@osprey Drop caches is something I can do, but it just clears some type of cache, so not even all cache, and I want to completely disable caching rather than clearing it every time. Just for experimental purposes of course. @CaffeineAddict Right now, I am referring to the cache numbers...

Just for experimental purposes, I want to try completely disabling any memory caching that goes on at runtime. Only memory that is really needed should be allocated. Is something like this possible?

@Freepoorman That is so AI generated :rolleyes:. Well what you recommended might be useful, IObit uninstaller can track what programs right where and uninstall it itself rather than using the crappy uninstaller the program comes with. This in GNU/Linux would be hard though as package...

@Freepoorman @Condobloke I will definitely try those programs, but I wanted to know, that if there is a program which can track what programs write where. Like on Windows, there is IObit uninstaller.

One of my main reasons to switch to GNU/Linux is the lack of bloat. But I was a little wrong. On Ubuntu right now. The system can generate quite a bit of bloat. And I have a tendency to mess around in the deep to remove bloat, and I end up breaking the system, as I have done now. I am really...

Of course I did the reasearch. All of the mentioned are not gaming oriented. Playing games in them is pretty much not possible.

Tried Waydroid. It isn't gaming oriented and I think is not even much emulation. Took a look into other options, but all of them are not gaming oriented, just running some apps. Is there any hope?

On earphones, there is loud audio crackling sometimes when audio is played. The results I have found show to change the sampling rate in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf. I don't have a daemon.conf. Only a client.conf, which does not have the setting written in it. Do I still write the setting in that, or...

I am not choosing 23.10 because of preferences. I am genuinely confused. So if support for 23.10 ends, I have to switch to the LTS line-up? So there won't be another normal release following 23.10 for me to upgrade to? Well ya if you see that 23.10 released in October and has a life span of 9...

I like to be on the newer side and don't mind updating like every 9 months or whatever that time period is, so I should be looking at the normal release, right? When I go to download Ubuntu, they mainly show and recommend be to download the latest 24.04 LTS version. The latest non LTS version...

Using -Sw only downloads them but doesn't install them. And I cannot install normally because of the package conflicts.

I am not actually planning to install all of them. I probably don't even have that much storage. I just want to try to install them for fun. How can I get past the conflict problems?

Just a fun experiment in which I want to download and install all the packages available in the repo on Arch Linux. I did pacman -S $(pacman -Slq), but that creates unresolvable conflict problems.

I am trying to use PixieCore on Arch to setup a network boot on my first computer (server) and boot it through PXE (client) on my second computer. But even after some troubleshooting, I get this error - [DHCP] Offering to boot c4:65:16:8d:31:78[DHCP] Want to boot c4:65:16:8d:31:78 on eno1, but...

Oh yes my mistake, I meant XBOOTLDR.

I think XBOOTDIR can fix it?

Nah, you don't get what I mean. First of all, we don't talk about GRUB, I am talking about systemd-boot. The systemd boot loader itself HAS to reside on the EFI partition, but I am talking about the Kernel. I am not able to make systemd point to my /boot/ directory where my Kernel resides. It...

Yes the bootloader should on the ESP, but I am talking about the kernel. If my kernel only resides in /boot/, then systemd-boot does not recognize my Linux install. I am fine keeping the bootloader on the EFI partition, in fact I probably have to keep it there, but I don't want my kernel to...

I am on Arch and configuring systemd-boot although I do have GRUB installed. My kernel is located in /boot but whenever I do "bootctl list", it shows that it really wants to look under /boot/efi which is mounted as the EFI partition. Can I not change it to look under /boot only? How is it even...

Wait no it's higher but why does it matter?
