For desktops, zram with no swapping to disk. Hasn’t given me any trouble yet, except for the rare news website (it’s always news websites) with a horrific memory leak.

For laptops, zram plus a low-priority swap file for suspend-then-hibernate. My old laptop drains a fair bit in sleep mode and my new one doesn’t have proper S3 suspend because microslop is pushing manufacturers to only support S0 idle.

Always a file, never a swap partition. Everything that can be encrypted lives inside the encrypted root partition.

“why dont you just google it smh”

It’s fine to watch people critique Linux and compare it with Windows, but in my honest opinion, Mutahar is not worth your time.

Except for systems with very limited resources, systemd or not won’t make much of a difference in performance. A lot of tutorials on reading system logs and managing background services will assume that you are using systemd.

I’ve only ever used distros with systemd, not necessarily with intent, but because it was the default and well-supported. Probably won’t switch unless

• Debian switches
• there’s a change that breaks my workflow
• it somehow starts phoning home to a big datacenter.

I could, probably with green more than red

Yes, I wouldn’t lump yellow in with either red or green

no

What items did you like to eat? You could probably start with bringing the ones that require less time to prepare.

I’ll take half a day on the weekend to meal prep for the week, after which I just heat up refrigerated meals. Changes every week, but usually lunch will be some form of chicken with brown rice as the base, whatever vegetables are in season or at least easy to cook, maybe beans or an egg, a piece of fruit, and a couple snacks (cookie, yogurt, slice of pie, etc.)

Wouldn’t advise leaving things unlocked overnight in general, but it’ll depend where in the US. Here out in the exurbs I have neighbors who haven’t locked their houses or cars in years, but I just personally wouldn’t fall asleep without locking my doors. Maybe it’s the true crime podcasts getting to me.

Try installing just plasma-desktop

Some flavor of Android

• GrapheneOS on my main phone
• DivestOS on my old secondary phone
• LeOS on my tablet. It has all the pings to Google servers cut out and since it’s a GSI, it’s perfect since my tablet doesn’t have LineageOS support.

One box. I might be unlucky and lose out on $1000 in that other box, but I wouldn’t be too bothered. On the other hand, if I were to grab both and get $1000, the thought of what if I took just one box and got a million dollars would gnaw at me for the rest of my life.

The decision changes dramatically if the box with less money were closer to a million though.

Try out the restore kit first.

I replaced the entire unit on my vehicle (GM) because the back reflective coating was flaking and the aftermarket glass lens was tempting. Blinded a few innocent drivers the before I realized how far off the beam was. It’s alright with a bit of adjustment, but the beam pattern is just never the same as stock.

About a 5. Thankful for what I have, only got the bare minimum done this weekend, appalled by the state of the world.

Don’t want to cook tonight. Clotted cream (microwave heavy cream until all the water’s gone) on raisin swirl bread and a can of soup.

See if anyone has reviewed how the model of interest performs under Linux or check if there’s a report for it on linux-hardware.org

Around 2020, I had purchased a new laptop and desktop. It took about two years until everything worked on the laptop under Arch, main issue being the microphone and speakers. About another year and a half until the same on Debian. On the desktop, the wireless card didn’t work with Linux on day one and still doesn’t work that well on Linux to this day. Swapped that thing out with an Intel wireless card.

Driver support for various old peripherals and nvidia cards

People who modify their cars to be obnoxiously loud. Makes me wish they’d get sand in their engines and grind their gears down.

Surprisingly good in most cases. Main thing missing for me is support for programs directly talking to USB devices (understandably, the associated driver support is its own can of worms).

1000% agree. Had to install an older version of Pinta because it was also gnomed a while back.

While I’ve yet to contribute to open-source projects aside from reporting issues, I’ve got my eyes set on something like libadapta. As soon as one of the programs I use on a daily basis gets gnomed, I’m going all in to soft fork libadwaita and restore as many GTK3 features as I can.
