Used to be messing with kernel arguments and installing/tweaking boot parameters. That was until Grub broke, I learned systemd-boot and chrooting into the system via live USB

Now if I break anything it’s just a matter of “sigh, let me get the USB and type a few commands”

Depends on config, ArchWiki recommends optmizing some sysctl values to take advantage of it

it generally starts kicking in after >60% RAM usage even with this config

That’d be over 1TB with zram on

Happened once around two years ago, s botched update from mainstream or something like that. Made me learn systemd boot which is simple and never EVER use grub again

AMD is the gold standard for general user PCs in the last 5+ years. Intel simply cannot compete at the same energy expenditure/performance. At the same/close price/performance, Intel either burn a small thermonuclear power plant to deliver comparable performance, or simply is worse compared to similar Ryzens

Ryzens are like aliens compared to what AMD used to be before them

So I’d go with them

As for the GPU, if you want to use Linux forget Nvidia

I finally switched to AMD after 3 years in Linux, and man I didn’t even know I was suffering until I booted with AMD and didn’t have to take care of several env variables and separate modules for hw acc

It just works

My most paranoid config is disabling Ipv4

That’s it. If someone wants to attack me, they will need to adopt IPv6!

I managed to use Waypipe to open a GUI programa unde another user in the same Wayland display (actually someone else did a script for it, it’s in my profile history), so I guess it is possible to forward it with Waypipe remotely

Heya could you share how you do this trick to screen share ? Would it work on MS Teams?

It actually runs and feels smoother for me in a 144hz display and 2016 NVDIA card. Of course it still has its glitches and strange things happening from time to time, while with Xorg it “just works”. I’d say it’s still in alpha stage for Nvidia users, which require some tweaking and extra env variables to properly work; and in beta stage for everyone else

Most things would be solved if mainteners EVER updated their app’s electron version or stopped doing custom things with it and just let electron read $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/electron-flags.conf

It’s not exempt from happening; however, it rarely ever updates and has less complexity/functionality than grub, which makes it less prone to error happening (be it from the developers, or from the user like me trying to theme it :))

I switched to systemd boot when that happened, and it’s been so smooth ever since
