Just for experimental purposes, I want to try completely disabling any memory caching that goes on at runtime. Only memory that is really needed should be allocated. Is something like this possible?

One of my main reasons to switch to GNU/Linux is the lack of bloat. But I was a little wrong. On Ubuntu right now. The system can generate quite a bit of bloat. And I have a tendency to mess around in the deep to remove bloat, and I end up breaking the system, as I have done now. I am really...

Tried Waydroid. It isn't gaming oriented and I think is not even much emulation. Took a look into other options, but all of them are not gaming oriented, just running some apps. Is there any hope?

On earphones, there is loud audio crackling sometimes when audio is played. The results I have found show to change the sampling rate in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf. I don't have a daemon.conf. Only a client.conf, which does not have the setting written in it. Do I still write the setting in that, or...

I like to be on the newer side and don't mind updating like every 9 months or whatever that time period is, so I should be looking at the normal release, right? When I go to download Ubuntu, they mainly show and recommend be to download the latest 24.04 LTS version. The latest non LTS version...

Just a fun experiment in which I want to download and install all the packages available in the repo on Arch Linux. I did pacman -S $(pacman -Slq), but that creates unresolvable conflict problems.

I am trying to use PixieCore on Arch to setup a network boot on my first computer (server) and boot it through PXE (client) on my second computer. But even after some troubleshooting, I get this error - [DHCP] Offering to boot c4:65:16:8d:31:78[DHCP] Want to boot c4:65:16:8d:31:78 on eno1, but...

I am on Arch and configuring systemd-boot although I do have GRUB installed. My kernel is located in /boot but whenever I do "bootctl list", it shows that it really wants to look under /boot/efi which is mounted as the EFI partition. Can I not change it to look under /boot only? How is it even...

I have a problem on my machine and I believe the problem lies in the Kernel itself rather than any distro. Where can I report or maybe a little personally contact anyone who works or maintains on the actual Linux Kernel?

I've been having this annoying problem that on my i5 10210U, which has a PL1 of 15 watts and PL2 of 31 watts, in any Linux distro it would not go over 15 watts. I've tried Debian and Arch and both have the same problem. I have tried a LOT of troubleshooting tools but they didn't work. On another...

I have an i5 10210U, whos PL1 is 15 watts and PL2 is 30 watts. Whenever I put any load, the max it will go is 15 watts and not more than that. I changed the CPU governor thing from power saver to performance but that only changes the max idle clock speed and not the turbo power. I am on Debian...
