Didn’t look at the article but ya if you want to leverage SEDs then LUKS is the way to go.

JXL is based.

When installing an encrypted Arch system, I couldn’t figure out how to change the keymap in GRUB stage 1, which asks for the passphrase and then decrypts /boot. I just entered my passphrase with the default en-us keymap without really knowing what characters it outputs.

Is your system then actually low on memory then? This doesn’t seem to work for me, but then again even javascript sites aren’t going to eat 32gigs just like that.

One theory that I tested, was that whether it was a scheduled BTRFS scrub in the background (basically reading all the data and checking for errors), but it doesn’t seem to have an effect when manually started.

Another observation now that it’s running fine: At the time my fans never revved up to speed like they do now. Just stayed mostly silent. It really felt like it was accidentally using an integrated GPU, which I don’t have…

Stupid as it sounds, this seems to be the case. It works great now (+ extra smooth because of all the settings lowering :D ). I even rebooted yesterday to no avail. Today I haven’t done anything special with the machine.

How often has this happened to you?

Ohh yeah I have a mouse like that. The reason being just that I don’t want to deal with mouse control software ^^

I’ll try to fiddle around a bit.

Mildly interesting observation: Having the game open in the background made browser scrolling very sluggish.

The only use case for Appimages
If users want to carry applications around on a thumbdrive, or run on a fully immutable system like TAILS, Appimages may be needed. But this is the only target, and it is not a standard use case.

I guess I agree. This is precisely the case where I have ever used them. Namely to have a portable executable of my password manager on a stick together with a backup of the password database.

I had no idea they were being used elsewhere.

Think of it as a Linux vs. Window$ election

Would you mind elaborating? Honestly interested

Robot vacuums. Some of them you can root and install the opensource Valetudo.
