Linux@programming.dev•Using ZRAM on a laptop with 8 GB RAM. Worth it or waste of CPU?English
3·11 months agoI have some Linux installed on my x240, Mini PC, and 12th Gen Intel Core i3 laptop with ZRAM without any issues.
Here are screenshots of the dual boot Linux on my old Mini PC, Celeron with 8GB RAM and 500GB HDD

Linux@programming.dev•The year of the European Union Linux desktop may finally arriveEnglish
6·11 months agoIn my opinion, EU needs to force PC/laptop and other hardware manufacturers to provide drivers for Linux. Without this step, it will make it harder for them to move away from M$ Windows.
We gonna fork him into isekai world!

Linux@programming.dev•The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOfficeEnglish
51·1 year agojust happened, a few days ago I installed dual boot of EndeavourOS and OpenMandriva replacing Windows 7, on my potato mini PC. (Celeron 1007U, 8GB RAM, 512GB HDD)
Hardware support really sucks, as many hardware manufacturers only care about supporting M$ Windows.
There’s a way to force them to provide drivers for Linux, let’s say the trade commission in any country forces all devices to have drivers for Linux.

Linux@programming.dev•My week with Linux: I'm dumping Windows for Ubuntu to see how it goesEnglish
3·1 year agoMy laptop did not go to sleep
Some people have similar experiences regarding sleep issue, including system just went blank on wake up.
From my experiences on Linux Mint in two different laptops, the sleep issue related to Linux system cache. By default, many Linuxes use these settings, vm.dirty_ratio and vm.dirty_background_ratio are about 5 to 20 percent of the available system memory. This is fine if your system has less than 4GB of memory installed, but if your system has 8GB or more of memory, this can cause problems later on.
So I have this “can’t wake up” issue on my two differents laptop, the first laptop has 8 GB of memory and the second laptop has 16 GB. And both laptops are running on Linux Mint.
In search of a solution, I came across this conversation https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/25/39
I also found some possible system cache related issues on various distros.
So I tried what Linus suggested, and I use lower values than suggested. And it worked!, the “can’t wake up” issue on both laptops just gone in instant!

Linux@programming.dev•Ubuntu 25.04 & Fedora 42 Hit A Long Sought Milestone With HDR Support Working Well On The Linux DesktopEnglish
7·1 year agooh great news!!
I remember some people kept mocking Linux desktops for lack of HDR support, which was strange because they were also using Linux for application development purposes.

Linux@programming.dev•"I installed Linux (so should you)" by PewDiePieEnglish
22·1 year agonot a fan of PDP, but the video has been viewed 2.8 Million times in less than 24 hours. nearly beat his 3 Million video views from 3 weeks ago
yeah it looks good, at least Linux gains more attention
My next issue is that sometimes it just hard-freezes. Zero warning, under no load, I can’t even move the mouse. Linux on the desktop
You may want to consider fixing the system cache value.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/10/25/39
I use lower values than Linus suggested.
I would like to try Solus along with other Linux, unfortunately Solus uses systemd-boot rather than GRUB. 😔😔

Linux@programming.dev•What's the most "set and forget" Linux distro that's still flexible these days?English
72·2 years agoThe whole separation between APT and snap packages doesn’t work well together and is really the big problem I have, as a lot of standard deb packages just refuse to install properly now.
since you are mention deb packages, I would consider these
- Linux Mint
- PopOS
- Rhino Linux (somekind of rolling release distro based on ubuntu)
- LMDE

Linux@programming.dev•I'm Not a Programmer, but Here’s Why Linux Is My Daily DriverEnglish
41·2 years agoAs a M$ Windows user for years, I can tell you there’s little to no incentive in Linux development. That’s why M$ Windows is so much better than Linux, they give incentives / rebates to hardware manufacturers if they can sell pre-installed Windows PCs/Laptops. So they are willing to build device drivers to support Windows.
I don’t get it why you have to blame Samba devs? SMB protocol was built by M$. It’s not easy to build something like Samba, at least they need to analyze how the SMB protocol works. If you want a better compatibility for sharing data with SMB you should use M$ Windows.

I’ve tried it on PipePipe, and the results are the same. I don’t think you’ll find it, because there are no comparison videos without AI slop.
