compute-runtime VS website

Well... Fuck! https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/issues/643

For what it's worth, I was able to get IOMMU enabled and iGPU passthrough working for Plex on an Ubuntu 22.04 LXC container with a fresh install of Proxmox 8.0.3 (kenrel 6.2.16-3-pve) on an Intel i5-13400, ASRock B760M Pro RS/D4, also using Intel drivers released early today. I largely followed this guide.

For this little project unless someone chimes in with experience or can point to regarding the RX 6600 XT / 6650 XT / perhaps 7600 I might go with https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime . (They don't have perfect documentation re supported gpus either, the readme table doesn't list DG2, you need to go to releases to see that) . Phoronix reported it as pretty stable when they tested it with kernel 6.2 in March.

Update: I was able to fix my issue. I'm using Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS and have the newest available kernel, 6.3.1. Installing the drivers via apt does not work, instead I needed to use https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/

Drivers: https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases

wget https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/releases/download/22.43.24595.30/intel-level-zero-gpu-dbgsym_1.3.24595.30_amd64.ddeb

For OpenCL HDR/DV tone-mapping, install the extra compute-runtime if running on host.

I hear you, but they've all moved along in leaps and bounds. Some options if you ever look again -

* ElementaryOS(https://elementary.io/)

I’ve seen Raycast adjacent apps for Linux, but I don’t know what the current go-to all the kids are using these days. I used Quicksilver on OS X back in the day, which kind of defined the category I think. But these days I try to keep it simple.

Elementary OS seems to be trying to solve for the design issue, but it’s not as polished as macOS and there are still all the 3rd party apps to contend with. I’ve tried it, and it didn’t have me considering a full time switch.

For me, one of the big things keeping me on macOS is the sync between devices. 20 years ago it seemed much easier to move to Linux, because I didn’t have to worry about my contacts, calendar, etc being in sync everywhere. Having all that stuff, and the handoff between devices, just work is a huge benefit. There are probably ways to sync various things between iOS and Linux, but then researching all the options, setting it up, and keeping up on it all, becomes a hobby. That’s not a hobby I want at this stage of my life.

I thought ElementaryOS was dead due to infighting between the two cofounders, but it still seems to be going: https://elementary.io/

(I installed it on one box a few years ago and liked it, but moved back to Ubuntu once I learned about its conflict in the team.)

As an alternative to the other (great) suggestions, check out ElementaryOS.

But get an old laptop, download and install on it https://elementary.io/, or PopOS or Debian (they all resemble macOS) or whatever distro you like the most. And start tinkering.

I would suggest installing elementaryOS inside a VM, and follow their getting started guide

Elementary OS e un distro de Linux cu aspect de macos

Maybe take a look at https://elementary.io/? It was one of the better "out of the box" linux distros when I was last using linux.

It warms my heart seeing all my fellow linux users here! 😊 I personally use elementary OS because the desktop is pretty 🥺. Also, the lead of the project is a trans woman!
