oflag=sync also works instead of && sync. Might as well drop a status=progress in there too

It works fine with Firefox funnily enough

Valve contributes a lot to Wine too

Did the same thing, though I’m handling the tabs with Sway

Using u and d instead of page up and down made it much more readable for me, then you don’t have a whole page with every button press

The ancient MacBook in question has a firmware limitation and thus only supports 4gb, it was already upgraded from 2gb iirc (black 2007 MacBook 3,1). My current laptop has 16gb soldered, too bad that the hinge will die again before the ram becomes insufficient

If you don’t have to use it but want to keep it functional, why just not reinstall MX again? You know that and how it works

I don’t get why this is always mentioned. Windows caches too and uses up all free space for faster application startup, but just because it also does it doesn’t change the fact that it uses more ram for active processes while doing nothing. I remember Minecraft running a lot better on my old MacBook with just 4gb of ram as Ubuntu used less than Mac OS X and I could allocate more to the game, whether cacheing was enabled or not on those OSes was not relevant. This should not be relevant today as 32gb of ram can be purchased for less than 100 bucks but sadly is as Apple and other laptop manufacturers think selling soldered 8gb is ok for a base model in 2023 for a laptop costing more than 300 bucks

Would like to see how much the background work is impacted over time. Seems like a scheduling issue to me

or the pump has failed

Wow, that’s bad UX, every other OS lets you change it for individual devices or types of devices

yoo that article is from 2002

Do you use Btrfs? With that you could extend the Fedora partition even though the free space is not where it should be

laptops are sold at the same price with similar components, so no

Clicking delete while pressing shift should do the same thing in most file managers, just use it with caution

I’d say it’s essential on a SMR drive

I use jdupes for that

I hate that this is the default answer to these questions, most tools by which less tech savy have detrmined that something is using a lot of ram are accounting for buffers and don’t subtract it from the free space. Every time when I clicked on someones post (well on Reddit, here its the first one) regarding their ram usage being high and this website was posted, it was not the buffer/cache. So while it is obviosly important to get to know how OP determined that something was using a lot of ram, directly assuming that they read it wrong is imo simply not helpful and in most cases just more confusing

My experiences with a 4700U/5500U and 5600G has also been great on just Fedora

300€ HP 255 G8 works very well, the physical buttons below the pad feel like they’ll fall apart with every press as they are only hinged somewhere in the middle
