If the partition where your OS stores boot images at is large enough, you can have practically infinitely many kernels in grub.

Some distros store those in a boot partition. Some store it in the root partition subdir. I don’t know about ubuntu tbh.

I once had a 2gb boot partition and I needed to add a graphics stack to the boot image so I could use a touchscreen keyboard during boot to enter a LUKS password. That made a single kernel image over 1gb, so I could only have one…

If it ever gets open sourced, anybody will just use it without paying.

but maybe there is an actual explanation for HDMI Forum’s decision that I am missing.

Licensing money.

It still could be. For example, on my desktop I still have cpu governor profiles and the energy saving one is clocked rather low.

I’m pretty sure thats not possible wifhout some custon extension or script.

Is your laptop maybe in powersave mode?

You didn’t provide any details, so wild guesses only here. idk about mint but on kde the button to switch modes is meta+B … if your distro provides the right packages for that functionality out of the box. I’m sure there is a terminal command to check it too.

go with fedora

i feel you’ll be happier with it

What forum software is this? I like the UI

I feel like by “scaling” they mean upgradability. So either vertical (adding more drives, ram, cpu) or horizontal (adding more boxes that loadbalance an increase of multiple parallel tasks/users) hahaha ooops

1. use a modern, popular distro. There are less things broken and you get more support

2. do a fresh install with a fresh user to nor carry over your broken configs and customizations. Do everything from scratch again

3. Tackle the issues one by one and provide detailed steps to reproduce, error messages, logs, screenshots or videos. You can ask right here on lemmy, but you’ll probably get more eyes on it on reddit tbh.

I felt just like you a long time ago when kde introduced wayland at the end of 2016. After a couple of super frustrating months, I made a backup of my /home, migrated my archlinux to btrfs (by doing a fresh install) so I can have snapshots and revert if I mess something.

Had only minor issues since then and most have been fixed some years later. Others I’ve learned how to work around (for example by using gamescope, because I have mixed resolution multi monitor setup and some games think my 2k screen is 4k)

I mean, if you try to “scam” the gov, you can clone some codeberg repo to github, rename it, rewrite history to make the commits look like you did everything and then tell the gov “look at how much work I volunteered”. At least in germany, there are currently not enough public workers so many little things go unchecked.

afaik the Ruhr Universiry of Bochum has an intranet that connects the uni and all the dorms. And they selfhost a couple of services, like email, git and pastebin. You can see a line going to the dorms on the graph.

a git history is easily fabricated. you can freely edit it, remove entries or write into it whatever you want, including impersonating other users and fabricating datetime

I use arch btw. Do you also use arch btw?

It’s really touching that you consider me to be a sysadmin, because I use Linux and know how my fs works. I’m actually kinda proud of myself. My arch install has been working for many years.

you have to use a gbe_fork. Either the one from otavepo, or the one from detanup1.

you can use either gbe_fork or GreenLuma

You have the main page saying ‘at this step, you can do one of two things’. The other page says ‘you must only do one of those things.’

Whats wrong with that? You can do either gbr_fork or GreenLuma, not both at the same time.

Is this your thing? no, just pointing OP to a helpful resource

You are here displaying literacy levels on par with the author of the poorly worded github page in questiom.

I don’t appreciate the personal attack

Hi mr. first world privilege.

I personally know people that have a shitbox pc botched together from a landfill full of westerners trash and internet but can’t afford to pay for games. Their steam account is full of free games. They can replace one shitbox part for another if needed. No fucking loss.

Steam will go after gbr etc. then, not skme random users of it that they already banned according to you.

Linux filesystems exam time:

section A basics

0. what does CoW stand for?

1. evaluate through pros and cons which you personally would pick: Btrfs, ZFS, F2FS, bcachefs, OverlayFS, aufs, Nilfs2, JFFS2, UBIFS

section B btefs

2. what exactly happens when running this command, including how qgroups, compression, and recursion interact?

btrfs balance start -dusage=5 -musage=20 -c zstd \
    --bg /srv/vms && \
btrfs qgroup limit 50G /srv/vms/guests/win10

3. explain the effect of the following command on device allocation, RAID reshaping, and metadsta distribution:

btrfs device add -f /dev/nvme2n1 /home && \
btrfs balance start -mconvert=raid1 -dconvert=raid1 -sconvert=dup /home

4. describe what this snapshotting pipeline does, including send stream structure, parent selection, and how receive-side overwrites are handled:

btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /opt/app /opt/.snaps/auto-$(date +%s) && \
btrfs send -c -p /opt/.snaps/last-full \
    /opt/.snaps/auto-$(date +%s) \
    | ssh backup 'btrfs receive -f /backup/opt/incoming'

5. what actions occur on the filesystem when this defrag call is executed, especially regarding extent sharing and how compression interacts?

btrfs filesystem defrag -r -v -czstd:15 \
    /var/lib/docker/overlay2

6. analyze subvolume management sequence, including how default-subvolume selection influences mount behavior:

btrfs subvolume delete /mnt/root/@old && \
btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt/root/@clean /mnt/root/@ && \
btrfs subvolume set-default 256 /mnt/root

section C zfs
