true heroes

how is mime cache related to this?

I managed successfully to make it work with udev rules in the past. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hybrid_graphics#Fully_power_down_discrete_GPU

I have two broken extensions: pop-shell and pano clipboard manager. I’ll miss pop-shell for automatic tiling big time. The other alternatives suck in comparison 😭😭😭

I know which NOT to buy

Glowies luckily lost this battle

curl cheat.sh/command is more useful because it just spits out common examples. man is only useful if you need complete documentation or need to build a complex oneliner.

I never remember hot to extract tar files. Would you dive into the documentation for that or look up a cheatsheet?

It should be possible. I’ve just recently created a virtual hard disk in virtual box and mapped it to a physical ssd and installed windows on it. just change the settings of the virtual machine to match the target hardware and it should be fine I think.

well, a computer contains sensitive information so it should always be encrypted. Even if you think you have nothing to hide

Seems like you’re fucked anyway then. This has to be solved politically.

There are only two distros in the world. Those that people hate and those that no one uses

That is a classical windows mentality. “gnome is cheap macos clone”. Gnome tries just to create a minimal and distraction free and polished DE. KDE tries to bulldose as many features as possible and that sacrifices stability and UX. Analogy would be similar to having a leaky water pipe in the roof. Gnome would fix the leaking pipe meanwhile KDE would give you a bucket and a few towels to clean that up in different ways.

“Installing APP does not require you to switch to it nor asking friends and family to use it. What it does is allowing them to reach out to you in a private way. By installing it you respect and support their choice of avoiding BAD_APP.”

On the sidenote: Just recommend Signal. It uses phone number as identifier, easy to grow by using phone book, has good track record when glowies have a warrant and most importantly it’s stable. It has flaws (no sms, not saving chat history) but there are no other alternatives available yet that beat signal for normies.

It’s a KINGSTON SA2000M81000G. Here is a “datasheet”.

I’ve looked up some of the inode numbers in the logs and they point to some application state data in /var so reinstalling application could bring those files back.

I’ve never touched SMART before since I’ve assumed it’s an HDD thing. Anyway. I’ve installed smartmontools. nvme ssds don’t report smart stats like for hdds so this answer suggested looking for Percentage used in stead.

root@archiso ~ # smartctl -a --test=long /dev/nvme0n1 | grep "Used"
Percentage Used:                    2%

It could be true that the firmware is not optimal but I could not find any news about that like you have for the 980. gnome software should keep firmware up to date in the background but just for good measure I ran it in live environment as well. I will probably get a new ssd at some point in the future and maybe use this old one for non critical storage in the future.

Well I never set up any raid on my systems

RAID? how can I check? I’m not using RAID as far as I know

So you are certain there are massive performance overhead then?
