72h to install WSL

Memes that don't depict Linux should be banned IMO

[-] const_void@lemmy.ml 42 points 1 year ago

Most of the RAM is being used by the "News & Weather" app and other bloatware.

[-] Hovenko@iusearchlinux.fyi 11 points 1 year ago

You can call it Windows at this point

[-] N0N0@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago

That swapping will soon kill the SSD.

[-] zaph@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

I know this is a meme community but could you elaborate? Is swap bad for ssd's?

[-] Judicus@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Writing to SSDs wear them out. Most (good) SSDs publish a TBW value on the packaging which is intended to provide guidance on when to replace the drive to avoid data loss (e.g. a 1TB may have a TBW of 600, so you should replace it after about 600TB of data have been written to the disk).

The constant writing shown in the screenshot must be swap since the available memory is too small for Windows. Swapped data can't be used directly, so for Windows to make use of it it'll need to write something else to swap before reading the data it currently needs back from swap, do something with it, then write it to the swap file again before repeating with something else. That churn will happen very quickly on modern systems and drives.

If you have a swap file on an SSD it isn't the end of the world. You just need to monitor the disk activity. If it stays high you may not get the longevity out of the drive you'd planned on. In all cases, however, finding a backup solution/system that works for you so that if the disk does die prematurely you don't lose what's important is always a good idea.

Lmao, I've had literally 40-70GB of highly active application swap on an SSD for the last couple months now because I opened stuff and then didn't close it.

That said, I chose and installed that drive years ago specifically for this use case (though originally for less intensive/more reasonable cases), and I'm aware of the stupidity of letting it be used like this now.

This answer covers it all.

I'm glad the pc doesn't waste the RAM unlike linux /s

Bit crunchy, innit

Wow. I remember this page from back in the day. I searched exactly that ("Linux ate my ram"), and it taught me quite a bit. I forgot about it and am glad to see it still exists.

That discord icon in the desktop... Can it actually run?

[-] derpo@lemmy.world 47 points 1 year ago

For its life, maybe

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Not with CPU usage like that at idle.

@endermanch proved windows 11 will boot with just 216 (3^6 ) MB RAM

[-] Standenboy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Surprised it even managed to boot

[-] Outsider9042@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Unused resources are wasted resources, right?

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Unused memory is wasted memory.

[-] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Thats why I open enough Firefox tabs to use 5 gbs
