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

3rd gen i7 is outdated
Even a 8th gen i7 struggles to keep cool and quiet compared to Ryzens from 2019 onwards running the same stack
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
ctrl isn’t stuck because entering and subsequently exiting plasma edit mode makes the default left click behavior work again, at least for some time
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
I realized it works in most programs, however it doesn’t in xwayland
And it’s precisely those xwayland programs (IntelliJ and Android Studio) that I would use this key most times
