ipsirc, in What does Ubuntu do when LTS is supported for 12 years, but PHP is not?
@ipsirc@lemmy.ml avatar

They’re waiting for Debian developers backporting the patches.

Dariusmiles2123, in Suggestions for consumer cloud syncing on Linux?

I use kDrive and it’s great on Ubuntu. A bit less on Fedora but it works well with iOS and Android too.

NotAnArdvark, in As a normal, boring user that does nothing special other than browse the internet and the occasional "casual coding" -- what am I supposed to do with 32GiB of ram?

Here’s a little script I’ve put in my $PATH, called memsum:


<span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">#!/usr/bin/bash
</span><span style="color:#323232;">/usr/bin/ps -eo rss,command --sort -rss </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#a71d5d;">| </span><span style="color:#323232;">egrep $1 </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#a71d5d;">| </span><span style="color:#323232;">awk </span><span style="color:#183691;">'{ hr=$1/1024 ; sum +=hr} END {print sum}'
</span>

Now you can go: memsum firefox or memsum whatever and see that, actually, apps use a ridiculous amount of memory these days.

I can get Firefox up to 8GB by using things like Office 365.

Signfeld,

Thanks for this, it’s so easy to just run this script when I’m curious.

I got the warning “egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E” so I just swapped that command to get rid of the message.

olafurp,

Browsers often use a lot of unreserved memory marked as free for whoever wants it. This is how you get 16GB browser sessions.

Fisch, in Which terminal emulator do you use?
@Fisch@lemmy.ml avatar

I just use GNOME console. Looks good and I’m not missing anything.

thepiguy, in Fedora, Arch, or EndeavourOS?

Arch and endeavour should fall under the same category. You are more likely to break your system, but tinkerers love how barebones those are. I have not broken arch in the 4 years that I used it, but I did dodge a few updates which would have nuked my system. Fedora will be more stable, and it will get fewer breaking changes due to it’s point release schedule.

WeLoveCastingSpellz, (edited ) in Fedora, Arch, or EndeavourOS?

I use nobara it is fedora but with gaming and xwayland spesific tweaks and bleeding edge kernel and drivers but also it doesnmt have the difficult maintenance of arch because the only thing bleeding edge are the kernel and the drivers the rest is normal fedora, I also use distrobox to use AUR packages

xfce4-terminal has always been my go-to terminal. It may not be the lightest or the best, but it does have some neat built-in features like opening a drop-down window…

YaBoyMax, in Is there any future for the GTK-based Desktop Environments?

That KDE Plasma 5 is finally usable and stable, after having decided to stop pushing the ridiculous plasmoids on the user […] is like having an old whore finally becoming a respectable woman.

Yeah, I stopped reading here.

crusty,

Wow that’s pretty gross

Caboose12000,

what the actual fuck

LeFantome, in Fedora, Arch, or EndeavourOS?

Arch and EndeavourOS are the same once installed. EndeavourOS just helps get your system setup and fully configured more quickly.

Nothing wrong with experimenting though of that is something you enjoy.

I used Fedora for many years and liked it but it was years ago now. I have used Arch. I mostly use EndeavourOS these days.

My “play” installation is Chimera Linux. I want to check-out VanillaOS and LMDE. I have thought about trying Fedora ( or maybe Nobara ) again.

doggle, in Which terminal emulator do you use?

Alacritty

No particular reason why. It’s fast, it works, and I’ve already got it configured how I like it.

I’ve used kitty and a couple others. It really doesn’t make much difference to me tbh.

tkk13909, in Secondary Monitor Glitching on KDE Wayland (open source Nvidia driver)

I have had the exact same issue and I’ve been looking for a solution. If you really need the second monitor then you can just switch to the x11 session as a temporary fix but I have no idea what actually causes it.

Alacritty in case Konsole breaks

tkk13909, in Suggestions for consumer cloud syncing on Linux?

If all the devices are going to be on the same network most of the time you could go with Syncthing. It’s pretty simple to set up syncing folders between multiple devices.

Strit, in Which terminal emulator do you use?
@Strit@lemmy.linuxuserspace.show avatar

I use what the DE usually provides, which is Konsole in Plasma. I don’t need fancy stuff as I only do basic stuff in the terminal.
