I want my dwm build to automatically float a client when it asks for it? I don't want to manually set it up through putting the class of the client into the config and then set its 'isfloating' equal to 1.

Does it make sense to have large amounts of swap like 50 GB for example?
Wyatt Torres
If you want your computer to hibernate you need physical swap sequel to your current RAM plus 2GB as a general rule. Otherwise if you don't need hibernation you can just set up zram swap and use that instead.
Arch, Gentoo and openSUSE Tumbleweed are the ones that matter.
Isaac Young
I like to keep the stage3 of my Gentoo install as a way to date it. No doubt there is someone here with an install older than mine: stat /stage3-amd64-nomultilib-20191218T214502Z.tar.xz File: /stage3-amd64-nomultilib-20191218T214502Z.tar.xz Size: 203919608 Blocks: 398288 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: 0,28 Inode: 304 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root) Access: 2020-07-18 18:03:19.920275856 +0000 Modify: 2019-12-21 12:55:35.742613591 +0000 Change: 2020-07-18 18:03:19.920275856 +0000 Birth: 2020-07-18 18:03:19.520275856 +0000

Yeah those are the only ones I can think of that I've seen, or derivatives of them. Almost 2 years, nice brah.
Gavin Bennett
Create a hotkey to spawn the client and the quickly make it floating
Ryder Sanchez
>2020-07 are you me i no longer use this install though, i got sick of updating it and switched to debian stable a few months ago
Are there any drivers I should be using for the laptop 5000 series apu graphics? I'm using opensuse and everything seems working out the box so I'm not use if I should even bother
Jose Peterson
AMD and Intel parts pretty much work OOTB a majority of the time. openSUSE has probably already installed the drivers you need.
Austin Robinson
Perfect then I'm good to go Thanks user!
Noah Perez
Maybe do a sudo lspci -v | grep VGA just to check what graphics module is being used.
Logan Mitchell
It seems to be using the correct apu the dgpu is currently inactive
Hudson Perry
>a year, maybe two away from being able to tell people "we don't do drivers here" Boy do I hate nvidia, but legit only time you would need drivers is with nvidia or super snowflake wifi.
Lucas Sanders
It would be nice if work on the new NVIDIA open source kernel modules actually does blossom into an open source NVIDIA driver that doesn't suck ass like nouveau does. Broadcomm can suck a fat shit though.
Jace Baker
Nouveau doesn't suck ass, technically, the problem is that nvidia have encrypted certain functions that manage powerstates. So the Nouveau driver is actually really fucking great, it's open source and therefore faces better form of scrutiny, it's just simply not allowed by Nvidia's hand to be good. With the open source modules in the state they're in I'm more convinced Nvidia is getting eyes on the parts they intend to force into nouveau so they can drop Linux as a proprietary supported platform.
Owen Myers
Is there anything that I can do with a old CPU that still works?
Jeremiah Gonzalez
Will using Gentoo increase my powerbill?
Carson Wood
Probably but by a negligible amount. You're not going to notice it.
Luis Miller
Yes.
James Price
just done installing fedora on my acer helios 300. is there any way to control fan speeds manually? I tried sensors-detect and pwmconfig but it cannot find my fan.
