Not following you.

Even assuming all other factors remain same sure it uses more power but by how much? Best case by how much do you expect the increase to be ? 5-10% of their daily electricity consumption ?

And when you consider the power source, hw efficiency and so on theres no way to assess what the environmental effect an OS has.

Also you are assuming behavior of the person remains the same when using a precompiled packages v. compiling their own. I've installed many sw just to try for a few minutes and remove just to try various options. If it takes hours to compile I'd be very picky on what I install.

exa is a nice alternative to ls and tree commands. Just add an alias to them based on the views you want.

But like other comment points out avoid lots of customization if you work on various shared systems, esp SSHing in.

With my keyboard layout and other keybind customizations my system is pretty unusable to others except basic mouse on browser. Like wise i have trouble using others' systems and need to setup any new installs to a precise way before able to work. Slightly regret going too much into customization in certain aspects.

Not sure if limited to certain emulators, alt+l should do that for you

You should be putting them onto CDs. Lets you have cool covers to recognise them how old it is.

In that order?

Ran that command and rebooted. Still have the delay.

I ain't no peta.

Checked the UUID and it is the same on fstab although I am having trouble finding the config file for systemd-boot on my PopOS. Best match I found was /boot/efi/loader/entries/Pop_OS-current.conf and the UUID in there also matches from blkid.

Tried checking for systemd-boot config file to look for resume=.

This is the most relevant config file I found and didn't find resume on it. Am I looking at the right place ?

    
❯ sudo cat /boot/efi/loader/entries/Pop_OS-current.conf 
title Pop!_OS
linux /EFI/Pop_OS-f5a850fb-0b54-49f7-b84c-09d05b7d910e/vmlinuz.efi
initrd /EFI/Pop_OS-f5a850fb-0b54-49f7-b84c-09d05b7d910e/initrd.img
options root=UUID=f5a850fb-0b54-49f7-b84c-09d05b7d910e ro quiet loglevel=0 systemd.show_status=false splash

  

And yes the disk repair was only one off. Didn't get it subsequent boots.

On reboot, the delay is still present. The line #/dev/mapper/cryptswap none swap defaults 0 0 is commented out in /etc/fstab.

But it does wait 90s for the partition like you have mentioned. What do I edit to fix this ? That UUID is not in the fstab file.

I am a bit apprehensive about messing with the partition any more than I already have. A delay on a weekly boot isn't so much of an issue but wanted to make sure this wasn't something thats waiting to fail.

At least until I backup all my data I'll try above over the weekend when I would have time to reinstall if I mess it up.

Have commented out the line in /etc/fstab

    
❯ swapon -a
❯ swapon -s
Filename				Type		Size		Used		Priority
/dev/zram0                              partition	16777212	0		1000


  

Though it says /dev/zram0 and not my old swap partition, I believe this is still seeing the old swap ?

I am in agreement with most if not all the above points. Didn't agree with terming a distro the worst of anything based on a single metric.

~~ TPW~~ CPU TDP to use it as a rough efficiency metric. Probably not very accurate but roughly representative. HW meant hardware.

Maybe in many cases repurposing hardware makes sense but based on the source and cost of electricity, hw process generation it might not even be feasible to run compared to modern hw. Might be better to recycle them responsibly than keep those running.

In end I guess you realise there are many factors to consider to determine something good, bad.

So all they do in south america and elsewhere are all democratic ?

Thats part of the fun with edgy sarcasm.

Don't know if its a joke but i saw a moronic comment and to highlight the ridiculousness decided to be a bigger moron.

Didn't mean he wasnt earning well. Just clarified what the original comment meant.

They meant gain wealth like apple founders or any other big tech. Believe he derives a salary from Linux foundation for his work. I don't imagine that being anything comparable to owning large percentage of a tech company.

I wont argue as such. Unless its a divisive topic where theres no place for ambiguity, /s just takes away from the sarcasm.

To show how moronic your claim was to term it as "most environmentally harmful OS" on one single factor(cpu time).
