Mobile Linux: It’s time for Android to be Scared (PinePhone Pro + Mobian + GNOME + Waydroid)
/// 27 Sep 2022, 9:53 pm ////// Reddit ///

TL;DR - Using a PinePhone Pro booting the latest Mobian unstable branch, running GNOME Shell 43, and using Waydroid/Android Apps - a short documentation

Hey y’all! I’ve had my PinePhone Pro for just over 2 weeks now, and I have been having a lot of fun with this development device. I have dreamed for eons of a true convergence device, a simple brick to function as a phone or to dock as a computer. Messing around with this device, it feels so close. Last week, I worked on getting GNOME’s mobile shell on my Manjaro ARM boot. This week, we got the release of GNOME 43, but I was unsuccessful in building it for my Manjaro boot, so I switched over to Mobian. There, I was able to use the unstable branch and successfully build shell 43. The update has made the device response time significantly faster, provided a more mobile friendly UI, and I even found RDP support now works, so I can debug the device remotely, with actual GUI instead of just ssh. I continued to mess around with the devices limits, and installed Waydroid. Signed into the Play Store, downloaded my favorite app, and gave it a spin. This video provides a quick documentation of these things working.

A 20 Year Old Chipset Workaround Has Been Hurting Modern AMD Linux Systems
/// 27 Sep 2022, 12:45 am ////// Slashdot ///

AMD engineer K Prateek Nayak recently uncovered that a 20 year old chipset workaround in the Linux kernel still being applied to modern AMD systems is responsible in some cases for hurting performance on modern Zen hardware. Fortunately, a fix is on the way for limiting that workaround to old systems and in turn helping with performance for modern systems. Phoronix reports: Last week was a patch posted for the ACPI processor idle code to avoid an old chipset workaround on modern AMD Zen systems. Since ACPI support was added to the Linux kernel in 2002, there has been a "dummy wait op" to deal with some chipsets where STPCLK# doesn't get asserted in time. The dummy I/O read delays further instruction processing until the CPU is fully stopped. This was a problem with at least some AMD Athlon era systems with a VIA chipset... But not a problem with newer chipsets of roughly the past two decades. With this workaround still being applied to even modern AMD systems, K Prateek Nayak discovered: "Sampling certain workloads with IBS on AMD Zen3 system shows that a significant amount of time is spent in the dummy op, which incorrectly gets accounted as C-State residency. A large C-State residency value can prime the cpuidle governor to recommend a deeper C-State during the subsequent idle instances, starting a vicious cycle, leading to performance degradation on workloads that rapidly switch between busy and idle phases. One such workload is tbench where a massive performance degradation can be observed during certain runs." At least for Tbench, this long-time, unconditional workaround in the Linux kernel has been hurting AMD Ryzen / Threadripper / EPYC performance in select workloads. This workaround hasn't affected modern Intel systems since those newer Intel platforms use the alternative MWAIT-based intel_idle driver code path instead. The AMD patch evolved into this patch by Intel Linux engineer Dave Hansen. That patch to limit the "dummy wait" workaround to old systems is already queued into TIP's x86/urgent branch. With it going the route of "x86/urgent" and for fixing a overzealous workaround that isn't needed on modern hardware, it's likely this patch will be submitted this week still for the Linux 6.0 kernel rather than needing to wait until the next (v6.1) merge window.

Features of Atom Text Editor

Support Cross Platform Editing – Atom is platform independent so we can use it on MacOS, Windows and Linux
Smart Auto-completion – It helps us to develop the code faster with smart and flexible autocomplete feature
Built-in Package Manager – We can install new package and can create our own packages with in the Atom

$ sudo apt install curl libcanberra-gtk-module dirmngr ca-certificates software-properties-common gnupg gnupg2 apt-transport-https -y

Run following commands to configure Atom repository

$ curl -fsSL https://packagecloud.io/AtomEditor/atom/gpgkey | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/atom.gpg > /dev/null
$ echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/atom.gpg] https://packagecloud.io/AtomEditor/atom/any/ any main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/atom.list

Now, run beneath apt commands to install atom text editor

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install -y atom

Alternate Way to Install Atom on Ubuntu and Linux Mint
