If you’re not going to post what I asked for, nobody can help you.

Or just generally df -h | grep tmpfs and look for any significant usage.

I don’t know what this tool is or how it gets its “memory” metric. If you want to continue to use it, please ascertain that these values correspond to RSS by cross checking with i.e. ps aux. RSS is the memory exclusively held by a given process which is typically what mean by the “memory usage” of any given process. Note however that this does not count anonymous pages of a process that are swapped or shared with other processes.

Going into my task manager (Resources), I can see my using is using roughly 18/32GB of RAM despite closing all apps.

This does not tell you (or us for that matter) anything without defining what “using” means here. My system is “using” 77% of RAM right now but 45% of memory is available for use because it’s cached.

Please post the output of free -h aswell as swapon.

Next, please post the contents of /proc/meminfo.

Do you use ZFS?

That doesn’t make any sort of sense in this scenario.

There cannot be differences between CoreCTRL and LACT; they use the exact same kernel interfaces.

Your issue is therefore also not connected to any of these GUIs but how the kernel applies your policies.

I’d recommend you try to reproduce the issue using just the raw kernel files and report the issue upstream: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/

Well then it sounds like it works just fine but your chosen value isn’t stable.

You can also just do the initial import on a NAS. It might take a day perhaps but, honestly, does that matter?

VR is pain enough as is; adding a Laptop with weird GPU setups into the mix is going to be even more pain.

Oh, this is the Linux gaming community. Multiply the pain by 10.

The originals remain untouched.

It is possible to override existing commands with aliases though. This is useful for setting flags by default. I have alias ls='ls --color' for instance such that whenever I run ls, it actually runs ls --color, providing colourful output.

Note that aliases are only a concept within your command line shell though. Any other program running ls internally won’t have the flag added and wouldn’t be able to use any of the other aliases either (not that it would know about them).

It’s very easy to program your own “proper” commands though on Linux. If you had some procedure where you execute multiple commands in some order with some arguments that may depend on the outputs of previous commands, you could write all that as a shell script, give it some custom name, put it in your $PATH and run it like any other command.

You could make aliases that are easier to remember for you.

If you e.g. had trouble remembering that mv does a rename, you could alias rename=mv. Ideally just put whatever you would have googled in “linux command to x” as the alias.

That’s the power of Linux; you can tweak everything to your preferences and needs.

There’s nothing further I can tell you. You’ll need to figure out which parts those sensors correspond to to draw any sort of conclusion.

I’d recommend you try the out-of-tree driver I linked. You can just rmmod the normal one and insmod the custom one at runtime.

The web version works without an account? That’d be news to me.

First of all you need to figure out which sensor this even is. On my nct6687, there’s a sensor on the PCIe slot that is constantly >90° and that appears to be totally normal.

Could you post the output of sensors?

Here is how it looks like on my machine:

Note that I use the https://github.com/Fred78290/nct6687d/ kernel module though. The upstream one doesn’t label many temps.

I generally prefer to not get shit in my mouth at all but you do you.

No that’s the trick: Mozilla corp is for-profit.

Sure but that won’t do anything about software issues :p

with regard/respect to

Whoever told you text is expensive to draw has no idea what they’re talking about.

No terminal emulator ever should affect the performance of the rest of your system.

I mean that totally w.r.t. how it feels to interact with the terminal emulator.

A screencast cannot really capture that. Practically any terminal is fast enough to render a shitton of text quickly and “smoothly”.

The difference in speed can only really be felt.

W.r.t. UI, it looks exactly like you’d expect a GTK4/adwaita terminal emulator to look.

Unless you frequently build this from source, you don’t need to care about the pandoc build-time dep.
