partitions are used for organizing, the downside is that more partitions make each one smaller

I end up running 1 btrfs partition sagred between all my installed Linux distros on one system

lvm is also awesome for resizing and moving partitions

my desktop right now has nvme0n1p1 as my efi partition and p2 as a lvm pv

inside that lvm I put everything else as it’s very easy to resize and move them (I also have p2 encrypted with luks2)

my phone does single tap to toggle and tap on the down arrow or longpress for settings page

/run contains all sorts of virtual stuff, it doesn’t persist over a reboot,

I would advise against deleting anything in it as those files are used by programs running as whether user has the ID of 1000 (most likely you)

it contains things such as sockets and lock files so that programs can interact with each other

ah I misunderstood, thought you talking about underload, not idle power use

all the laptops I’ve ever had have been able to reliability pull the full power (like within 30 watts) of their power adapter rating so that’s a good estimate

you can use a % in the search bar to search your currently open tabs

do you have DNS over https turned on in Firefox? iirc nordvpn blocks it to prevent DNS leaks

so it would be like you say I want Firefox to go thru the tunnel, you would want the DNS requests made from it to go thru as well, in this case they weren’t tunneled and were just going to the normal dns server

not sure your exact case, but I would highly recommend using pipewire, Bluetooth audio devices were nothing but pain for me with pulse audio and they just worked on pipewire

I’ve used Sony xm4s

man it crazy I switched to Wayland on my laptop and docking to 3 monitors just worked on Wayland and it would remember all my monitors settings

I hand like 2 or 3 scripts setup to try and manage that on x11

virt-manager can also connect to remote hosts over ssh

I think you can already do this in one shortcuts, not sure of any standalone program that does, if definably accidentally bond like Ctrl+d, Ctrl+s to screenshot before

babyrage

systemd is an init system that is super popular because it is so not shit and does what people want, and has adjacent projects that interface with it nicely

some people want more variety but put their effort in an unproductive direction

I think at one point I had like 2.5 tb of stuff stored on my 2 tb drive in my laptop, deduplication and btrfs compression is fun

you absolutely need a pillow that fits your sleeping style

on my laptop I have tpm to decrypt my drive and I’ve also enabled secure boot and set a bios password, so if someone steals my laptop it’s basically bricked,

secure boots there to prevent any potential tampering if someone were to take the drive out then put it back in

I feel this setup is secure enough for me, if you’ve got some nation state after you, or some guy with a wrench theres probably nothing you can do

arch is super stable ( for the most part ) at with the arch install script it’s easier than ever to install, endeavouros is a gui installer but leaves you with basically an arch system

ive been running arch on my desktop and laptop for years and the only issue I had was that fucked up grub change that somehow got thru

I think people misspeak, windows puts the windows bootloader first after some updates

safari, all the others are the same
