I’ve been using only xf for a long time now. Don’t remember ever getting an error from it in the last years. Maybe tar can now check the magic number or something to figure out what the format is?
What are you comparing it to? I’m pretty sure vnstat is using the raw.interface counters. This would include all protocol overhead. I would expect it to be higher than, for example, an application level counter.
I now know the cause of this. I have scrcpy, syncthing and KDE connect working in the background. So, if I upload something from one device to another, it gets treated as upload using data bandwidth and it gets counted, even if I am not uploading it to the internet.
The comparison is fair, but I thought vnstat only measured data bandwidth (i.e., which is used over the internet) but it’s counting file sharing too. So, the measurements are haywire.
On my desktop computer (debian testing + Sid + experimental; AMD Ryzen; Nvidia GPU RTX 3080), that I use mostly for multimedia (blender) and gaming, I avoid Wayland cause I lose 10%-15% FPS on games (both native ones n using wine/proton/proton_eggroll)… so, for me, yet, Wayland ain’t an option!!!
Personally, I haven’t had a performance hit, but many games don’t work properly. I also use a tiling window manager though. Gaming on Linux is not as easy as Wincrap. Gaming on a Tiler is harder. Gaming on Wayland on a Tiler is still quite crazy.
Should work, provided you can access the bios to choose it as the boot device. The usual issues with this are: 1. It’s a school / work PC and BIOS access is locked 2. It has weird hardware and you can’t get network access working to sort it.
