There should be a package to install Nexuiz/Xonotic That'll give you an excuse to play videogames for a bit. If ONLY darktable makes your computer crash, then maybe it really does have something to do with darktable and your GPU and openCL, etc On Mon, Oct 30, 2017 at 3:41 PM, Michael wrote: > and if glmark2 doesn't crash it run stress the same amount of time? > > On Mon, Oct 30, 2017 at 6:37 PM, Michael wrote: > >> how long do I let glmark2's pretty horse rotate? >> >> >> On Mon, Oct 30, 2017 at 6:36 PM, Michael wrote: >> >>> okay >>> ` >>> >>> On Mon, Oct 30, 2017 at 6:10 PM, Brien Dieterle >>> wrote: >>> >>>> I'd wait.
