A rock fact

I test using VMs with resolutions of 1024x768 and never have this issue. I am on gnome

Some Linux distros have

Show kernel threads, it’s a setting in the htop config menu that is off by default.

It seems they are prepping to do something about the sea of unmaintained packages

Ubuntu still ships desktop icons on gnome, ding is a pretty good extension for it

Also vote bash, but I don’t love it…more of a tolerate.

Debian (and Ubuntu) has the package “fake-hwclock”. I’m sure other distros do too.

Periodically saves the time info to disk and resets the clock with it on boot.

Tbh I’ve always wanted to do this

while I still use ohmyzsh, a lot of it’s opponents make it’s slowness one of its complaints. You don’t need ohmyzsh to have fancy things, it’s just makes setting it all up a little easier.

Since version 4.0 the version numbers have nothing to do with changes and are strictly time based. Linux 5.0 happened after Linux 4.20 because Linus “ran out of hands and toes to count on”, same thing with 6.0 after 5.19

They probably won’t replace it past warranty but it’s always worth a shot

Ubuntu themselves package ROS, it’s a little out of date from the latest (1.16 vs 1.18) https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/ros-desktop

Try apt update && apt install ros-desktop

And aptitude tests themselves are flawed and usually only measure certain quantities or qualities of intelligence, and are not really a great marker for general intelligence (this is including IQ tests which have a very racist origin and history)

Ooms are much less necessary with MGLRU if they keep to a new kernel

Never too old

And also really not that bad for what it is. I quite enjoyed my time with it actually. It’s most egregious crimes are that Google makes it and privacy issues.

Looks nice, what’s the advantage over something like rofi?

It’s not just startup time, it’s startup time with heavy background I/O
