btop reports some gpu, network and disk information that I don’t think shows up in htop, feels a bit more comprehensive maybe? Both are fine, but I too use btop, it’s nice.
Random trivia: I think btop has been rewritten like 3-5 times now? It’s sort of an inside joke to the point that someone suggested another rewrite from C++ to Rust ( https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/issues/5 ). I guess the guy just likes writing system monitoring console apps.

Taking ollama for instance, either the whole model runs in vram and compute is done on the gpu, or it runs in system ram and compute is done on the cpu. Running models on CPU is horribly slow. You won’t want to do it for large models
LM studio and others allow you to run part of the model on GPU and part on CPU, splitting memory requirements but still pretty slow.
Even the smaller 7B parameter models run pretty slow in CPU and the huge models are orders of magnitude slower
So technically more system ram will let you run some larger models but you will quickly figure out you just don’t want to do it.
FWIW they didn’t merge it, they closed the PR without merging, link to line that still exists on master.
The recent comments are from the announcement of the ladybird browser project which is forked from some browser code from Serenity OS, I guess people are digging into who wrote the code.
Not arguing that the new comments on the PR are good/bad or anything, just a bit of context.
Been 100% linux for like 6-9 months now, these stories make me thankful for finally making the switch.
I’ve tried to make the switch 3-4 times in the past and was stopped by 2 main things:
The experience was so much better this time and I really have no regrets. I don’t imagine I’ll ever run Windows again outside of a VM
Hopefully you’re only forwarding the minimal set of network ports and not all ports/traffic? If so then you’re good, like someone else said if you’ve got a router and it’s forwarding selected traffic then no need for anything else
Tons of remote jobs out there, probably a higher percentage for startup jobs. Most remote places will have people in different time zones and some sort of core hours they expect people to be in, but having some discussion you’ll probably be able to find one that’s accommodating.
One good site to start looking:
Good luck

Seems like arch gets KDE into stable within a couple days of release generally. Or there’s the kde-unstable repo that already has it
Most steam games just work. Make sure to go to settings and compatibility and let it use compatibility for all games. Look at something like bottles for a front-end to let you set up and use wine / proton for other launchers, etc….
Rip up the Reddit contract and don’t use that data to train the model. It’s the definition of a garbage in garbage out problem.
Fwiw they’re able to do the same thing by the sound of someone typing a password across the room. Not advocating for fingerprints or anything, just these exotic hacks are everywhere
Step 1: move data from files into a database
Step 2: delete files
Step 3: press release that we just deleted the files
Google, probably
I like that. If there was a site that did like The Razzies for movies but for technology enshitification, I would definitely watch, and probably follow a blog if it was done well
Just a note, the orange pi drivers are not in great shape. It’s getting better but I have a cluster of raspberry pi’s for development, bought an orange pi without first checking out much about them and it’s rough. Rockchip CPUs are great, and the driver / firmware situation is getting better, but something I’d read up on before buying one.
I’d still look at the N100, it’s about 2.5x the performance of raspberry pi 5, and being x86 you have more options than arm.
There are a lot of tiny PCs these days that can output 4k video and audio. Look for something with an N100 or N200 CPU if you want to go as cheap as possible, they tend to be super-cheap and perform well. I’ve got one of the GMTecs and this wireless keyboard+mouse, works really well from the couch.
There are cheaper/other options but to get you started: https://www.amazon.com/GMKtec-Windows-Computer-Business-G3-dp-B0CQ4XQ2WG/dp/B0CQ4XQ2WG https://morefine.com/collections/pc-box (specifically the M9)
If you don’t like docker take a look at containerd and podman. I haven’t done any cuda with podman but it is supposed to work
If that’s true, that dude had the worst case of the munchies ever
