The child already looks tired of the bullshit that happens with Linux. A few days ago I discovered that I had either a 6 or 8 gigabyte swap file. I have 20 gigs of ram already, and was running out of a 32 GB SD card…

you’re using an SD card as swap space? not sure how to interpret this

I’m using an SD card as a temporary main storage. I could technically put in an ssd, but I lost/broke the part where a screw would go to hold it in place (it’s a strange laptop…), so the only option I would have is to tape it, and I don’t feel comfortable letting it potentially flop around in there… As for what a swap file is (that’s the name I found for it), it is virtual memory. It was reserving that space to use as RAM if need be, when I already have 2/3rds as much ram as storage.

You don’t have to make a swap partition while partitioning your disk 💀

  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of “peasantry” to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
