I'll defer upgrading my Linux Mint box for the next one or two major releases, as I'm enjoying the stability of the system and the smooth experience it enables.

MGLRU.

On my low RAM/CPU netbook it is a game changer; thanks to ZRAM the netbook is perfect for browsing the internet/light work. When running my backups (creates big tarballs) or Ansible though, my desktop/applications would freeze/stutter noticeably. Enabling MGLRU simply solved the problem of freezes/stuttering, it feels like magic and besides ZRAM, I don’t know of any other lever with this massive impact on desktop performance.

Just wanted to share this, for other users with low RAM/CPU hardware. I would assume the observed difference is less dramatic, once 8GB of RAM are available, but I would love to hear about other experiences.

I would also love to hear/learn about other levels with high impact to tweak for low RAM/CPU desktop devices. Anything else to tweak under /sys /proc which has impact on performance?

So recently I just come across Earlyoom and it has completely resolved my desktop crashing and better handles my memory, I was wondering if there is any other software that I’m missing that could potentially improve my systems resource handling?

Distro = Debian, KDE Plasma 5

I think, it is high time for Lenovo to make X series Alumunium body.

I am sure, there is a "Stupid business decision" holding it back for no gain...

They are toe-to-toe with half eaten fruit company's INSANE pricing policy to...amazing.

But, every BAD thing has a silver lining, they allow to use Linux without much hassle, which other platform are prohibiting(their last few years' offering)....meh

Everything is a file in #linux
But what is a file?
protocol followed by url
For torrent its protocol://url+hash
In a repo dir its git://path
....
Wait wtf

This library contains a database of MIME types that maps filename extensions into MIME types suitable for use in many Internet protocols such as HTTP or e-mail. It is generated from the mime.types file found in Unix systems, but has no dependency on a filesystem since it includes the contents of the database as an ML datastructure.

Over the past few months, and especially since the last holiday season, many exciting things have happened in Mobian: new devices are (about to be) officially supported, many new and improved packages have made their way into both Debian and Mobian, and we’re getting ready for our next stable release!

I mainly use trillium and want to import my notes. Unsure how to do it without windows. Even with windows the instructions seem unclear
