luthis, 1 year ago (edited 1 year ago) to linux 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?

After boot, I’m using 2GB. I haven’t noticed Linux doing the ram-hog thing like Windows at all. But Firefox is currently using 8GB.

Just restarted Firefox and it’s using 2.5GB now. I think it stores a lot in ram from video.

Fixed it, I had to delete the images

I haven’t actually touched selinux at all… It’s not ‘officially supported’ in Arch yet, although there are compatible packages available. I only recently discovered PAM which I have yet to learn too.

Arch is for advanced people

I’d say mid… the Arch install process has got a lot simpler over the years and the wiki a lot better.

If you can google duckle effectively, I reckon even a sharp-minded beginner could handle it.

luthis, 1 year ago to linux in Noob question: what to arrange before switching to linux

Note that there isn’t a Linux version of the protondrive app. … I know! what the fuck right?

Secondly, I would just shove Linux Mint onto a USB and use that as a live distro with persistence for a while, just to get used to things. I’m not a fan of debian(/-based) or apt, but it works.

Yeah, metal as fuck WiFi regressions!

luthis, 1 year ago to linux in Easiest way to switch distros

How did you get on with this? I was looking to do this myself.

It’s that one step closer to having a customised disposable distro

luthis, 1 year ago to linux in Video editor for Linux?

You could try kdenlive.org and www.openshot.org

I haven’t done much editing, but they are fairly popular and decent tools. They also come as an AppImage, which means they pretty much ‘just work.’

And handbrake.fr gets a mention for transcoding.

luthis, 1 year ago to piracy in It's funny how google pretends the music on YouTube isn't straight up piracy and everyone just goes along with it

So does that mean albums ripped and uploaded to Youtube do result in royalties being paid to the artists?

What about in the case where there are no ads?

Live music isn’t what I’m referring to though, it’s the ripped and uploaded albums

luthis, 1 year ago to linux in Does `cp -v` print out the file name when it starts copying it or when it's done?

All hail the rsync!

We thank the rsync for it’s unwavering reliability.

Amen.

Same!

I think you mean this one

luthis, 1 year ago to lemmyshitpost in Onions are a violation of the terms of service.

I comment less times per month than days per month so… it’s not that.

As a protonvpn user on linux (arch) I can say that it is totally fine for me. I am using Gnome though.
