It is just not very tuned for desktop as it will lock up the system and empty every single type of buffer in the kernel before it is actually invoked.

systemd-oomd with its memory pressure model never really worked for me, even after configuring it to be fairly aggressive. My system still irreversibly locks up the second the memory and swap touches 100%. earlyoom with its more primitive model works much better and actually kills processes before the memory and swap hits the ceiling. Combine this with a 2x RAM size swap file and desktop Linux is finally as stable as Windows and macOS. It is just a shame that distros do not configure generous, dynamically growing, swap files and a good oom killer by default, and you have to discover this fundamental problem of the Linux kernel yourself on multiple different devices before realizing what you actually need to do to fix these random freezes.

Haha oh shit, you’re right. But there are some other places close to this where you can pet sheep as well, and they basically behave the same way.

Here in Sweden (since we have free roam laws you can just do this) you can walk into a field with sheep, sit down on the ground, and usually they will just walk up to you for cuddles/curiosity, even if you are a stranger. Just watch out for poop when you sit down.

Kernel level anti cheats that enable Wine/Proton support doesn’t actually run in kernel mode on Wine/Proton. Instead it allows itself to be run in user mode provided that it likes the environment enough. And maybe RDTSC latency isn’t too high?

If that is actually true then AI must have gotten really good at hacking into systems.

Rage bait?

A lot of young boys had an “edgy” phase. Let’s hope this is somewhat true here as well.

I don’t know about being easy to plug in, but Google Takeout lets you request an order of all data they have tied to your account across all services, in compliance with EU rules.

Affinity is really great. The only problem is that i can’t install it on my OS of choice.
