible. Maybe it's Mac OS that doesn't like setting the weird baud rate? Time to tag in the Rock Pi S from page 1, the one with the wifi driver problems. Under Linux, 1.5M baud works fine.

code:
rock@rockpis:/dev$ sudo stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
rock@rockpis:/dev$ sudo stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 1500000
rock@rockpis:/dev$ sudo stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 1500001
stty: invalid argument ‘1500001’
Try 'stty --help' for more information.
So that worked. Here's the full boot log from the RockPro64. No obvious PCIe errors, though.

Hmmmm. Any ideas?

no, sorry

it might honestly just be that pacman spoiled me. it downloads the files, and extracts them to the place. in comparison, apt is like doing a bank transfer.

you don't have to compile anything on clear, all of the packages are already optimized. either way use whatever you want, i don't care

ubuntu is “i just want everything to work”

debian is “i just want everything to work for a headless server and i am probably going to run this without touching it for many many years”

fedora is “i want the most current kernel and userspace within reason”

rhel is “i want to run this for 8 years and i want to pay somebody to fix my issues specifically if i find any”

opensuse/sles are the same as fedora/rhel but with better internationalization and a more pragmatic approach to backporting/retrofiting fixes vs starting at upstream and waiting for the support to trickle down to a release like RH does

clear is “i want everything compiled with -O6 insane optimizer flags using intels secret sauce compiler”

gentoo is clear but compiling it yourself and learning how far is too far for optimizations. it also is kinda good at teaching you how the linux os works since you have to build and connect and config the whole thing

arch is like gentoo but with no compiling

what about nix os

this is going to sound like an advertisement but: you can make kde function like macos with just a couple of clicks. just download a theme from control center and apply it

it's unlikely but i guess you might have to add a global menubar widget yourself if the theme doesn't come with one, but that's also extremely easy, just right click on the desktop and go to add widget

also you want to download plank for a dock probably, it's dead simple to set up and use ime. others that are good but more complex are docky and latte dock

i feel like you keep saying you're trying kde but are not actually doing that. all of these things are pretty easy and even easily discoverable, and we're talking about linux here ffs

im not actually trying kde, or gnome
