I would like to try it but it breaks nvidia-offload. :/ Put it in a specialization 😅 -- also with NVK you won't need nvidia-offload anymore, just good DRI_PRIME like an AMD user would do | 18:59:26 |

Mesa gitlab, I guess One thing, I think I don't recall I mentioned before, for using NVK+GSP, one will not have nvidia kernel module, so the nvidia firmware folder won't get copied to modules closure without some overlaying 👀 (nouveau+GSP uses "nvidia" and not the "nouveau" folder) | 19:03:30 |

| @sr.estegosaurio:matrix.org | My only problem is that I don't know what a specialization is. 😅 | 20:35:08 |
 @atemu12:matrix.org | It's a NixOS feature; read up on it in the manual | 20:35:31 |
| @sr.estegosaurio:matrix.org | Also, would I get any benefits from pulling latest Mesa if I'm not using a card yet supported by it? | 20:35:51 |

It's a NixOS feature; read up on it in the manual Oh, thanks. I'll look into it. | 20:35:59 |
| @atemu12:matrix.org | I would not recommend trying NVK at this point though. It's still very experimental, even for cards that are supported "officially" | 20:36:08 |

Also, would I get any benefits from pulling latest Mesa if I'm not using a card yet supported by it? NVK does not implement a good set of Vulkan yet, you'll see this warning always:
WARNING: NVK is not a conformant Vulkan implementation, testing use only.
Selected GPU 1: GA107, type: DiscreteGpu
And will have to downgrade DXVK to play.
| 21:41:29 |
| @sr.estegosaurio:matrix.org | Makes sense. | 22:44:48 |
| @sr.estegosaurio:matrix.org | I'll wait then. | 22:44:57 |

 l0b0 | Anyone know when the AMD HDR patches are getting to NixOS? | 06:25:13 |
 @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | In reply to @vengmark2:matrix.org
Anyone know when the AMD HDR patches are getting to NixOS? whenever they make it to mainline. Nixpkgs doesn't patch the stock kernel unless absolutely necessary. You can do it for your machine yourself though | 06:40:55 |
| K900 | Also note it's not really "AMD HDR", it's more like "the few specific AMD chips that are similar enough to Steam Deck HDR" currently | 06:55:56 |

Also note it's not really "AMD HDR", it's more like "the few specific AMD chips that are similar enough to Steam Deck HDR" currently how similar does that have to be? | 07:09:11 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | like, is that why it didn't work on my 7900 XT when a tried a couple of months ago? | 07:09:26 |
| K900 | Not too sure | 07:09:57 |
| K900 | But it's only wired up for some DCN revisions | 07:10:04 |
| K900 | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/279749 | 07:16:29 |
| K900 | Did a protontricks update | 07:16:34 |
| K900 | By which I mean I tried to run it, it yelled at me about something something update something | 07:16:52 |
| K900 | I looked at the package source and screamed | 07:16:59 |
| K900 | And here we are | 07:17:01 |

Anyone know when the AMD HDR patches are getting to NixOS? You can always patch it yourself or ask those flavors in nixpkgs (like xanmod) to add. The linux-cachyos in our flake (Chaotic-Nyx) have it if you want just to try it out without building. | 21:49:27 |
