3 GPUs and running X11 but only 380G of storage . I have so many questions, like what do you test?

[malcolmlewis]

@pavinjoseph four gpus… the cpu has a iGPU…

It was only a test to see them all work, no configuration, all plug and play… two are on PCIeX1, so not good performance wise, but do work… I just have the Intel ARC in there running now, encoding/decoding, huc/guc works but really needs a Motherboard with PCIe 4.0 and re-sizeable bar.

Primary System;

@malcolmlewis

our gpus… the cpu has a iGPU…

Ah, I missed that one!

@malcolmlewis

Primary System;

This is even more strange but typical of Linux users. Two beefy GPUs, 128G of RAM and only using 8G and an HD screen. Mine struggles if I increase the playback speed on a 4k 60fps Youtube video, I paid for the whole PC, I’m using the whole PC

[malcolmlewis]

@pavinjoseph oh it gets all used, not all the time

[mendres82]

Obviously no special hardware, but if someone told me 10 years ago that one day I would run my gaming PC on Linux, I probably would have called him nuts.

[mendres82]

My conky setup:

[pavinjoseph]

Looks sweet

How do you view the conky assuming default Gnome desktop where the desktop doesn’t have much importance and is not always shown to the user?

[mendres82]

Having both a 32" primary display and a 34" ultra-wide secondary screen, I went away from using applications full-screen or in a tiled setup. Since Conky is running on both screens, it’s almost always visible.

[pavinjoseph]

Nice, I have a 32" primary and it’s all my desk and poor laptop can handle

[zeesuse]

what program/widget is this pls

[mendres82]

The software is called Conky. It’s available in openSUSE’s repositories. My config is on Github.
