If you have 0B’s total enabled, not to be confused with used, then I’d recommend either enabling zswap or zram. zram compresses only ram and zswap compresses ram and then moves it to the drive as needed. Enabling one will improve your experience in general as currently your system just will try to shove everything in ram until it is full and need hard reset.

See [https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Swap#Swap_file](Arch Wiki Swap) and [https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Zswap](Arch Wiki zSwap)

It will still be faster than hitting the drives, whether that is a hard drive or nvme ssd. The compression code is highly optimized.

What “background services” breaks down to is things like the desktop. In the system monitor you can see a breakdown of what that is if you click on “show details sidebar” in top right. On my system for instance, plasmashell and kwin combined(the interface) is taking 700mb. Without the info from the sidebar it is harder to give advice.

Baloo is used for searching you system for files including contents. You can disable it if it isn’t something you’d use, limit it to certain directories or limit it to file names only. It will be under search in settings.

Edit: Also check how much swap you have enabled in the system monitor overview. You might look into turning on zram support if it isn’t already enabled which will compress ram as needed which might improve your experience.

for me Jonah is an alias for “John Baron” which is an alias for someone the world would be better off without.

Isn’t that the basic business model of any social media corporation ?

I have seen many posts over the last couple of years about google getting worse and I haven’t notice that. I do have an ad blocker that blocks ads, most ai and I skip past that faq list by habit. So maybe that is why I haven’t notice as I am not looking at those false paid-for results.

The drives should work fine, for standard blurays and self wrote disks. There are a mature cli utilities and often the gui version is just a frontend for the cli tools. It is just an optical drive otherwise.

Arch Linux Wiki : https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Blu-ray

Check out makemkv, which has a cli option, and their forum for compatibility for 4K blurays. Newer bluray drives have additional protection for 4K if I understood correctly.

Way to expensive for most. Meta has their devices under $1000 compare to $3500. Out of touch with rest of the market. Valve’s Steam Frame probably would be around/less than $1000.

Yeah and you’d think GNU would like the recognition too.

I’d rather have a little demon than a simp

Couldn’t they just call it IMP(Image Manipulation Program)?

I have heard it used that way in the last decade I think

To be confused that requires them to try to think about it outside of them watching porn

I Ad Block most of the AI with the ads. Make a big difference of success of finding what I am trying to find and get away from unreliable results.

Honestly, I’ve been to parts of the US where it was more noticeable when I saw a black person. Some summers I’d only see 2 or 3 people there. Kind of creepy honestly. I’d see more people of asian decent there.

Ad block. Block the AI stuff so you are forcing yourself to do things. If something “easy” is available, most will take they easy route. I is like cars that “drive”, but you have to pay attention and keep your hands on the wheel. Many aren’t going to do those 2 things reliably if you are given a reason not to.

I think the situation of first fear is incomplete. You’d be expanding your existing job pool. You can still fall back on your nursing degree. It isn’t going anywhere. Some places may say you are “overqualified” for that position, but that doesn’t preclude them from hiring you.

Do you see age discrimination where you work? I mean it is still the same job environment.

Is this really something you want to pursue? If it is, why not.
