Edit: Also check how much swap you have enabled in the system monitor overview. You might look into turning on zram support if it isn’t already enabled which will compress ram as needed which might improve your experience.

If they have swap then zswap is better than zram because it works better with the Linux memory management.

Don’t know when it’s ready, but they’re working on a way for zswap to work without a swap disk set up. When that is done there shouldn’t be any reason left to use zram at all. At least not as a swap disk.

By learning what the computer stuff does until it isn’t gibberish anymore. Ask people to explain it to you. Hopefully they will do it in such a way that you can look up yourself what everything means.

As someone who put OpenSUSE on their Deck, the advantage is that when you’ve got a problem it should be easier to find other people with the same problem. Especially when you go through official support.

Port forward your SSH-server. You can forward ports through SSH to access web services or others running on the server or anything else in the network.

But only allow access through keys. And maybe try to use a different port than 22. That usually gets hammered a lot, trying to find accounts with weak passwords.

Been a while since I did this. But isn’t there a YouTube plugin for Kodi anymore? Back then I would send videos from my phone to Kodi using Yatse.

Always the first thing I enable.

Maybe Polaris is what you’re looking for. It’s meant for game streaming. But of course you can stream whatever you want.

Just add the JPEG use flag and recompile your whole system. EZ PZ

Base64 is history. I’m going to encode all my binary data in emojis from now on!

Don’t know how it is with this phone but they usually use an Android kernel which means you are beholden to the hardware supplier for device drivers. That generally means that you are stuck with a horribly outdated kernel.

But not everything works. One user is regularly posting updates (I think in !linuxphones@lemmy.ca) about getting all devices of their FP to work. They are making progress but it’s still tedious work and if they ever lose interest or something happens to them it can be years until someone capable can pick up the torch.

Because you didn’t bother fixing the underlying issue but got lucky.

Or these other inits are more brutal in their shutdown procedure, but I doubt that.

That’s not really systemd’s fault though. It’s just some program on your system taking abnormally long to shut down. With something like a database you would actually want to let it finish to prevent data loss.

Actually, it usually does. I was just too lazy to think of one.

A stop job is running

She’s just baffled that anyone who knows those two distributions could be so dense as to whittle down the vast infinite sea of possible options to just two incredibly boring ones. She would have cried next if he hadn’t done it.

Also, OpenSUSE.

Luckily the USE flags narrowly define consent.

Definitely Debian. You’re already used to it and personally I highly value the stability it brings for servers.
