But be careful, you can pretty easily break stuff by messing up fstab

This may be a stupid question but is your video cable plugged into the gpu or into the motherboard?

That would be extremely funny

In your case I would just start by copying a full setup someone else made and then customizing it, starting from scratch always takes a lot of effort. Reddit’s unixporn was great for that, the alternatives on lemmy are sadly still a little empty.

Someone needs to maintain them for them to keep working. Nobody else is willing to do that anymore, but you can still volunteer as a maintainer. If you don’t, it’s as much your fault as anyone elses.

I’m also unable to see the difference directly, but everything just feels more snappy. If you can’t feel it, maybe you have some extra latency from somewhere else

Almost all programs use both 32bit and 64bit integers, sometimes even smaller ones, if possible. Being memory efficient is critical for performance, as L1 caches are still very small.

Garbage collection is a feature of programming languages, not an OS. Almost all native linux software is written in systems programming languages like C, Rust or C++, none of which have a garbage collector.

Swap is used the same way on both linux and windows, but kicking toolbar items out of ram is not actually a thing. It needs to be drawn to the screen every frame, so it (or a pixel buffer for the entire toolbar) will kick around in VRAM at the very least. A transfer from disk to VRAM can take hundreds of milliseconds, which would limit you to like 5 fps, no one retransfers images like that every frame.

Also your icon is 1.1Mbit not 1.1MB

I have a gentoo install that uses 50MB of ram for everything including its GUI. A webbrowser will still eat up gigabytes of ram, the OS has literally no say in this.

If you look at its protondb page, it seems there was an issue with the nvidia drivers that got fixed, so it may work better now. It’s still only silver-rated though, so there are probably issues left. Admittedly, I’m sidestepping a lot of this as I have an AMD gpu, but even with nvidias quality drivers games with such issues tend to be more of an exception.

I have ~200 games in my steam library, all of which run by pressing “play” in steam. I may just accidentally like games that run on linux, but running through 150 pages of forums definitely isn’t the norm nowadays

Depends one what you need to do, there are some areas in which adobe still has a monopoly

If you let it run through once, it should cache the compiled shaders so it will recompile only after the game or your gpu drivers are updated

They’re giving you shit about complaining about a nice and working color picker for no reason except that somebody made something similar quite a while ago. Nobody cares about your color picker, you are the only one bringing it up.

What do you need RDP for? I did everything i ever needed to do remotely via SSH (I mean this as a genuine question, not that we shouldn’t have better RDP support)

I’ve seen enough devices with the usb ports mounted upside down, for whatever strange reason. Also sometimes you want to plug something in without looking, this is much easier with USB-C

It doesn’t necessarily need to be 4-dimensional https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinor

And at some point, it may just become the present, too :)

I think the problem is that the algorithm’s optimisation target is not to entertain people, but to keep them watching, which can cause you to feel bad and still click videos. In the same way other addictions work.

That’s not true. Pihole voids DNS requests, not the actual HTTP responses. When trying to look up an ad, it tells your devices to look at an unassigned ip address which will then not respond with anything.
