potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto Technology@lemmy.world•WhatsApp to get channel subscriptions, promoted channels, and ads in StatusEnglish2·19 days agoI tried before, but I made my life hell on earth. I only have whatsapp now because its mandatory. Since 2022, I only have lemmy, mastodon and unfortunately whatsapp as social media.

I see that a monopolizing software is bad, but it just helps make a working computer work well.
potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto Linux@lemmy.world•GNOME's Busy Week With Disabling X11 Session By Default, Greater systemd DependenceEnglish111·21 days agoMost healthy phoronix discussion in the comments, systemd, x11 and rust too.
In my opinion systemd helps a lot, dns becomes a lot easier (like managing dns-over-tls), managing services becomes fine (even managing zram on distros without the zram configuration package), etc, so I see why they would want to change some internal stuff to use systemd, less chores on the devs.
potatoguy@potato-guy.spaceto Linux@lemmy.ml•Wasted weekends trying to make touchscreen work5·27 days agoWhat is the cpu? If something, zswap (250mb) with lz4 and zram (2gb on disk) with lz4 too, on a lightweight distro on btrfs with lzo compression might make it usable. Disk compression might make it usable on the disk side and memory compression might make it run at least not extremely bad on the cpu side. Maybe cachyos with gnome (i know, but it is the only DE with good touchscreen) can be at least usable.
If more things, I can try to help. I have a linux tablet.
Edit: Maybe more space (external sd card with btrfs and lzo) could be used as /home too, but only with more information given, what is the setup?
Edit: My config that I made it work and run decently:

And ultimately there are a lot of YouTube channels promoting it and it kind of turned into a cool distro to use. This might explain the phenomenon.
