That'd be over 1TB with zram on

Considering it's almost always 30°C+ 60%+ RH at least half of the year where I live, yes

Refrigerating them increases their shelf life significantly in these conditions

It's probably less effective in other cooler and drier climates

For those who use Wayland and autostart, don't forget to edit

    
/etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf



  

from KDE5: Session=plasmawayland

to Plasma6: Session=plasma

to confirm the exact name, check what is available under /usr/share/wayland-sessions/

if you're stuck, try pacman -Q | grep -i kde and pacman -Q | grep -i plasma and remove everything related, then fresh install plasma-meta or plasma group and it should work

Happened once around two years ago, s botched update from mainstream or something like that. Made me learn systemd boot which is simple and never EVER use grub again

Already switched to AMD to enjoy it

I figured the root cause of the problem and a workaround. Journalctl shows this info when starting SVP:

• Video: 0 GPU OpenCL device(s) on rusticl [OpenCL 3.0] (Mesa/X.org)*

this thread says rusticl is broken

https://www.svp-team.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3167&p=17

therefore disabling hardware acceleration, for now, makes svp work again

AMD is the gold standard for general user PCs in the last 5+ years. Intel simply cannot compete at the same energy expenditure/performance. At the same/close price/performance, Intel either burn a small thermonuclear power plant to deliver comparable performance, or simply is worse compared to similar Ryzens

Ryzens are like aliens compared to what AMD used to be before them

So I'd go with them

As for the GPU, if you want to use Linux forget Nvidia

Yeah, it's advertised as 160hz and even amdgpu_top (which uses xrandr or something like it) says 159.96hz is the first preferred mode, the second being 100hz

I had this problem before with a Nvidia card which reset to 144hz after an update and I could never enable it again. However it's a mystery as to why it boots up at 160hz in systemd-boot console, and goes back to 144hz when entering KDE or turning the display off

BAT

I finally switched to AMD after 3 years in Linux, and man I didn't even know I was suffering until I booted with AMD and didn't have to take care of several env variables and separate modules for hw acc

It just works

lol my cat actually meows and asks to be vacuumed

Just wish obsidian had better encryption support

How does it differ from arch install + choosing the DE?

My most paranoid config is disabling Ipv4

That's it. If someone wants to attack me, they will need to adopt IPv6!
