so it seems that without any config, the traffic passes from wlan1 to wlan0’s network flawlessly; but traffic from wlan0 network stops at the Android device, even with iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT, so I’m clueless on what to do next

ip r

you install program A, it needs and installs libpotato then later you install program B that depends on libfries, and libfries depends on libpotato, however since you already have libpotato installed, only program B and libfries are installed The intelligence behind this is called a package manager

In windows when you install something, it usually installs itself as a standalone thing and complains/reaks when dependencies are not met - e.g having to install Visual C++ 2005-202x for games, JRE for java programs etc

instead of making you install everything that you need to run something complex, the package manager does this for you and keep tracks of where files are

and each package manager/distribution has an idea of where some files be stored

Mind sharing whhich situations would a timecard be useful ? Probably something that requires enhanced time precision, I just can’t figure it out

Depends on config, ArchWiki recommends optmizing some sysctl values to take advantage of it

it generally starts kicking in after >60% RAM usage even with this config

These updates land on testing quickly, however due to the several packages updated at once, they all need to be tested by volunteers, and only when all of them are signed it’s pushed out of testing

That’d be over 1TB with zram on

Happened once around two years ago, s botched update from mainstream or something like that. Made me learn systemd boot which is simple and never EVER use grub again

Already switched to AMD to enjoy it

I figured the root cause of the problem and a workaround. Journalctl shows this info when starting SVP:

• Video: 0 GPU OpenCL device(s) on rusticl [OpenCL 3.0] (Mesa/X.org)*

this thread says rusticl is broken

https://www.svp-team.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3167&p=17

therefore disabling hardware acceleration, for now, makes svp work again

which implies that if you want to buy a laptop, you are going to accept whatever OEM do

Yes, you can, just build your own PC

AMD is the gold standard for general user PCs in the last 5+ years. Intel simply cannot compete at the same energy expenditure/performance. At the same/close price/performance, Intel either burn a small thermonuclear power plant to deliver comparable performance, or simply is worse compared to similar Ryzens

Ryzens are like aliens compared to what AMD used to be before them

So I’d go with them

As for the GPU, if you want to use Linux forget Nvidia

Yeah, it’s advertised as 160hz and even amdgpu_top (which uses xrandr or something like it) says 159.96hz is the first preferred mode, the second being 100hz

I had this problem before with a Nvidia card which reset to 144hz after an update and I could never enable it again. However it’s a mystery as to why it boots up at 160hz in systemd-boot console, and goes back to 144hz when entering KDE or turning the display off

I finally switched to AMD after 3 years in Linux, and man I didn’t even know I was suffering until I booted with AMD and didn’t have to take care of several env variables and separate modules for hw acc

It just works

My most paranoid config is disabling Ipv4

That’s it. If someone wants to attack me, they will need to adopt IPv6!

Just don’t upgrade for a while and you become debian

It’s not like windows forcing you to reboot every Tuesday so Edge can come back

Tyvm for this very well structured guide, I didn’t even realize I was on lemmy until I hit the bottom of it
