Are there any #linux#cron experts that could offer some points as to how to troubleshoot a cron job not even running? I know I have my crontab successfully setup and that cron is at least trying to call the script but the script never runs.
Why is it that on #Linux OSes, even #Fedora with its early OOM and no swap file / no swap partition (because I have 24 GB of RAM, yo), a runaway memory leak will trash the hard drive with IO for 30 minutes before finally doing what the OOM killer was supposed to do (or until the user power cycles the computer in exasperation)?
Why the heck does this touch storage drives, when there is no swap file/partition?
Just discovered #AnAnimeGameLauncher, for installing and running #GenshinImpact on the #SteamDeck. I know that you can install Genshin on the Steam Deck using the official launcher/installer manually, but when I'm able to get myself a much larger SD card, I'm curious to test this thing out to see if it's any better/easier. On #SteamOS (#Linux), you can install #AAGL as a #Flatpak though you'd need to add their own Flatpak repo first as they're not available on #Flathub.
If you are running big applications on top of PostgreSQL or having a lot of queries your performance might be impacted. By default the default PostgreSQL configuration is to say the least, less than ideal. Same is true for MariaDB but that is out of scope now....

In a nutshell, you should try out the Plasma 6 Alpha out using one of these distros (or by building it yourself using kdesrc-build) if you’re an adventurous person who has a...
OpenTTD is one of my favorite Linux Mint applications. Not only is it absolutely free to play but it’s pretty straightforward to get into. Let’s take a look together if you haven’t checked it out before!
I'd really like the perspective from someone who is new to using Linux. What kind of "how too" videos would really help you out in a pinch? Don't worry if it's mundane, I'm open to any suggestions.
I’m not quite where my footing is as far as my content is concerned but I’m passionate about Linux. This gives me an excuse to showcase some of my favorite software.
@mausmalone My kids grew up with Linux -- they struggled to learn Windows and MacOS later on when they had to use them for school or work.
None of the 3 major desktop OS's is inherently more difficult than the others; it's just a matter of which you become familiar with first (though I find Linux a little easier to set up than Windows or MacOS because I don't have to search all over the web for peripheral drivers).
GIMP 3.0 finally has a release schedule (librearts.org)
