    I had similar worries about the AMD driver stability before I switched from NV about 5 years ago. But my experience has been great even back then and things have only improved since.

    One data point to consider is that Valve is shipping the Steam Deck with an AMD AMU and stability and compatibility is paramount for that use case.







  • Yes, that works too with one fairly big caveat: for some reason the Steam Deck’s controller is not producing evdev events until a game is actually running on the deck. So evfwd is not receiving events while the Steam UI is active. I haven’t been able to figure out yet why this is the case.

    If you want to try it you can start a random game on the deck and then fire up evfwd on the controller device and using the -g (grab) flag to avoid passing events to the running game.

    Edit: while we are talking about the Steam Deck: when ssh-ing to the deck it can be helpful to turn off wifi power management to avoid lag: iw wlan0 set power_save off





  • Trump and his handlers just before the debate:

    Handler: Mr President… (he insists on being called that by his people) - before you go out there I want you to promise again that you won’t bring up the thing about people eating cats and dogs…
    Trump: yeah, fine
    Handler: Remember how we talked about this? And how you promised that you won’t bring it up no matter what happens?
    Trump: Yeah, fine, whatever.
