I ran with 8gb ram for 7 years because zram would shove my swap into what little ram I had available and it actually worked well enough that I didn't feel like upgrading until this year lol.

Also MPC-BE because of nice support with dolby digital stuff lol

sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia

wow that was easy

tries to run wayland

And that's how I became an x11 shill

xfce: "Here's our bi century update. We added some extra mouse pointers that you can choose if you want. Okay see you in 10 years"

Imagine having to run two commands to upgrade your packages

I think the funniest part of this meme is every company bar Amazon, Discord (both not in market yet), and TikTok (Chinese) were confirmed to be a part of NSA's PRISM

Hey now, teamforetress 2 got a 64 bit beta that improved the game performance by a solid 20-30%

Valve might finally make the Heavy update

mlg , vor 5 Monaten an linuxmemes in Look at that fragmentation!

Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) which lets you basically run linux kernel along side the windows kernel which lets you do a lot of cool stuff like containers, linux apps, whole DEs, etc.

It was pretty cool for like 5 minutes until people realized that keeping windows around was kind of pointless and we should just be running pure linux lol.

It's still a good feature, but it just gives you a direct comparison of linux vs windows which tends to outshine windows.

mlg , vor 8 Monaten an linuxmemes in i find it's a great tool.

Pros: Really useful AIO program that does everything
Cons: Really useful AIO program that does everything

Great example:

Systemd makes it very easy to bring up DNS with systemd-resolved, and it bridges a gap from the old resolv.conf file and newer DNS standards n stuff.

But then it also means that any alternative DNS clients have to tell resolvd to go away if they want to run, or often times make a systemd service to autostart with systemd and ensure it works perfectly with every possible systemd setup.

There's nothing inherently wrong with this method of having a centralized AIO thing that handles a a lot of stuff for you, but lots of early Linux people preferred the hardcore KISS principle and found it very beneficial to have everything neatly separated and modular with the service manager's job to only start and stop services.

Overall, systemd has been remarkably (and relatively) stable and beneficial which people thought would be impossible back when it became initially popular.

mlg , vor 9 Monaten an linuxmemes in There's still room for improvement, but Linux gaming has come a long way in a short time.

Okay I can definitely back up the second claim.
World of Warships, a DirectX only game, runs and loads better on Linux with Proton.
I tested both on SSD and HDD, and in both scenarios the game runs at a higher FPS and loads faster. I legitimately have no idea why.

I originally tested on HDD and guessed that ext4 was just much better with the IO speeds because NTFS would fragment like hell.
But then it also was the same with an SSD and now I'm not sure.
