Note that it speaks of the "official version" in the next sentence, which seems to me like there will be inofficial versions which requires a more permissive license

But we'll see

But be careful, you can pretty easily break stuff by messing up fstab

If you think "more humans" is the only thing you can contribute to society, you have failed not biologically, but in every other aspect

I can get a 10TB HDD for under 250€, and there are some technical advantages. For example, if you have an ssd lying around unpowered, it will lose data much quicker than magnetic storage

This may be a stupid question but is your video cable plugged into the gpu or into the motherboard?

In your case I would just start by copying a full setup someone else made and then customizing it, starting from scratch always takes a lot of effort. Reddit's unixporn was great for that, the alternatives on lemmy are sadly still a little empty.

ffmpeg can do this easily, but I don't have a full command for you right now

I'm also unable to see the difference directly, but everything just feels more snappy. If you can't feel it, maybe you have some extra latency from somewhere else

Almost all programs use both 32bit and 64bit integers, sometimes even smaller ones, if possible. Being memory efficient is critical for performance, as L1 caches are still very small.

Garbage collection is a feature of programming languages, not an OS. Almost all native linux software is written in systems programming languages like C, Rust or C++, none of which have a garbage collector.

Swap is used the same way on both linux and windows, but kicking toolbar items out of ram is not actually a thing. It needs to be drawn to the screen every frame, so it (or a pixel buffer for the entire toolbar) will kick around in VRAM at the very least. A transfer from disk to VRAM can take hundreds of milliseconds, which would limit you to like 5 fps, no one retransfers images like that every frame.

Also your icon is 1.1Mbit not 1.1MB

I have a gentoo install that uses 50MB of ram for everything including its GUI. A webbrowser will still eat up gigabytes of ram, the OS has literally no say in this.

If you look at its protondb page, it seems there was an issue with the nvidia drivers that got fixed, so it may work better now. It's still only silver-rated though, so there are probably issues left. Admittedly, I'm sidestepping a lot of this as I have an AMD gpu, but even with nvidias quality drivers games with such issues tend to be more of an exception.

I have ~200 games in my steam library, all of which run by pressing "play" in steam. I may just accidentally like games that run on linux, but running through 150 pages of forums definitely isn't the norm nowadays
