As others have asked, desktop or laptop

But also where is it? If it’s a “desktop” but on the floor in a deep carpet, tucked against the dark corner of the room under a desk, that’s not going to help… bring it out into the air…

And for a laptop… lift it off the desk

I created an MDF raised deck for my laptop, with a massive slot where the fan intake is underneath, that really helped it breathe.

Looking to the future, if cooling is going to be a problem, I like to over spec’ the equipment and underutilise it - it’s better to run something twice as powerful at half the load… this knowledge came from the hifi world.

It’s just asking for something to differentiate users. You don’t have to enter your actual real name.

nano for most editing

vimdiff for comparing files (Ie .pacnew files)

Thanks for posting @SocialistVibes01@lemmy.ml, that aeticle was more interesting & thought invoking than I thought it would be.

I’m using XFCE with a theme that feels like it’s from the 90’s and thinking about it, it does feel better to use than all the modern craziness that Microsoft has been doing in the last few years. I hated the Metro era…

This is a really good point.

Remember that Microsoft has patch Tuesday… so… it’s now just normal mundane patching. No sensationalism, no logos, no catchy names.

But we don’t know what’s going on in there.

Linux is now getting more news because more people are hammering it with AI, but we should hear that each item is being fixed and / or worked around with open discussions.

Well… if all the AI companies are making massive losses, might as well take some of their money from them and help them along.

Have a look on the Arch Linux wiki around udev and event debugging (evdev?)

Depending on whether you’re suspending to RAM or disk will affect the time it takes - and of course, how much stuff it has to suspend.

If you’re in the middle of a resource intensive task (which could just be watching a video… all depends…), then whatever is running needs to stop, and possibly has a full buffer which needs processing as suspend could be to the swap file / partition, which may need emptying first.

But, it should all work these days.

Top Tip: open another terminal and kill the task from there

( /s )

Just echo text to create a new file or use sed and awk to edit an existing file.

In reality, I use nano for edits and vimdiff for comparing files (usually a .pacnew after an update on a headless device)

Hmmm.

I have an issue with my media PC where if it’s turned on before the HDMI connected TV, then we can’t see the display… I wonder if this will fix that issue too by pretending the TV is always connected…

Is this a specific PC, or a general question?

All spyware needs to get the info to the spy somehow, so as others have said, it’s probably best to watch the network traffic.

But also - not so much for home, more for an office - look out for keyloggers and weird physical devices attached to the PC, they can be sending data via other methods.

And prevention is better than cure, get a good antimalware installed - and perhaps something which only allows known good (allow listing), rather than blocking known bad (block listing).

And reading the blog, I’m happy to read that it’s configurable, not mandatory… nice… like the Linux ecosystem should be

Interesting, I thought that the Ryzens were better than Intel’s offerings?

What were the issues?

So, no weird firmware issues with Framework, like Tuxedo had?

when both are available it’s hard to decide.

It’s easy to decide: AUR (only)

Personally, I use pacman for as much as I can, then dip into yay for anything else.

Yeah, an interesting piece.

As someone who’s seen the internet arrive, watched the various battles (best seen on Internet Explorer at 640x320) and tried all the latest things (why use gopher when google can search immediately), then I do think it started out well

But, yep, I’ve also seen the effects when the bills needed paying and realising that just taking things that are “free” without giving anything back is unsustainable.

That’s why I contribute when & where I can… Arch Wiki, Open Street Map, a few payments to developers and independant media sources, helping others…

But it takes some effort and I get it, not everyone has the same priorities. Yet.

I could not for the life of me make the ethernet transfer speeds be more than somewhere around 1-5 MiB/s

That’s probably a physical cable issue.

Check the connectors and / or different cables.

It’s esp. more important for 1Gbps connections as they’re more sensitive than 100Mbps

Ok, fair point

Ahhh, well spotted

Ok, yeah, late to the discussion, but that’s because I used RFC2549
