She sounds like the purrfect copilot! Was out in the black for a bit myself scanning various lifeforms, but the bubble called, so I might try out some colonization after a bit of a break. Fly safe!

Try installing and using gamemode (if you haven’t already).

Bob says, “Your lack of slack is disturbing.”

I’ve had a similar problem across various distros and several years: everything is fine for a while, then suddenly several games have audio crackling issues. I can usually (but not always) solve this with a PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 %command% in the launch options; sometimes a different number, such as 20 or 30, works better.

I’ll add another recommendation for Posteo. Been using it for a few years now. It’s cheap to start with, and the extra features don’t cost much extra. Through them I’ve discovered that I like having a bunch of aliases that all point to the same inbox.

I’ve been learning Japanese for a few years now. I’ve found that over time I’m able to recognize some characters I’ve become very familiar with even if they’re too small to make out the fine details, or if I get too brief of a glimpse of them to do so, maybe due to a combination of context and unconcious pattern/shape recognition.

Yep, this is how I do it on my NAS, which is some RockPro64 board attached to WD Red spin drives. I have music, movies, game saves, documents, pics, etc. that equal around 1.5TB and I don’t seem to get excess scanning when “watch files” is turned on.

I will second Bazzite, with the additional note that I’ve needed to use Feral Gamemode to get rid of microstuttering and other minor performance issues. But, that’s not really different from any other distro I’ve tried gaming on (Void, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Funtoo).

Hmm, Punk Crocs…

まったく…

The album Fisherman’s Woman by Emiliana Torrini.

If you’re willing to forgo the GUI installer requirement, take a look at Void Linux. Pretty slim base installation, very stable and conservative package updates for a rolling release. Excelllent package manager. Downside might be smaller package selection than Debian or Arch.

Thanks, good bot!

Yep, been using it as my daily driver for a few years now, aside from trying out OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for a few months. I’ve settled on running it with sway as my wm for the time being. I’ve generally been pretty happy with it. I like the package manager and the relative simplicity of the system, which requires a bit more work to set up but seems easier to understand/fix when something goes wrong (usually user error in my experience, lol.) The developers also proved that they could learn from their mistakes with a minimum of drama after the whole kerfluffle with the original creator. Most packages that I need that aren’t in the repo can be had with flatpak. Overall, a relatively pleasant Linux distro experience.

Edit: Forgot to mention, in my experience an actually stable AND rolling release distribution!

Btw, here is a small void linux community for lemmy. It doesn’t appear to be very active, but hopefully that will change with time.
