      Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura Can Work Well As A Solid Linux Laptop

      news.movim.eu / Phoronix · Thursday, 24 April - 15:00

    The Framework Laptop 13 with AMD Strix Point is now shipping that as detailed in our review earlier this month can provide for a very capable Linux laptop for Linux developers, creators, and enthusiasts. But for those hesitant about the high price and still weeks away before they have shipped all their pre-orders, if you are principally concerned about battery life, and/or after proven build quality backed by on-site warranty and other warranty/support options, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura Edition ends up being a solid option for a very reliable and well-engineered laptop for Linux use. Here is a look at the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura Edition on Linux that is powered by Intel Lunar Lake.

      Mesa Falling Back To Its Multi-File Cache Due To Performance Reasons

      news.movim.eu / Phoronix · Thursday, 24 April - 10:08

    Mesa has supported on-disk shader cache for years to help speed-up game load times and overall system efficiencies. They had shifted from a multi-file cache layout to a single file cache for greater space savings. Steam also added support for the single-file cache. But now upstream Mesa is shifting back from the single-file cache default to the multi-file cache over performance issues...

      Linux 6.15 Lands Fix For "3x Performance Regression" Affecting Nginx & Other Software

      news.movim.eu / Phoronix · Wednesday, 23 April - 18:50

    The Linux 6.15 kernel has just merged a fix for the big performance regression I spotlighted yesterday on Phoronix with a huge hit to the Nginx HTTPS web server performance that could see a 3x regression from the in-development Linux 6.15 kernel code. It turns out other workloads/applications also were negatively impacted by this regression. While a stumper at first even with the bisected commit, the issue was luckily resolved very quickly.
