I realized it works in most programs, however it doesn’t in xwayland

And it’s precisely those xwayland programs (IntelliJ and Android Studio) that I would use this key most times

Sure, someone helped me setting up a script to share the wl socket between namespaces so I can run GUI programs in isolated namespaces, and if you look at this post you can check the namespaced-openvpn; also check vole’s answer if you want to run GUI programs

Thank you for summarizing it up

I’ve been using network namespaces in Linux where each one also use a different user; this way you can have multiple profiles of apps separated not only by permissions but also by the VPN connection that is the only route out

So you can have a connection that will supply your favorite iso sharer, a VPN connection to work, all unaware of each ot

I still haven’t figured how to make GUI media applications work on them though

Used to be messing with kernel arguments and installing/tweaking boot parameters. That was until Grub broke, I learned systemd-boot and chrooting into the system via live USB

Now if I break anything it’s just a matter of “sigh, let me get the USB and type a few commands”

Depends on config, ArchWiki recommends optmizing some sysctl values to take advantage of it

it generally starts kicking in after >60% RAM usage even with this config

That’d be over 1TB with zram on

For those who use Wayland and autostart, don’t forget to edit

/etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf

from KDE5: Session=plasmawayland

to Plasma6: Session=plasma

to confirm the exact name, check what is available under /usr/share/wayland-sessions/

if you’re stuck, try pacman -Q | grep -i kde and pacman -Q | grep -i plasma and remove everything related, then fresh install plasma-meta or plasma group and it should work

Happened once around two years ago, s botched update from mainstream or something like that. Made me learn systemd boot which is simple and never EVER use grub again

3rd gen i7 is outdated

Even a 8th gen i7 struggles to keep cool and quiet compared to Ryzens from 2019 onwards running the same stack

AMD is the gold standard for general user PCs in the last 5+ years. Intel simply cannot compete at the same energy expenditure/performance. At the same/close price/performance, Intel either burn a small thermonuclear power plant to deliver comparable performance, or simply is worse compared to similar Ryzens

Ryzens are like aliens compared to what AMD used to be before them

So I’d go with them

As for the GPU, if you want to use Linux forget Nvidia

BAT

I finally switched to AMD after 3 years in Linux, and man I didn’t even know I was suffering until I booted with AMD and didn’t have to take care of several env variables and separate modules for hw acc

It just works

ctrl isn’t stuck because entering and subsequently exiting plasma edit mode makes the default left click behavior work again, at least for some time
