  • I’ve had a lot of experience with Linux and I use Nobara currently. My only catch with Bazzite is that I didn’t know the first thing to do. It somehow felt as if most of my experience in Linux was just useless.

    Not saying it’s a bad thing, I just decided I’d stick to Nobara for now and try learning Bazzite in the future to give it a fair shake.

    I’m also a tweaker. I like to play with ZRam and add other things to the OS, like a custom kernel with BCacheFS-Git to support my gaming darastores. I suspect some of my creature comforts may be harder to get.

    Using swap isn’t always a sign you need more RAM. Typically, if you use a computer for a while or have a lot of IO operations going on, Linux will decide to swap some things to make more room for cache.

    Sometimes Linux just finds that you have a bunch of inactive app memory and it can swap that out to cache way more stuff. That’s just good memory management, but it’s not worth buying more RAM over



  • I wouldn’t put swap on an SD card, no. Even if it had an NVME, it seems like putting up at least a double-digit percent would be more effective than 1%.

    Also, since 6.1, swap has been a lot better, with MGLRU. ChromeOS gets away with paltry amounts of RAM due to swapping. So classic overcommitting seems fine as long as you don’t run into situations where more RAM is active at once than is available by hardware.


  • I think the question is: if a person is going to make such a tiny swap, why even use swap?

    Such a small swap is unlikely to save a system from memory problems and it’s does not seem likely to make a noticeable difference in performance when it’s only able to swap out small amounts of memory.

    Why wouldn’t one just put in larger ZRAM or a larger Swap with a reduced swapiness?

    If I have a raspberry pi with 1 GB ram, I don’t think a 2 MB swap is worth bothering with.



  • I don’t think I have this on the latest 6.8 RC. I have one of the RDNA 3 dedicated cards as well. Hope they get it resolved either way.

    If helps in the meantime, I think you can often TTY switch in order to restart the display signal. Ctrl + Alt + F3/F4 should get you a new console. Then switch back to your desktop with Ctrl + Alt + F1/F2 (the right one may depend on your distro).

    This gets my display fixed when it gets any kind of funky 99% of the time. Sometimes it takes a few tries


  • Technically he needs to sell way more if he intends for the sales to fully cover his legal costs. 900,000 * 399 = 359,100,000 but that’s pure Revenue. The shoes likely have a cost per unit and then Trump has to pay taxes on that Revenue, not to mention other business operations costs. He might need to sell 30 to 50 percent more of those shoes.

    His legal settlements are 83,300,000 for the E Jean Carol suit and 355,000,000 for NYC, which might actually be way more than that after other factors and interest (I don’t know exactly what he owes for the NYC case, bit it’s 355M minimum, maybe up to 450M and with contingent interest depending on when it’s paid).

    He actually has to put the FULL AMOUNT of each settlement for the government to hold for each case he chooses to appeal, and may even owe interest if he loses the appeals.

    I’m just a tired stranger on the internet who tried to put some numbers together. If I got something wrong, let me know and I’ll correct it

    You aired my frustrations really well. He spent a lot more time making claims and discussing his own background than demonstrating Wayland’s alleged issues and showing that they’re egregious. It’s an entertaining rant at best, but that doesn’t make his points valid nor does it make anything actionable.








  • I agree the joke is played out. IIRC, radios would play them because people wouldn’t typically dislike their music so much that they’d change the station or turn the radio off. A lot of music is quite polarizing so people love it or hate it and will leave the station when they dislike a song. Nickelback had a little of every rock genre under the sun, so while some people loved them, few people hated or disliked them.

    But then they were overplayed and more people who were on the fence got tired of it. A bit like Mariah Carey’s Christmas song and some of Fallout Boy’s songs.
