piexil,

Afaik there is no way to view usage for nouveau yet

piexil,

Try out zram instead of the SD card swap

I just finished setting up Linux Mint for an old buddy of mine on his old dog of a laptop, rendering it useful once again! (i.imgur.com)

Edit 2: to everyone suggesting an SDD: i know. Look, if this guy had enough $$$ for an SSD, he could buy a used lappy less than half the age of this one that has an ssd and 2-3x the memory....

piexil,

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.

piexil,

Full screen mode kicks ass on a laptop.

Swiping between all full screen with trackpad gestures is the workflow on macOS I really like

piexil,

Yes an option is best! Currently I have it with an extension although it’s kinda broken

I know not everyone likes it either. I only like it on my laptop, where I use the trackpad to switch between workspaces. It’s more clunky on a desktop

piexil,

If it’s like reddit sync you’ll need to patch it with revanced

Are there any CPUs that work well with Linux that aren't made by Intel or another company on the BDS list/that supports Israel?

I have a Ryzen 3 1300X at the moment and it’s always had this soft lock freezing bug on Linux. I used to dual-boot Windows on this machine and Windows never had the same problem, so I think it is an issue with the Linux kernel (I’ve also replaced nearly every bit of hardware that I originally built the PC with, except for...

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

piexil,

They don’t fit in my mini fridge like normal cans do either

piexil,

Weed is actually terrible for sleep, and I say this as an everyday user.

It stops you from entering rem sleep. People report a lot of dreams after quitting because of a phenomenon known as “rem rebound” where you will have a lot of rem sleep.

piexil,

Ubuntu themselves package ROS, it’s a little out of date from the latest (1.16 vs 1.18) packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/ros-desktop

Try apt update && apt install ros-desktop

piexil,

And aptitude tests themselves are flawed and usually only measure certain quantities or qualities of intelligence, and are not really a great marker for general intelligence (this is including IQ tests which have a very racist origin and history)

What distro would you recommend for a 32-bit old Acer One laptop?

It's an old model (Acer One D257) Processor is Intel Atom. Memory is 1GB DDR3 with 320 GB of HDD. I currently Have MX 21 running on it, but I need to reinstall because I forgot the root password. Since I'm reinstalling the OS, I thought I'd ask here for recommendations for an OS that makes the most of this oldie.

piexil,

Ooms are much less necessary with MGLRU if they keep to a new kernel

piexil,

It’s also $12 a year ($15 normally).

It’s a small price to pay to ensure everything on your Plex server has subtitles. Subtitling stuff and hosting it isn’t free.

piexil,

People were already giving money before this change…

piexil,

And also really not that bad for what it is. I quite enjoyed my time with it actually. It’s most egregious crimes are that Google makes it and privacy issues.

piexil,

FYI fwupd also works on windows

There’s an MSI in the releases github.com/fwupd/fwupd/releases

I thought I read somewhere that windows update would eventually pull from lvfs but I can’t find a source for that

piexil,

It’s not just startup time, it’s startup time with heavy background I/O

piexil,

Os on the fastest drive, one large partition + efi partition unless you have a need for separate /boot.

I use /boot on ext4 and / on btrfs with /home being a separate subvolume.

/boot is ext4 because grub has issues booting to btrfs when using ubiquity auto installer. Why? I do not know.

piexil,

Is that a Wayland issue? Lots of modern laptops have suspend issues (broken S0ix sleep, missing S3, bios declaring wrong states, etc)

piexil,

What hardware is your Thinkpad? Is it amd?
