overview for MoreCoffee

It's hard to believe this MR head been open for over 3 years. I don't understand why they didn't release it in 46 as an experimental feature. I've begrudgingly resorted to using kde again just for this feature.

I've got 3 displays. I just noticed something interesting; if I apply my settings in LACT I notice some flicker, if I then logout of my gnome session and relogin it seems fine, no flickering yet. I'll do some more testing.

I just tested memtest_vulkan on linux, everything default but set Mclk to 1300, and it passed. But, there was still some flickering, not non-stop, but every once in a while I would get a flicker.

Basically no increase with default voltage either. If I bump mclk +10 it starts to flicker. Set it back to 1250 and no more flickering. I will have to test that on windows when I get some time.

Fedora 39 + Mesa 23.3.2. Yea, the mclk is stable at 2500mhz default and even increasing it say 50mhz seems to cause flickering, that will sometimes go away then come back. Adrenaline version is latest, 23.12.1.

AMD GPU overclocking (lemm.ee)

I've been messing around with overclocking my 7900xt on linux to see if I can use the same settings as I do on windows. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem nearly as stable on linux. For some reason adjusting the memory clock by about any amount causes a lot of screen flickering. Has anyone had much success overclocking their AMD gpu with the same settings as on windows? I'm running wayland, kernel 6.7.1 with a drm patch fo fix setting power level. Using LACT to do the overclock.

Systemd 254 - now with soft-reboot (github.com)

Systemd 254 released and now has a new soft-reboot option:

    * A new "soft-reboot" mechanism has been added to the service manager.
      A "soft reboot" is similar to a regular reboot, except that it
      affects userspace only: the service manager shuts down any running
      services and other units, then optionally switches into a new root
      file system (mounted to /run/nextroot/), and then passes control to a
      systemd instance in the new file system which then starts the system
      up again. The kernel is not rebooted and neither is the hardware,
      firmware or boot loader. This provides a fast, lightweight mechanism
      to quickly reset or update userspace, without the latency that a full
      system reset involves. Moreover, open file descriptors may be passed
      across the soft reboot into the new system where they will be passed
      back to the originating services. This allows pinning resources
      across the reboot, thus minimizing grey-out time further. This new
      reboot mechanism is accessible via the new "systemctl soft-reboot"
      command.>

Your get_admin_ids() needs some try/except. I would check the requests call and you can specifically check for requests.exceptions.JSONDecodeError exceptions.

I'm not sure how confident I feel about Fedora's future lately.
