📰 Linux Patches Introduce "KNOD" For In-Kernel Network Offloading Directly To AMD GPUs

Some extremely cool patches were posted to the Linux kernel mailing list on Sunday. The patches for "KNOD" allow for in-kernel network offloading to GPUs with an initial focus on AMD GPU support. What makes this all the more nifty is that it doesn't depend upon any user-space libraries like AMD ROCm but is all handled in-kernel with driving the GPU directly...

📰 Steam streaming on Proxmox doesn't require GPU passthrough, and my LXC setup proves it

I've been wanting to turn my Strix Halo box into a game streaming server for months, and the only thing stopping me was the dread of VFIO GPU passthrough. It's a pain: block the driver, wrangle IOMMU groups, dedicate the entire GPU to one VM, and pray that the next kernel update doesn't break everything. My homelab already runs half a dozen services on Proxmox, and giving up the only GPU in the machine to a single VM just feels wasteful.

📰 CachyOS rebuilds every package the 'wrong' way, and my Steam library runs faster for it

There's a set of unwritten rules that every Linux distribution follows, and I never thought about them until I found the one distro that doesn't. Compile for the oldest CPU anyone might own. Ship the mainline kernel. Use Valve's Proton, because Valve knows best. I've been running CachyOS on my ROG Ally X and my laptop for a while now, and it breaks every single one of those rules on purpose. It even skipped the Open Gaming Collective, the...
