Ubuntu 23.04 + Linux 6.4 + Mesa Git + Perf: The above configuration but also switching over to the "performance" ACPI Platform Profile rather than the default balanced mode. Ubuntu 23.04 + Linux 6.4 + Mesa Git: In addition to using Linux 6.4, upgrading to Mesa 23.2-devel from the Oibaf PPA was also tested for providing the latest RadeonSI OpenGL and RADV Vulkan drivers for the RDNA3 GPU with the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme. All other Ubuntu 23.04 settings/packages were at their defaults. No AMDGPU hangs were encountered when using the latest Linux 6.4 kernel, so that is being used for all the Ubuntu runs as the latest open-source upstream experience. With some games when running the stock Linux 6.2 kernel of Ubuntu 23.04, there were graphics hangs. Ubuntu 23.04 + Linux 6.4: The Ubuntu testing was using the Linux 6.4 Git kernel in its near-final state. The Ubuntu Linux configurations tested for today's article included: For those wanting Arch Linux, Arch Linux on the ASUS ROG Ally will be looked at in the upcoming comparison benchmarks against the Steam Deck. The performance of the ROG Ally under Windows 11 was looked at out-of-the-box and then repeating all the tests when running in the "Turbo" mode set via the ASUS Windows app.įor the initial Linux results on the ASUS ROG Ally they were tested using Ubuntu 23.04 given its popularity. But unlike Valve's Steam Deck that runs SteamOS as a modified operating system built atop Arch Linux, ASUS ships Windows 11 Home on the ROG Ally. The ASUS ROG Ally is an interesting $699 gaming handheld with the new AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme SoC that features eight Zen 4 cores (16 threads) and RDNa3 graphics plus this handheld having 16GB of RAM, 7-inch 1080p 120Hz display, and 512GB NVMe SSD plus microSD options too. Beyond looking at the out-of-the-box performance, the results under Windows 11 with ASUS' "Turbo Mode" is also included plus some modifications to allow Linux to be more competitive to Windows 11 for games. Well, the wait is over with the first benchmarks today of Windows 11 against Ubuntu 23.04 Linux on the ROG Ally. I've only tried a few readers on iOS and compared to the experience of FeedMe on Android, they're all equally dreadful so no strong recommendation there.Many readers have been curious about the performance of Linux gaming on the ASUS ROG Ally gaming handheld that out-of-the-box runs Microsoft Windows 11 Home. I'd add that I love their subscription management system and they provide you with an email address that lets you subscribe to newsletters that show up just like another feed - an awesome feature.įor a reader to access any of the services (on Android), my 100% recommendation is FeedMe, there's nothing even close. I chose FeedBin to subscribe to and have been nothing but happy. Easy to contact and instant and detailed responses. The smallest development team (one person) but by a wide margin, the best. Like Feedly, not an easy team to contact or communicate with.įeedBin - was able to read 200 of 200 feeds (and since my testing, I've yet to find a feed it can't immediately read). Innoreader - was able to read 198 of 200 feeds. My least favourite development team not responsive or easy to communicate with. Tied for the worst UI, but still not bad. I'd rate the developers as #2 on the list responsive and nice to deal with.įeedly - was able to read 194 of 200 feeds. The worst of the bunch which is a shame because the UI is actually the runaway winner. The Old Reader - was able to read 192 of 200 feeds. The most important thing to me was being able to add any feed I wanted. I never looked deeply into why certain services couldn't read certain feeds, it was just a struggle that I knew existed. I then loaded the feeds (in two different phases) into each service and examined how many of the feeds could actually be read. When I had to pick which to go pro with, I created 2 opml files with 100 random feeds from all-different sources. I have accounts on the 4 big aggregators (I'd argue that "reader" refers to something different).
