There’s a reason these browsers use that much memory. Something in living there and that’s not just overhead. You can’t realistically reduce that by a reasonable amount by just using another browser while retaining functionality.
I think we have a very different definition of quick, my friend. I’ve been on Linux for about a year and a half, most of which on Arch and recently on NixOS.
CP/M. Ya got me there. I guess I can say EOS though ( Coleco ADAM ) and Tandy DOS 2.1.
If you don’t want to jump straight into Arch, give EndeavourOS a go. It is only 20 packages on top of the 90,000 you get in Arch ( so, it is Arch ) but it is a breeze to install and is sensibly configured out of the box. Once installed, it is Arch ( don’t let the elitists tell you it isn’t ). It uses the real Arch repos and runs the real Arch kernels. Of course, if you have the time, vanilla Arch may be even more fun.
For a software RAID like this, you don’t want a hardware RAID controller, per se – you just want a bunch of ports. After my recent controller failure, I decided to try one of these. It’s slick as hell, sitting close to the motherboard, and seems rock solid so far. We’ll see!
The only thing I tile is windows on the secondary vertical monitor, simple stack of two windows on top of each other. There it works well, as that monitor mostly gets used for monitoring long running processes, webcam for the 3d printer and stuff like that. It’s not windows I actively engage with, but just something running at the side to keep an eye on.
For my main monitor I never quite saw the point. I don’t like windows being off to the side, creates too much perspective distortion on a big monitor to be comfortable to look at, I like them in the center. When I put a window in the center, there isn’t enough space left to the sides to do much useful with, even a simple shell starts line breaking in ugly ways.
I do tile inside Emacs, but even there it’s mostly just a simple vertical tile (code at the top, compiler output at the bottom).
Also maybe try to search for a video on how to create and boot using a live session. People here are giving wonderful advice on how to do it but seeing it done visually will be the easiest way to understand it
It’s around the same for me, altough windows is slightly better when battery saver is activated (hp pavilion 14 with an i7 1255u, windows 11 and fedora 38)
this might help with secureboot. By the way, Googling your problem concisely (e.g. ventoy secureboot acer laptop) can help find solutions, or at least give you ideas to try before asking here.
I am currently back to running EndeavourOS after PopOS had severe issue running.
Hibernate/sleep out of the box seems to function just fine on my desktop. I’m running a Ryzen 3600, Nvidia RTX 2060, 32GB ddr4 21xx.
It is setup to lock itself after about ten minutes. Then if no activity for an hour will go into sleep/hibernate. Mouse will not wake it but keyboard works fine and I’m back to login within 10s or so.
