I’m not into this topic, but i do want to share a talk by Joe Armstrong (creator of erlang).

The whole chanel is full of stuff like this.
It is impossible to “cancel” noise in a room, because physics. Maybe you could cancel out some waves in some parts of a room, but you would probably intruduce your own waves in other parts of the room.
My advice: get some foam/stone wool, plants, a couch, put a blanket on the wall and or ceeling. Absorb the waves. Active noise cancelation only really works in earphones.
Dota (1, in warcraft 3) would have a hitch every once in a while, and i’d die if it was in a fight. Cause was swap writing to disk, that you can’t turn off in winxp. I was already looking at linux, so i said f it. Bdw warcraft 3 runs well on linux if you add -opengl.
Current has mesa 23.1.3 and kernel 6.1.
Been a while since i built a kernel. Way i did it was (as root):
- download from kernel.org into /usr/src/ (
wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v6.x/linux-6.4.3.tar.xz
for example) cd /usr/src/
andtar xvf the-downloaded-tarball
rm linux
- it’s a link to kernel source, so that programs can compile against the kernel (rarely necessary)ln -s linux-downloaded-one linux
- makes new link to downloaded kernelcp linux-installed-kernel/.config linux/
- copy the old config to the newcd linux
thenmake oldconfig
- a lot of questions about all the new options, that should include the new arc drivers if they are not included into old onesmake menuconfig
ormake nconfig
- are TUI-s to configure the kernel. nconfig has a search (F8)make bzImage modules
- to compile the kernel and modules (basically shared libs)make modules_install
- copies modules to /lib/modules/version (important as most drivers are modules)cp arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage /boot/vmlinuz-version
- copy the kernel core to /boot- edit
/etc/lilo.conf
- if you use grub then idk - go to bottom, copy the whole block including
image = ...
, keep the original to have a bootable kernel - change
/boot/vmlinuz
to whatever i called mine - run lilo
- reboot
- reorder lilo boot order if i forgot to before, and lilo then reboot again to confirm
Not the official slackware way, but… actually slack is the slackware way. Have borked my system plenty of times and had to dig up the install cd/usb to fix it.
There is documentation on slackbook http://www.slackbook.org/html/system-configuration-kernel.html but it’s a bit outdated. You can always ask questions on the official forum https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/
For all other questions see this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qt9MP70ODNw
On slackware-current. Latest kde, mesa, fairly new lts kernel. All vanilla software (with security patches). Xfce, and more. No official gnome. Everything works, simple system. No official package dependency resolution, install a lot of packages recommended (they in groups). Good for me.
Edit: oh, and very stable
