curious. im running all regular gui software and i usually only go over 8gb when im pushing it harder. the only time i do consistently is while gaming and even then im always below 16gb.

what distro are you running? do you have KSM enabled?

what do you use it for to be filling 8gb on linux?

its great on linux (regular distro, not particularly lightweight) and reasonable on windows 10 for me.

unless you are pushing too many tabs and/or many heavy programs

im forced to use it at work and holy shit. 11 is so heavy for no reason, 8gb of ram is not remotely enough anymore, even if you yank out some of the garbage. theres no apparent change in functionality to justify it.

the ssd smart says its almost at its end, and i suspect its because its constantly swapping. paging file is always full, unless i set it to something big like 8+ gb

what are the practical advantages/disadvantages of this over vaapi?

and its actually pretty sad that he died of old age after a long comfy life

i usually advocate for a more restrictive license for commercial use, to avoid openssl type situations. where huge corpos will take it, use it to build big infrastructure without compensating the creator at all, and not even bothering to help with maintenance.

canonical and libreoffice are examples of companies that do commercial support contracts. proxmox is an example of free for personal use, but paid for businesses.

im talking about licensing and business models, by giving a few examples of how devs can be paid while being free and open for users, but paid somehow for companies. and how that doesnt necessarily mean it has to be closed.

is ubuntu not open source then? or libreoffice?

if so, sure.

i think you misunderstood it.

take a look at libreoffice, proxmox, pfsense, flexiwan, canonical, redhat if you want an example of this business model actually working, at different stages of success.

i tought this was gonna be boring, barely beneficial wsl enablement, but they are working on memory allocation. why?

redirect a bit more of it to the devs and you get a bigger and better ecosystem.

make it free for non-commercial use.

oh fuck, this one always hurt. simulating chrome through a user agent swap works?

what stops you from using firefox for everything else?

i mean if you login with google on any google site on firefox, it will also log you in to everything…

and being cleaner is a matter of habit tbh, they look very similar

what i want to understand beyond just “did you know chrome bad” is why laymen are so insistent on it.

so we can break it.

it even demands rent for using your computer in the form of licensing, and possibly recurring payments in the future.

did they update gamescope to work with xorg?

even if you do, youd need an account

so, socialism?

tankie to the rescue
