Quoting: LoudTechieClearly unfinished and unprofessional
Explained: rm -rf / really?
It's  for driveLetter in {1}[abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEVGHIJPLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ]; do dd if=/sd$driveLetter of=/dev/null bs=1M status=progress; done

Got your dd parameters backwards 😁

if = input file
of = output file

So, your command reads the drives and does nothing with it.

I won't post a corrected line just to avoid someone copy&paste'ing it by mistake 😝

I upgraded my gaming mini PC last night (Fedora KDE), my work laptop (also Fedora KDE) will have to wait till the weekend.

I've been upgrading since Fedora 38 on my laptop and 41 on my mini PC and it always been trouble free, but this one must be the smoothest upgrade I had: no issues whatsoever, no waiting for rpmfusion to catch up, all great!

Quoting: scaineWayland remembering where windows are positioned is the last feature missing from X, for me. It really annoys me that all windows open in the centre of the screen.

Agreed!
But funilly enough, I actually set them on purpose to open centered in the screen, as having windows open in seemingly random places was quite annouing to me 😄

Quoting: scaineExcept Steam. It doesn't care about desktop managers or theming or whatnot. Does what it likes. 😅

Also agreed 😁

Quoting: pbAll I can see is they announced a bunch of YouTube logos. 😝

Happy to know it's not just me :)

As an extra privacy step, we don't auto-show youtube videos.

And that's great if you ask me.

I second that!

This is the only website that I know of that does this and I'm very grateful to Liam.

Quoting: MayeulCBesides a swap partition, you may consider swapping to compressed ram (zram).

Hi there!

You should not be using zram anymore, zswap is recommended:

For most users, like me, zram is just a failsafe not a graceful way to setup a swap in RAM. In most modern systems, you shouldn't need a swap space at all BUT, in those edge cases you still need it, zram gets on the rescue. Yes, eventually zram would just OOM but, at that point, things have already gone bad anyway.

It's not that simple, and obviously depends on the use case, but swap is not just "extra RAM" and swap in zram can be worse than no swap, as explained in the article I posted.

And some swap can also be beneficial, again, Chris Down (who's a kernel developer working on this precise area) has a longer and much better explanation than anything I could say:

Anyway, we're going off-topic now so I'll shut up 😊
