A lot of people will probably tell you that what you’re asking for is an oxymoron. It’s not, it sounds very cool, it just occupies a point on the spectrum that’s likely to take a lot of work to keep in an arbitrary balance between rock solid and bleeding edge.
Been using it, absolutely cannot recommend.
Seconded, Alacritty has been great to me
Dude I’m not interested in going scorched earth on one of the most useful repositories of practical information and discussion, and I’m disturbed that you’re so zealous to do so.
I have 64GB as future proofing (ITX board, two slots, can’t address any more). Normally I probably use 8 to 10 of those doing things like gaming and hoarding internet tabs like they’re a nonrenewable resource. I actually managed to crash my machine with an out of memory condition compiling something a while back. I don’t remember what and I’m sure it doesn’t count as regular use but I installed ZRAM to prevent it from happening again.
I currently use a combo of btop and radeontop for this. For GPU monitoring I’ve also used nvtop.
But convincing tech companies to make webpages bigger seems difficult.
Do we live in opposite universes or something?
I use btop, iotop, jnettop, and radeontop. I rarely need any individual piece of information any of them but they make for an incredible spread of blinkenlights.
Ah, I think I’ve bumped into that on accident using qtile. It’s been inconsistent and I assumed that had to do with the window type. It might, but I also might be using the wrong key. Thanks.

So what the hell is alt drag?
Thanks for sharing Linuxquestions. I’m new to the ecosystem but my stuff works well for my current needs, so being exposed to people’s problems and the methods for approaching them is a great way to passively expand my knowledge.
No that seems to be entirely about Twitter.
Yeah hi can someone explain the logic involved in advocating for Free Lossless Audio Codec as a method for storing photos?
My vote also goes to qtile. Easily configured and very capable.
I do this. It’s part of a GPU passthrough setup, but in practice there aren’t many applications that require PRIME offload. I don’t use it for web browsers where I watch a lot of videos. I haven’t used VLC in a little bit but I’m pretty sure I don’t use it there either. Games and graphical applications. If I was doing video editing or modeling I would probably want it there too.
It’s a common English idiom, referring to something that is difficult or taxing to accomplish, often without payoff.
I don’t understand why people will bend over backwards to install anything but baseline arch.
I currently have a VFIO setup and it works great. There’s just almost nothing I need it for with how great Proton has become. I have an AMD APU and GPU. My Linux desktop runs on the APU and only offloads to the discrete GPU when invoked with the DRI_PRIME=1 environment variable.
Virt-Manager has the ability to run scripts at certain points in the VM startup and shutdown process. This is what I use to reassign the GPU to the VFIO stub driver so it can be handed to Windows, remove half of my CPU cores from the process scheduler so Windows isn’t suffering constant cache misses, and open looking-glass which uses a shared memory device to render the GPU output in a window on my desktop with minimal latency. Scream starts on login to handle audio, and you’re going to want to use a shared memory device for that because it has latency problems over network.
I’ve been told I have one foot in each bucket labeled “single GPU passthrough” and the other labeled “dual GPU passthrough”. If you’ve only got one you’ll have to exit your X or Wayland session to use the VM because your GPU cannot abide two masters. Nvidia has a functional equivalent to Prime, I think, but I don’t think it just works out of box. I understand Nvidia isn’t happy about their consumer cards being handed to VMs as it’s usually an expensive enterprise trick, so there might be a workaround process there.
The Arch wiki has a great tutorial on GPU passthrough using VFIO and OVMF, that’s probably your best bet on an arch based system like Manjaro.
I haven’t used any of the arch install scripts but they seem to have regular problems. Doing it the usual way is a proper way to roll your own but it doesn’t give you options. You have to know what you want, or you have to know where to find out what exists.
The guided installer is going to be important to a type of person we’re going to see more and more of: power users that know what they want to do, but for whom the Linux ecosystem is a foreign and fractous entity what uses entirely unfamiliar nomenclature.
