For sure, and it's a chill question. Unlike the other comment, I totally celebrate your fucking about with settings you don't understand, it's great. I've practically made a career of it myself :D

This is normal. This is a topic with a lot of complexities if you drill down into the details and history, but the tl;dr is certain system processes and other programs will preferably write data to swap because it's so infrequently needed, and avoids massive slowdown if swap is needed, eg RAM filling, hibernation.

If you're absolutely sure you'll never exceed 32gb of RAM usage, you can turn the swap off. But you're unlikely to notice a performance boost, Linux does (largely) know what it's doing, moreso than you or I.

The TankieTanuki link is a good place to start to learn more if you really want to tweak it.

What, no rankine?

I would know this as tmux, is there a difference?

This is too generous honestly, they basically Blairites, ie the left wing of the right wing. Officially opposed corbyn and all

I would look at BIOS secyre boot/boot mode options. And depending on the age of the PC whether it supports UEFI or you need a legacy boot.

Why is Firefox not secure storage?

Chrome has no master password option?! 🤮

Unless you really really need portability between devices, paying for an online password manager is idiotic in my view, you're generally just waiting for someone to hack it (which happens all the time).

I use firefox's local, inbuilt manager and that's everything I need.

Descriptivists will never haltodulate the hatsrglabatude of us prescriptivists.

Yes. May need to turn off secure boot too.

Are they installed on separate drives? Depending on the exact setup, Linux and windows both generally support legacy as a boot method, so you may be able to just BIOS to select a boot drive.

They simply don't want to. Construction company owners are some of the richest and ones who do the most lobbying to MPs.

Paradox games! Stellaris, Victoria 3, CK3, HOI4, etc. They just make the effort with all their games and it's great

I tend to have ~10,000 tabs because I obsessively fail to clean up. But it never takes much memory or cpu, my PC isn't amazing yet Firefox is always lightning quick.

I've never used the discard or merge windows features though, I can see why those might cause issues. I assume these two functions just aren't optimised for so many tabs.

One addon I might recommend to help keep numbers down is Duplicate Tab Closer, which has options to specify how similar tabs can be to be considered duplicates, and also will detect across all open windows if desired.

I assume if this were even 1% winnable that Epic Games would've done this long ago

My comrades on Lemmy, though sometimes insular, are some of the friendliest, most supportive people I've ever known online.

Those lanthanides... are we not terming a lethal radiation dose as rectal damage?? Or are you assuming an ideal isotope?

Honestly, IRC was a very functional, easy, free, low-resource and privacy friendly chat protocol and I don't really see why it got left behind. If you wanted image/ file support that could really be implemented client and/or server side.

You can't trust any of it to be totally secure, it's effectively impossible. But, this is true of all software, at least open source is being audited and scrutinised all the time (as demonstrated).

All you can do is follow best practices.
