Hi @Tiber,
Try setting xfwm to xpresent mode it might speed up your glmark2 score. Logout and re-login or reboot.
xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/vblank_mode -s xpresent
For the moment I use SD Card and USB 3.0 Flash Drives. My device is a quite unique, where the with the chainloader u-boot.ext the best option to boot up is SD Card or : Manjaro arm on Amlogic Tv box? - #748 by JFL
Just to give a complete picture of the “for_linux-vim-5101.tar u-boot.ext” ability to boot up on Beelink GT King Pro.
- Boot image on SD Card, it can boot up successfully with USB Flash or USB HDD connected to other USB 3.0 port.
- Boot image on USB Flash drive, it can only boot up successfully if USB Flash Boot image inserted on USB OTG port but without any other USB drive connected to any of the USB 3.0 ports.
- Boot image on USB Flash inserted on a USB 3.0 Hub and the USB 3.0 Hub connected to any of the USB 3.0 ports but No other USB drive connected any of the other USB ports. With this method, the USB Flash image drive will heat up fast on the USB 3.0 Hub.
- Boot image on USB Flash drive, it will NOT boot up if it is inserted into any of the USB 3.0 directly.
- Boot image on USB Flash drive, it will not boot up even if inserted on USB 3.0 Hub and USB 3.0 Hub connected to USB OTG port. Infinite Boot Loop.
So far the SD Card and USB 3.0 Flash Drive is reasoanbly fast but I suppose is not as fast as on emmc or SSD.
Similar but I have “boot.ini”. Interesting your device can boot up without “boot.ini”? We are using the same chainloader u-boot.ext.
