I use a 4gb ram zram device on 2gb ram devices and can fill it up without the system grinding to a halt.

Might need to play with some of the other sysctl parameters

It has a 3gb ram and an a53

Perfectly reasonable specs

I test using VMs running gnome with resolutions of 1024x768 and never have this issue inside them

Some Linux distros have

Show kernel threads, it’s a setting in the htop config menu that is off by default.

It seems they are prepping to do something about the sea of unmaintained packages

Ubuntu still ships desktop icons on gnome, ding is a pretty good extension for it

Also vote bash, but I don’t love it…more of a tolerate.

Debian (and Ubuntu) has the package “fake-hwclock”. I’m sure other distros do too.

Periodically saves the time info to disk and resets the clock with it on boot.

Tbh I’ve always wanted to do this

Since version 4.0 the version numbers have nothing to do with changes and are strictly time based. Linux 5.0 happened after Linux 4.20 because Linus “ran out of hands and toes to count on”, same thing with 6.0 after 5.19

Afaik there is no way to view usage for nouveau yet

I really enjoy the “maximize windows go to their own workspace” thing that macOS does, it combines really nice with swiping workspaces with the trackpad.

There’s a gnome extension that mimics this but it’s kinda buggy and feels like a hack.

They probably won’t replace it past warranty but it’s always worth a shot

Vaxry’s themselves does this all the time. He’s an asshole. Like I get OSS developers don’t owe anyone anything, but some people think that means they can be an asshole to their users for no reason too.

Just look at this for example. Someone asked a clarifying question and Vaxry basically said “stop making noise”. Ironically producing more noise instead of just, idk, answering them? https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/1817

From Vaxry’s response:

opinion - has no place in a serious blogpost

Sir, what do you think a BLOG is for?
