Ive got a stack of them right next to me. I work on them regularly. I know older versions of macOS are lean but Tahoe and Seqouia are noticeably heavier. Its not a problem because the devices running them have 16gb+ of ram. But I’m worried 8gb will impose contains on usage. I know it’ll do basic stuff like run a browser but i think people are overestimating how capable this device will be.
What version or macOS?
No I keep seeing this “caches a lot” thing keeps getting repeated. Memory break downs already accounts for that. They shows the different break downs of ram usage. In use vs cached.
This is 6gb of inuse memory while the laptop is chilling. Cached memory is typically like 80% of whatever the ram is on your device. If you hit that 8gb your app is getting killed before the kernel kills a system process.
I like power shell so much more than bash. Yes yes power shell can be used on linux I know.
I’m the opposite. Its weird to me for someone to add an AI as a co author. Submit it as normal.
Which distro are you using? Did this happen after an update? What audio output device are you using and how is it connected? Run pactl info to see if you’re using pulseaudio or pipewire. If you’re using pipewire you should see this line Server Name: PulseAudio (on PipeWire 1.4.10)
When is this issue happening? Sometimes audio crackles when the cpu us under heavy load
Its a bad time at the moment. The world is experiencing significant turmoil and you’re seeing that reflected in people’s responses. People on Lemmy are generally pretty politically aware so they are feeling the despair more than average. In more peaceful times the community was very happy and friendly and I believe it will return to that once things chill.
Its also hard to write thoughtout responses to something everyone agrees with so there only really seems to be a discussion to be had if there is also a disagreement to be had.
MacOS is like 6 gb of ram doing nothing
I know how he could of fixed things thats not the point. The point is these are linux issues that I dont fault a new user for running into.
He didnt need to do more research the video shows 3 different approaches, searching/ai, searching reddit, having basic experience from immersion.
If he had gone and picked something no user would ever pick maybe I’d have an issue but popOS is still commonly picked and recommended and its fine for him to bring to attention how shit it is for new users.
Overall I think the video was linux positive and I’m expecting the whole series to show linux favourably. I’m hoping the community reaction to ep1 doesnt change that. Theyve been insufferable.
Someone made a webserver in portal. It could be possible to run AP in portal.
They’ve always been a waste of time IMO. The only time I’d do them was when i owned very few games and had to squeeze every drop of value out of each one.
There are some cool ones like factorios finish the game in under 8 hours but most are slop. I think theres still a place on steam for them. I can go on peoples profile and see the ones they’ve chosen to display and how rare they are.
If you use mods you can usually get a mod to reenable them if you care about it.
I agree and wouldnt recommended it either but ultimately the devs shouldn’t be putting cosmic up just yet especially in the LTS. People will always recommend the most random shit when it comes to distros combine that with those dogshit listsites and AI new users should be encouraged to try multiple just to not have them getting stuck on one thinking its representative.
Yeah I was pretty shocked they were shipping it LTS with no warning or disclaimer
Gaming distros are great. They come with preconfigured drivers, controller setups, emulators, gamescope. Kernel patches, latest git for new game compatibility.

There are a lot of tweaks that even experienced users wouldnt think to make and it all adds up to the experience of plugging stuff in and playing games be seemless.
Actually people have been asking them to do more linux content and to try out linux. Especially in the last 6 months with windows having controversy after controversy. You probably didnt watch but it was a positive video about linux and none of the issues were his fault or outside what I’d expect a new user to run into.
Youre right. Its actually a good chance for the linux community to clean up long standing bugs and work out a better way to combat the misinfo new users face when onboarding. I hangout in a few noobie linux spaces and the suggestions they find are insane sometimes. Its common to see people suggest someone buy an entirely new GPU to fix an issue thats unrelated. Or switch distro to fix a minor issue. These make linux look so bad because no one should have to switch GPU to not have their screen flicker or have to switch distro to have Bluetooth work.
The l4d2 bug would happen on every linux distro when someone tries to run as native.
This video might shine some light on these issues and get valve to remove the native linux version of l4d2 since its completely broken.
Wait til next episode there is bazzite issues coming.
Did you watch the video? Every complaint you made was answered
I just saw pop recommended on this community. Its still got a ton of people who’ve had good experiences recommending it. But they might not know it now defaults to cosmic.
That is pretty surprising to me. I noticed a significant bump in resource requirements for Sequoia and again for Tahoe. I’ve got a stack of macs next to me I’ll see if I can find one still running sequoia and reassess my opinion.
