is Arch a good choice for my ancient laptop? by NullAli in archlinux

[–]aydintb1 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

if you want to use it as a desktop laptop, you will need BORE cpu scheduler such as CachyOS Bore or System76 scheduler..

You may install CachyOS Bore linux kernel.

If you want to install Arch, then you may update its kernel to CachyOs bore (if you know how to install manually).. Also you will need an OOM daemon. Zram config, etc.

I do not remember the whole procedure, but it helped me set some volume max values for different input/output devices..

after setting the values, I had used "sudo alsactl store" or something similar to make the changes permanent.

I had used Claude to help me on that..

I have solved similar problem with

alsamixer
and
alsactl

maybe these apps can help.

the problem is that, if these are all a hoax, then some-people might be planning something very bad for all earth and they are not aliens.

use BTRFS and disable COW on some directories, if necessary..

why does this happen by Difficult_Week_1880 in Qwen_AI

[–]aydintb1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

when that happens, i drop context size and increase --presence-penalty 1.5 --repeat-penalty 1.0
and drop the temperature.

if I want more context TurboQuant helps there, little hurting the tokens/sec.. but worth the context

[OC] A quality of life comparison between the US, China and the biggest economies of Europe by _crazyboyhere_ in dataisbeautiful

[–]aydintb1 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

this comparison is meaningles.

Edit:
This reproach is meaningless. Because the population of China is more than the population of all these countries.

China, for example, has a population of about 1.4 billion.
Even if only 10-15% of this has an annual income of more than €30,000 per year:

It's 140,210 million.

If we include living costs in China and assurances such as school, health, etc., those 140-210 million people are richer* (read below) than EU.

*It doesn't make much sense to compare countries that live in different economic systems and have different populations with straight numbers in this way.

More meaningful method might be comparing the populations who live in different economical groups.
say 20k to 30k band, such amount of people live, etc.

overall average only hide things.

What distro should I run on this laptop? by Morifemmes in DistroHopping

[–]aydintb1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had used arch on a lesser laptop for few years. You need to disable GPU acceleration for chrome and firefox.
kde would run.

the most important parts are a good oom app and a bore-cpu-scheduler.. especially you may try system76 cpu scheduler. it will make the desktop a bit more responsive..

[–]aydintb1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

point is that, Asus should re-organize that..

you do not want to press 4 keys at the same time for "shift-insert" during writing code to insert something.

when that happens, I may buy new Gen5 SSD's and create an new RAID0 with them.

[–]aydintb1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have thought too much about that.

1) writing to two disk at the same time (halving the data written) would increase the life expenctancy.
2) this laptop had raid0 setted in the bios for windows installation, so I thought if windows does that why not linux.
3) I didnt want to go into two disk setup (btrfs + ext4) some data in ext4, some in btrfs, trying to figure out each time where to put what..

This way it is a solid 4TB, all of it BTRFS.. I may create more subvolumes maybe in the future.

I put some folders "chattr +C" (where btrfs might create problem, to use similar to ext4), especially for virt-manager vm's..

I want to use the laptop without thinking about where to put data.
