Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • 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.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    Meanwhile the electron app you're trying to run

    The other day my laptop was sluggish as hell, checked top and turns out Discord and Orca Slicer were maxing out my cores

    What's the benefit of running Discord's app instead of just using it as a PWA? A PWA would reuse your existing browser and its session.

    Global keyboard shortcuts are pretty nice. E.g. muting yourself without alt tabbing to your browser.

    Oh that's a good point. I totally forgot that Discord has voice features. don't use Discord often, and when I do, it's just for text chat. Unfortunately some open source apps I use use Discord for communicating with the developers.

    Is Orca that resource intensive? I'm running it in a container with KasmVNC and have never really checked out the resource usage. Admittedly it's on one of my local servers in another room. I guess it's how large your projects are too.

    Edit: maybe it's just my small projects

    Well, when I leave it open for a while it tends to have issues

    And your browser with 300 open tabs doesn't even fit into the room

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (3 children)

    Firefox unloads old tabs when restarting the browser, so most of those are more like temporary bookmarks.

    Don't think I've ever seen someone open 300 tabs in one session or on Chromium...

    Consider also getting Simple Tab Groups. You can basically instantly send a bunch of tabs to a "group", which is like bookmarks except they can also be opened/closed all at once in a new window. Very handy, you can open 50 tabs researching something, close them all, then instantly reopen them when coming back to the research.

    i think i have over 200 tabs open in Zen (firefox fork)

    Firefox is my tab-hoarding enabler 😍
