  • What's causing this?

    Jump

  • Nothing ever pulls off from an outer perimeter, it’s only inner perimeters of empty loops or holes.

    Isn't that obvious?

    Try making a circle of a certain size on a flat, empty table, by dragging a string. The circle will become smaller, than the target size because of the part that is already laid down will be dragged inwards.

    Now drag the string around a gluestick, it can't be smaller than the gluestick's circle because the gluestick is in the way.

  • One distro for the next five years?

    Jump

  • manjaro is no good. It breaks more often than arch and then you still need the whole arch knowledge to fix it.

    EndevourOS or CachyOS are somewhat better options.

  • Will I survive the Linux CLI if I only switch because I'm a student and Arch distro speed?

    Jump

  • Any linux distro is significantly more lightweight than windows. But I'd say that there is not much difference between arch and for example the most bloated distro: ubuntu.

    If you are a coder, the CLI will be easy. Most of the time the use of CLI is comparable to a single line in your code where you call a function with some parameters.

    But arch is difficult for a beginner. (I wrote some more about my experience with it here: https://lemy.lol/post/61578059/24360161 )

    If you have time, interest and discipline to read the documentation and learn a lot, then arch is great.

    If you just want to use a Linux OS, install Mint and just use it. It's no big deal, just a normal OS. It's very intuitive, low friction and no microslop bloat.

  • For those that don't know what any of that means (like me 5 minutes ago):

    Arbitration is an alternative to going to court. Instead of suing each other in front of a judge, both parties agree to have a neutral third party (an arbitrator) settle disputes privately. It's usually faster and cheaper than traditional litigation.

    The class action waiver means you give up the right to join with other users in a class action lawsuit against Zed. So if many users had the same grievance, they couldn't band together, each person would have to resolve their dispute individually.

    Why tf are they afraid of being sued or class actioned against?

    I haven't really used zed much and I'll delete my account and uninstall, just to show them that this sucks.

    but I do love their e-ink notepad and SBCs and pinetime etc. basically everything, just not the phone.

  • What is the proper way, if there is one, to remove files and applications added to ram with preload?

    Jump

  • This doesn't really prove it.

    Running ths game multiple times will do the same, because the pages will stay cached. Operating systems are smart with RAM. Things that were recently used stay in RAM, even though the OS reports it being "free". Read this for some more info: https://www.linuxatemyram.com/

    And preload might swallow the filepath arg without doing anything with it.

    Instead you could share the output of

     
        
preload --help
preload --version
sudo preload --verbose
# followed by running a game

    What you describe can actually be done with another tool https://hoytech.com/vmtouch but not with preload.

    Jump

  • Are we talking about this preload?

    https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/man8/preload.8.html

    Cause if so, it doesn't actually let you manually add specific files to RAM. It's an adaptive daemon that automatically learns which files your applications use frequently over time and prefetches them. So when you launch it and then play games, it's observing patterns and making predictions.

    This also explains why there's no "remove files" command. The files preload loads into RAM aren't locked there; they're in the page cache, which the kernel manages freely. If something else needs that memory, the kernel will evict those cached files automatically. Killing preload via htop should not really do anything, except it not doing it's thing anymore.

  • There is also nanoKVM which is open source and quite a bit cheaper.
