If you(or your distro) use zram then the zram usage may also count as swap in resource monitors. For me this was the case when i saw swap usage where it is clearly not needed to swap. You can check it with swapon commands.

Other reason is that more frequently accesed files may be cached to ram and less important stuff gets swapped. But if you notice swap being used while total ram usage including cached is much lower than total, then its probably zram(and it does (Edit:)not write to disk so dont worry about that)

It doesn’t require, but they use rust as an excuse to do that. Ubuntu’s attempts at rust rewrite was all license change iirc.

Wow thats how it should be. Ya know the original reddit community of it was the same banning anyone countering

Well if it dissolved any insulation, it will not work, as the coil isnt even coiling. It is not a one big coil buy just two ends shorted(or as in the picture, a very small coil. Since this works i can only conclude coating does not dissolve in acetone

I belive nextcloud integration is there in KDE, but it don’t have stuff like google account and such integrations(which is a plus for me)

In my case it’s 512GB ssd from which i gave 70 gb for windows… Now that my home partition is almost full(6gb free), i am looking at you, winslop

(Btw windows alone takes around 60gigs iirc, so i already pushed it’s limit)

Damn my 70gigs on my SSD is left alone

I wished android is affected but no

Oh man sorry I already know wine is reverse engineered stuff, but it still can be “based on” windows in a sense that you looked at windows to remake wine.

My question was if that reference was win11 or older windows versions

And wine 11 is based on win11?(is it tho?)

Ctrl+alt+del is reboot right? Also iirc that was also a systemd service(ctrl-alt-delete.service?)

I hate thoose timeouts. If only there was a way to manually trigger that timeout on shutdown tty, say Ctrl-C or something which can kill it

Why?

I mean messing with circuitry around a hard drive can also be problematic

That was still i was reffering to. I am still kinda scared to solder in there. Fault in the connector circuit may also end ir

I do have a soldering iron, but god forbid i won’t open up a hard disk lol(even if this is less risky to open this one)

I am surprised everyone think the same thing as me

Probably. I run Fitgirl GTA V with wine

I have to input my experience here.

On what basis are you saying your batter life is less on linux? Do you use power profiles? Which distros you tried? And what kind of laptop is it?(processor is H/U/HS? Have dGPU?)

For me battery life is far better on linux than on windows. On linux(Fedora, with KDE), with balanced or power saving mode, doing the most basic stuff(say opened a pdf document and a browser and looking at it, without much interaction) my laptop, with dGPU and H processor takes like 7watts, giving more than 7hrs batter life for my 51Wh battery.

Windows on the other hand, without any tasks, only settings app open, showed less than 2 hours battery remaining at 80% charge. I didn’t test how long it takes to drain that much battery explivitly, but I belive this number is based on power usage in watts. Which tells me it is using more than 20W power. The reviews for my laptop before buying also said they get around 4 hours in medium usage.

I suspect that previously, the time before power profiles daemon, everything is by default in performance mode because it was aiming PCs, but now it goes so low with power saving modes. The 20W in windows is probably bloatware running in background.

Now, recently I came to know you can “remove” pci devices in linux so that power gets disconnected from the dGPU. Now whenever i use without it plugged in, i use it by removing gpu and it runs in 3.6-4.2W at idle(i.e, open pdf without touching anything, or using vim and compiler in a terminal) which gives me 12 hours of battery life atleast! Theese numbers are unimaginable in windows for my gaming laptop.

This is not just one exception, since my only friend who use linux also reported the same behavior. Windows uses wayyy more battery than linux. And he was even comparing power saving mode in windows vs perdormance mode in linux and linus still wins by 3-4 watts.

I wish more people check theese, since I belived “linux has bad battery life” argument beforehand and only when I compare with windows i found i am gaining a lot of battery life on linux
