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

yeah people arguing about the usefulness of this thing clearly aren’t the target audience

And they should just accept that lol

It’s a small indie company and $150. Be reasonable

It has a 3gb ram and an a53

Perfectly reasonable specs

A rock fact

I test using VMs with resolutions of 1024x768 and never have this issue. I am on gnome

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

while I still use ohmyzsh, a lot of it’s opponents make it’s slowness one of its complaints. You don’t need ohmyzsh to have fancy things, it’s just makes setting it all up a little easier.

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

Try out zram instead of the SD card swap

Afaik there is no way to view usage for nouveau yet

Switch out the swap file for zram

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
