So this is my setup, and it’s pretty cost effective. I have two 2Tb HDDs that are striped and one 500Gb SSD that’s alone. The games I play the most live on my SSD, any games I’m not really playing live on the HDD. Then I just move my games from one to another. I didn’t even have the second HDD for the longest time. I don’t bother with using the SSD as a cache anymore. There is no advantage in gameplay to striping a game, however updates and moves are faster.
systemdboot (unless I’m on a distro without systemd)… My main desktop is running Gentoo OpenRC atm
xanmod kernel… It’s literally just free performance
wayland… I have 3 monitors with 3 different refresh rates and 3 different resolutions, X11 just isn’t an option for me (smooth animations are a bonus to ig)
Unlock origin, ecosia and dark reader as extensions, regardless of browser
VSCode… I like FOSS software as much as the next guy, but I want my code editor to just work with minimal to no configuration
Fish shell, has the best autocomplete and integration of any shell
You could use VSCodium fork. I mean, it’s still the same exact shit, and I use it everyday without ANY observable difference to official builds of VSCode. Unless you end up joining the dark side one day and install 2000 ViM extentions lol
Nice, I second VSCode, although I have always a VIM version for the quick edits installed.
I just checked the website for xanmod and it looks interesting, several questions:
Do you really use it on a desktop? (The website seems to suggest it is optimized for server loads)
How exactly do you experience the difference in performance?
What is your most low tech computer you run xanmod on? (I simply heard too many times, that nowadays there is no good reason to compile your own kernel unless you have very specific needs.)
Xanmod is a gaming-optimized kernel… Idk where you read the server stuff from and the performance and the difference isn’t so much in performance… I mean there is still an uplift there but it’s more improved frame consistency (less microstutters) the games just feel more snappy.
Idk what you mean by “low tech computer” but I’ll assume that means “weakest”, I run xanmod on my main desktop PC, which is the only computer I game on, so it only makes sense there. It does tend to kill battery life on laptops and idk anything about getting it to work with nvidia (I’m on AMD). As for the “weakest” computer I’ve ran it on… tbh I don’t remember, I don’t really use a lot of low-end PCs in my daily life.
As for compiling xanmod, no reason to, 90% of the distros either have it in their main repos, or in the AUR on arch or on a copr repo on fedora. I did compile and configure it myself (I use gentoo) but the performance difference between the packaged version of xanmod and the one you compile yourself is minimal, most of the uplift comes from the kernel itself.
“The real-time version is recommended for critical runtime applications such as Linux gaming server / client for eSports, streaming, live productions and ultra-low latency enthusiasts.”
and saw that they optimize IO. (I missed the word ‘client’ above.)
Nowadays I do my gaming on a SteamDeck, I don’t own a PC powerful enough to be useful for gaming. Don’t know about Valves changes to the kernel, but I never encountered any stutters with the Deck. If I ever find the time to build a gaming PC, I’ll give this kernel a try!
… and sorry again, I wrote not very clear (non native English speaker): I wanted to express, that I always hear/read that nowadays one should simply stick to the default kernel in the distributions. Was not aware that there are big differences for gaming.
It must be hard to make your way through the world with a shatteringly low IQ. Unfortunately for you, one does not have to be Indian to object to racism… so we can confirm that your cognition is at rock bottom.
I guess that would explain why you act like such a bottom-feeder, spewing so much garbage because that’s all you like to eat.
This was fun to type, thanks for the opportunity! Go fuck a cactus :D
People will seriously believe anything just to feel superior. No wonder most people spewing bullshit like this are losers in dire need of feeling like they’re worth something.
Jokes aside, I don’t fiddle with shortcuts unless its something that involves other command(s) instead of the one(s) I currently have on my /usr/local/bin directory.
It requires 2-step verification which requires a phone number, security key or google prompt for google accounts. Hard pass :D edit: i stand corrected, this seems to have been changed
For file save/send dialogs, just drag/drop from nemo/nautilus to the file dialog instead of using the annoying navigation in the file dialog itself.
In cinnamon, use win-l,r,u,d to snap. In succession will go from full width/height to a corner. Reverse or drag the window to go back to original size. This gives you nice tiling with the flexibility of traditional window management as well.
