  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    this is the first time in many years of my GNU/Linux journey that I saw a BSOD. on my office machine BTW. personal machine has never crashed even once.
    the crash was due to 100% RAM and swap usage.

    image description:
    a mobile-clicked photo of a laptop screen. the background is full black with a sad computer image in the middle. the text below it reads: "Oh no! something has gone wrong. A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please log out and try again."
    just below it is a small button with the text "log out"

    Carelessly running too many programs and not having much RAM.

    When I get my Framework 16, I'll either get 64 or 128GBs of RAM. It's so cheap nowadays, the only thing stopping me from getting more is simply the increased time to go to sleep and wake up.

    Tends to be mem leak in bad code for me

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    Yeah i only get near 100% when I'm doing a lot of virtualization or running nyx for a long time since there's a memory leak in there.

    Wouldn't of thought nyx would be unstable.

    Not unstable nor unreliable, just a bit buggy. Every so often you gotta do a quick qq to exit and wait up to 5 minutes for it to let go of the ram. On occasion I've had to terminate the process as it was doing something wacky.

    I have 16 GB and it feels like a lot. I run virtual machines and I still have leftovers
