I prefer to put my swap partition on CD-RW.

[-] [email protected] 91 points 1 year ago

That way you'll know you've run out of physical memory when the cd-rom starts spinning up.

[-] [email protected] 61 points 1 year ago

I hate that I kind of like this point...

[-] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

Linux doesn't wait for you to be out of memory to swap-out pages.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

You can set swappiness to 0

Personally enjoy my swap on an iPod

[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

I think you meant DVD-RAM.

[-] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Sup, that would actually be possible.

Yeah, never had a problem with incompatible hardware on Linux.

No siree, not a once!

[-] [email protected] 74 points 1 year ago

Such an up and down though. I have an ancient epson scanner that cannot be used on modern windows, but I just installed the driver on linux and everything has been amazing.

Did you ever had to buy a new laptop because Linux stopped supporting the current one?

[-] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I've had the reverse. I started using arch because debian didn't have my wifi driver yet.

No but I am looking for a new laptop and this time I'll definitely spent more time checking Linux compatibility.

My previous thinkpad worked fine out of the box, but my current laptop is an HP Omen, that I mostly selected for the price to performance ratio. But I immediately learned that Linux compatibility sucked. Like not being able to boot an Ubuntu usb drive (without messing with the boot parameters).

This is not a problem with Linux, this is a problem with hardware manufacturers not making drivers for Linux.

Which is understandable, honestly. Making drivers is surely not an easy task. Targeting Windows covers the 80/20 rule.

Not true. For modern Linux you need a processor with a memory controller and 8mb of ram. If also need to be a processor from the 21 century.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

At least pentiums are still supported. Who knows what all those IBM Thinkpad users are capable of if they weren't distracted.

Would it be possible to forgo ram for just swap?

[-] [email protected] 49 points 1 year ago
[-] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

But it's possible with almost zero ram, like 32mb, but it'll be a very slow experience

Btw. If you disable the Intel ME, TPM is nonfunctional.

Yay!
