That’s just the difference between an LTS and everything else though. Debian is meant to be slow to release, battle tested, and focused on stability.

They’ve about a half dozen stupid decisions just in the past decade that has garnered the tarnish on their reputation. Trying to rationalize it won’t make the issues go away.

Note that this same hate sure isn’t going towards Debian.

Good to know!

I think you’re unfamiliar with the general ideas around exactly what a display is in an OS, so don’t be offended if I break it down:

In Windows, there is only THE compositor, meaning no separate distinction from one process or another, it’s all the same display process as far the OS goes.

In MacOS, there is the compositor (the screen display manager) that loads first, and everything after that is a subprocess that handles different things: login security, window management, launcher, search…etc.

In Linux everything is generally separate. Your first login screen is its own process, which then calls another process to load your DE or whatever, and then everything is handed off after that.

If all you want is a “Kiosk Mode”, you just skip everything else. No display manager, login manager, DE…etc. You just boot the kernel, and have a compositor load. That compositor will then be responsible for displaying what you launch from there. So you Daisy chain things like that, and skip all the stuff you don’t need.

Wayland isn’t going to be your issue if you’re saying you’re building something from scratch. It’s pretty lightweight on its own, because it’s just a framework of libraries and APIs.

The compositor and environment you build around that is what will be taking the majority of resources to run whatever rinterface you’re going to have.

Sway is fairly minimal, but if you just run a bare compositor layer and figure out a launcher from there, it would be lighter. But you’re talking about Megabytes of difference, so it’s not going to be much different.

Edit: also, I was assuming you’re asking about memory, but could be wrong.

In Gentoo, emerge compiles packages from source on practically every machine you set up. matrixOS remedies this by building once and distributing binaries, so you skip the compilation wait entirely.

Okay, soooooo…basically disregarding the entire point and benefit of Gentoo? The entire reason you’d want to build from source on a specific machine or architecture is for the compiler optimizations done on that hardware. Just shipping binaries around is normal, so I’m not getting what the point is here.

Lolwut?

You think that’s why Canonical and RedHat make money, huh? 🤣🤣🤣

Symlinks are just links to a hard file. Unless you’re setting specific flags, you’re coming the hard files along with everything else. I’d run a dedupe script on your copied files and see if you didn’t happen to double up on some things.

Depends on how the code is using it. You could look deeper, but that’s not what OP is asking for help with.

It’s not about how big they are really, it’s about how many can be open at a time. Without sane limits, then anything is a ticking time bomb.

Reduce the number of active connections, or the total number of active transfers available at once, and that will lower that number.

If you’re POSITIVE your memory situation is in good shape (meaning you’re not running out of memory), then you can increase the max number of open files allowed for your user, or globally: https://www.howtogeek.com/805629/too-many-open-files-linux/

Again: if you do this, you will likely start hitting OOMkill situations, which is going to be worse. The file limit set right now are preventing that from happening.

You have a process holding open a bunch of FD’s. Instead of just blindly increasing the system limits, try and find the culprit with something like: lsof | awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr

That will give you a list of which processes are holding open descriptors. See which are the worst offenders and try and fix the issue.

You COULD just increase the fd open max, but then you actually will more than likely run into OOMkill issues because you aren’t solving the problematic process.

Back up a bit because you’re conflating a number of things, so let me try to break it down:

1. If you’re using Hyprland, you’re losing all the power management features of the more fully featured DE’s like Gnome or KDE. This isn’t a flaw, it’s just an acceptance of the trade-off.
2. Unless you’ve directly intervened, the power profiles are set to whatever your distro installs and sets from the initial install. Which leads to…
3. There are different defaults for powered vs battery by default. If you’re on a laptop and you don’t have the DE helpers, you’re on your own.
4. The hardware power management built in to your laptop may be playing a role here, so check your BIOS
5. Check dmesg to see what live changes your hardware controllers might be making
6. Check the Framework forums for keywords related to “Hyprland” to see if somebody has easy scripts for you to help. Otherwise, just switch to a DE that manages power the way you’d expect.

Your power restrictions are preventing the higher power settings.

If you’re using Gnome or KDE, you can use the applets to just turn it up a notch and get more brightness.

PXE is unnecessary unless you’re going to be creating a reusable boot image. Just faster to use LiveUSB.

What did you getaid off, and what are you trying to apply to? Maybe help to understand on what you’re trying to learn.

Just for your own sanity, just install Talos on the 3 machines, understand how to join them to a cluster, then deploy some stuff around the cluster. Get a feel for the basics before you get into the mess of trying to do it all in VMs.

I’d also check some comparisons on the various flavors of different lube stacks: k3s, microk8s, kubedge…etc. Theres so many now it’s hard to track.

Because you’re being rate limited. Don’t let these tools constantly hammer Github’s API in mass fits and starts or you may get a back off from GH.

Neh
