A lot of people will probably tell you that what you’re asking for is an oxymoron. It’s not, it sounds very cool, it just occupies a point on the spectrum that’s likely to take a lot of work to keep in an arbitrary balance between rock solid and bleeding edge.
Seconded, Alacritty has been great to me
Dude I’m not interested in going scorched earth on one of the most useful repositories of practical information and discussion, and I’m disturbed that you’re so zealous to do so.
I wouldn’t, but my biology disagrees.
I have 64GB as future proofing (ITX board, two slots, can’t address any more). Normally I probably use 8 to 10 of those doing things like gaming and hoarding internet tabs like they’re a nonrenewable resource. I actually managed to crash my machine with an out of memory condition compiling something a while back. I don’t remember what and I’m sure it doesn’t count as regular use but I installed ZRAM to prevent it from happening again.
I enjoy retrogaming as much as the next guy but it makes the Linux community look detached from reality to suggest that video games are a commodity. People want to play specific games. If pleading with people to be satisfied with native offerings was a winning argument it would have won twenty years ago. Emulation is an incredible experience on Linux but to do it legally requires you to already own the proprietary rom and bios almost without exception, which I notice is conveniently omitted from the discussion.
I currently use a combo of btop and radeontop for this. For GPU monitoring I’ve also used nvtop.
But convincing tech companies to make webpages bigger seems difficult.
Do we live in opposite universes or something?
Yes. The bottleneck with games consoles has basically always been how fast you can get into data into memory and optical media has become a limiting factor in the last few hardware generations. I would say games started recommending installation to reduce load times in the late 360/PS3 era and have slowly started requiring it as the latest games are targeted at systems with SSDs and no optical drive at all.
I use btop, iotop, jnettop, and radeontop. I rarely need any individual piece of information any of them but they make for an incredible spread of blinkenlights.
Ah, I think I’ve bumped into that on accident using qtile. It’s been inconsistent and I assumed that had to do with the window type. It might, but I also might be using the wrong key. Thanks.

So what the hell is alt drag?
Thanks for sharing Linuxquestions. I’m new to the ecosystem but my stuff works well for my current needs, so being exposed to people’s problems and the methods for approaching them is a great way to passively expand my knowledge.
No that seems to be entirely about Twitter.
Yeah hi can someone explain the logic involved in advocating for Free Lossless Audio Codec as a method for storing photos?
For the people in the back
My vote also goes to qtile. Easily configured and very capable.
I do this. It’s part of a GPU passthrough setup, but in practice there aren’t many applications that require PRIME offload. I don’t use it for web browsers where I watch a lot of videos. I haven’t used VLC in a little bit but I’m pretty sure I don’t use it there either. Games and graphical applications. If I was doing video editing or modeling I would probably want it there too.
I haven’t used any of the arch install scripts but they seem to have regular problems. Doing it the usual way is a proper way to roll your own but it doesn’t give you options. You have to know what you want, or you have to know where to find out what exists.
The guided installer is going to be important to a type of person we’re going to see more and more of: power users that know what they want to do, but for whom the Linux ecosystem is a foreign and fractous entity what uses entirely unfamiliar nomenclature.
