Pantherina, in TIL You can use `systemd-analyze plot > plot.svg` to plot the service startup time to find bottlenecks

Systemd can generate SVGs? Damn thats “bloat” but also unexpectedly fancy

@flashgnash also edge is a great browser we just hate it because of the way they force you to use it

I hate Google but they gave us Go, Kubernetes. I hate Amazon but they gave us AWS. I plainly hate those companies, but adore the brilliant engineers that work there.

jsdz, in TIL You can use `systemd-analyze plot > plot.svg` to plot the service startup time to find bottlenecks

I’m pretty sure the main system startup bottleneck is me typing the disk encryption passphrase.

the only “bottleneck” i currently have is plymouth-quit-wait.service, which takes 3.9 seconds. i can live with that

passepartout, in TIL You can use `systemd-analyze plot > plot.svg` to plot the service startup time to find bottlenecks

You can use systemd-analyze blame if you want raw numbers:

This command prints a list of all running units, ordered by the time they took to initialize. This information may be used to optimize boot-up times.

Good way to see if your systemd also waits 2 minutes for a network connection which already exists but it can’t see it because systemd doesn’t do the networking (lxc containers on proxmox in my case) lol.

Also see systemd-analyze.

aard, in Migrated from Windows to Linux. Decided to share list of answers/statements I was looking for before did it (and could not find).

especially if you have Nvidia

This is something that needs to be highlighted over and over again: Don’t buy nvidia if there’s ever a chance of running anything but Windows.

mr_right, in Peppermint Introduces PepMini: Minimal OS with Debian
@mr_right@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

This like watching a pheonix reporn from the ashes

thayer, in Linux Mint Debian Edition officially released

I’ve never had a use for Linux Mint myself, but I’m still happy to see them cut out the middle man and base it directly off of Debian. Hopefully being closer to the source will result in even more upstream contributions.

makeasnek, in Richard Stallman has cancer
@makeasnek@lemmy.ml avatar

Sad news about a pioneer of internet freedom. He has earned his fair share of criticism and detractors, but he has also given a lot to the Linux and free software ecosystem. I personally run !boinc on all my rigs to support open-source cancer research, I hope one day we can finally cross cancer off the list of humankind’s foes.

fartsparkles, in modern unix

Here’s a slightly better list. Call out to nushell and fish, my two modern shell favourites.

SquiffSquiff, in Why does the breeze theme have 50 dependencies?

I’d check that you’re actually installing the most appropriate package. For instance on Ubuntu there’s kid3 which is a MP3 tag application that will pull in the entire k desktop environment. Or you can install kid3-qt which packages its own version of those dependencies and doesn’t pull an entire desktop environment in if you’re using a non-kde environment.

rant:

I have been using Linux since 2006, a lefty and against the super-rich and big corporations since I remember (to the point of avoiding their products like the plague), also never having understood or accepted gender roles and other stupid traditional concepts, yet never turned into a communist 🤷

It baffles me that so many people think that respecting gender equality, understanding the evil in big corporations and avoiding them, valuing community and being tolerant (except for intolerance) and against discrimination somehow equals communism... I say this because I've been called a communist by many people who know me, while I have always rejected it explicitly!

Pfnic, in Defaults insults

That’s some bare metal system breakage I can get behind
