Use f2fs.

>>109688045
I use it for my SD cards

>>109687821
Distrobox edition? I will not be very friendly and civil if you use docker instead of podman

>>109688244
Use it on your SSD.

i'm getting an old laptop to use linux for the first time ever and i will install arch on it

>>109688950
What laptop is it? If you haven't chosen one already, avoid chromebooks as many of them use eMMC drives.

thinkpad t490s

How can I check a computer's RAM make and model from inside Linux (going into the BIOS not allowed) and without opening the case?

I already tried

sudo dmidecode -t memory

But that's not giving me the info I want (namely, the model number of the specific RAM stick used. It gives me the serial, which is useless for me)

>>109689212
Part Number is also blank?

>>109689299
DDR4 3000
that's just the type and the speed in Mhz

>>109689314
It just says "DDR43000"? Usually the Part Number tells you literally everything about it.

>>109689350
Yea. It just says that

Thanks Lisa Su

Does anyone have any thoughts on running tmux in a headless Linux environment?
Are there better ones?

can I somehow force elogind to create reproducible cgroup names for login session? it seems it assigns c1,c2,c3... to each subsequent login session and it messes up with my rootless podman setups

>>109688983

have you read about libreboot and coreboot i sure havent

>>109691667
never heard of it

>>109690957
You can patch the source code to do whatever you want to, yeah. I have a feeling they're not supposed to be deterministic though. Why does your rootless podman care about elogind?

>>109690883
It's bad, use low_latency_layer instead.

>>109687821
can i go binary only on gentoo?

>>109692536
They make it fairly easy to go majority binary-only on Gentoo these days, yeah. Though some things might still not have binary packages so you'll need to build as normal.
But also then why not just go with Arch instead?

>>109691989
rootless podman depends on systemd to provide it cgroup parent to create new cgroups, when this condition isn't met it tries to start containers in cgroup belonging to PID 1 that just happens to be top level cgroup root, to which I as an unprivileged user have no access.
Solution would be to manually specifying my login session's cgroup, but that's a permanent setting you cannot change later (you can clone containers and change it then but it's yet another inconvenience).
and no, I am not going to treat my containers as cattle where runtime is purely immutable and separated from data plane so I launch containers with start instead of run.

>>109692536
just use arch

How far back would you have to go in terms of hardware if you wanted to build a desktop PC that used exclusively libre software? Going easy-mode and saying that said PC would also be hooked up to ethernet so you don't have to go through any wifi chicanery.

so from last thread, went through some bs but I basically reinstalled Fedora KDE,then it would still got to ios and had to select the boot, then I clicked something and the nvme went LOLLMAO EVEN mode, nd now I was on Bios loop, so back to Live USB, had to create a 1.99gb partition, leaving back the broken installation there, since that would prevent any fresh installation and now it works fine and no problems so far,boots correctly, played palworld a couple of hours, transferred some CD's, didn't knew that Fedora would basically show you every format in different folders and it was just that easy to get my CD's there, only transferred some, watched some animu, I only cant post here because "lol your IP range etc"

and yes SMART status was good, but that tiny section now hold a very broken and angry grub or whatever
