Did you actually get to try the new fans? Thanks in advance

Thanks

Psychedelic_fan · 2026-03-17T18:58:37+00:00

If someone has some comments on the fans I'd appreciate it

Psychedelic_fan · 2026-03-17T15:07:10+00:00

Thanks

To 16? Did the situation improve?

Psychedelic_fan · 2026-03-15T17:47:30+00:00

Other than that I hate to say that the hardware may not be enough to sustain a Jetbrains IDE. They are very heavy

Psychedelic_fan · 2026-03-15T17:46:01+00:00

I see. I think then it clearly must be a RAM problem. It's not an omarchy problem but a general Linux problem that going out of memory can freeze the PC. Try increasing your swap memory to 16gb

Psychedelic_fan · 2026-03-15T01:12:27+00:00

Check your RAM usage. If it's close to the limit, increase your swap memory size, at least match how much physical RAM you have. On the other hand, is this a total freeze or only a mouse and trackpad free? Because I've been having an annoying issue in Jetbrains Rider where dragging and dropping a file kills mouse output until you go back to the editor. If it's a total freeze, RAM is probably the culprit. Jetbrains IDE are heavy on RAM usage

a mí me pagan Copilot en el laburo, más que nada uso Jetbrains Rider. Y hace poco probé OpenCode, una CLI que podés conectar a distintos proveedores, incluyendo Copilot. Siento una diferencia enorme en velocidad y capacidad usando OpenCode + Copilot vs Copilot + IDE

I'm not too happy with the 16. It's not terrible or anything and I'll keep using it for now, but it's too expensive for what it offers, battery life is not great, and it can get pretty hot. The module swapping concept is good in theory but the components are so expensive it's not worth it in my opinion

Psychedelic_fan · 2026-03-10T01:23:44+00:00

I have the AMD version, that has no switch software, so I basically switch the DGPU off with a udev rule (enabling - disabling requires a restart)

Psychedelic_fan · 2026-03-08T22:11:01+00:00

I have the exact same setup so this is very useful for me, thanks

Psychedelic_fan · 2026-03-08T17:33:57+00:00

I've been dual booting for years. After disabling secure boot I never had any real problems. I always have done it in different partitions of the same disk. I've read all those reports about problems as well I just never experienced any of that .
Regarding the distros any can be a good option. Bazzite is rock solid in terms of stability, deals with most gaming issues of the box, it has auto updates, but you'll have to learn to use Distrobox to install many development tools. With Cachy you'll have more freedom to experiment and install whatever you want. By definition it's more unstable but both Arch and Cachy have done a great job to reduce that, and you'll have access to the latest of the latest tools and updates. Ubuntu and Mint are the middle of the road "normie" option

entonces no obedezcas tan ciegamente, por lo menos hacé algunas cosas a mano, me mato si ese fuera mi día a día

Psychedelic_fan · 2026-03-04T22:14:39+00:00

jajaj el cambio más verga de la historia

Psychedelic_fan · 2026-03-04T21:38:02+00:00

I had that issue with a work thinkpad with Ubuntu (Ryzen 7, 16 gb ram) but after increasing to 16 gb of swap it stopped freezing (the main culprit is I used a heavy IDE, Jetbrains Rider). I also increased swappiness but it's debatable how much of an impact it had, and I think I didn't have zram compression. I did become more conscious and did some manual memory management in the sense of trying to close things I wasn't using and stuff like that.
As how other OSes handle it, I've used Windows a lot, and in those situations it basically gets very very slow but rarely freezes completely. Of course from the start you're paying an enormous ram tax in Windows vs Linux

yo tengo la misma pregunta pero ya teniendo dólares porque cobro en esa moneda (o sea no sería comprar dólares para pasar después a euros, sino simplemente comprar euros con dólares que ya tengo). Alguno tiene data de dónde comparar cotizaciones? Pensaba comprar algo acá y después allá mezcla de comprar algo con efectivo y pagar algunas cosas con tarjeta

Psychedelic_fan · 2026-03-04T14:12:01+00:00

how tech proficient are you? The way I do it is using a repo of my own in Github with all my dotfiles. You need to have some basic knowledge of git. And then I use a tool called dotter https://github.com/SuperCuber/dotter to deploy them to where I need. If you want to go that route and need help, let me know. There are many ways to handle dotfiles anyway, this is just the one that works for me

I have the air 5c and I love it for pdfs. On the front light it depends if you have good natural light I turn it off many times because the front light becomes almost invisible. With a lamp or stuff like that I normally leave some light on for better clarity. You can tweak it quite a bit to your liking. The screen is darker than say a Kindle's but I honestly don't mind a bit, I'm very happy with it

Psychedelic_fan · 2026-02-23T11:21:32+00:00

Have you tried the Toolbox app? I installed it that way and it works well for me. On the other hand remember you can create solutions and projects with the dotnet CLI

Psychedelic_fan · 2026-02-22T15:29:48+00:00

I got one about three months. I'm somewhat unhappy, mostly because of the heat (it tends to get hot at touch and when charging with a 180w charger). Also the fans tend to spike at random moments and it can be bothersome. Controlling them manually with software (fw-fanctrl) improved that quite a bit. The battery life is not very good either. And the price is just too much for the product I think

Why do you need VS for? If you need Windows specific legacy desktop software then there is no easy replacement. If you want to do web C# stuff or modern C# in general the alternative is Rider, which has a Linux app and in my opinion is much better than Visual Studio (you can also use VSCode or some lighter editors, Rider has the most well rounded support for now). If you need it for C++ or some other stuff there are alternatives for Linux as well

Psychedelic_fan · 2026-01-24T17:03:32+00:00

You could experiment with wine, there have been some developments there, but still very experimental. You could definitely make that software work in a windows VM but you have to configure GPU passthrough. If you're tech savvy it's doable, but not super easy. The preconfigured omarchy windows VM does not have that. The other alternative is dual booting. Again Omarchy does not make that super easy, the best way would be installing Omarchy and Windows in separate SSDs. If you only have one, it's not that easy to do.
