At least 300 times to RAM and maybe once to disks is better than 300 times to disks and maybe once @ RAM. Especially if "disk" is SSD.
Doesn't Wayland have a double buffer problem where you can't disable v-sync so if games have their own v-sync you get double v-sync running?
It's really going to depend on what you are using. Unlike xorg, Wayland isn't just the wayland server, and then something managing windows, and then another thing managing compositing.
Bruh it's literally called the Furry Phone, what are you expecting?
You mean like Apt's autoremove? Then yes, but it's a less convenient type.
sudo zypper remove --clean-deps [package name]
or
sudo zypper rm --clean-deps [package name]
Oof, I don't even know, my connection is kinda slow anyway.
Nix is very powerful under the right circumstances but is not a typical desktop OS. Its benefits really shine in development environments, and circumstances where you need heavy reproducability, such as cloud deployments. If you ever use a tool like Terraform, its basically taking those concepts and applying them to desktop configuration. Think of how popular docker became, and then realize that Nix solves alot of the same properties with far less overhead.
Or start being normal and use mc to manage your files on the daily if you insist on using the terminal for that. Norton Commander was made in 1986 and Midnight Commander cloned it in 1994 for a reason. Even back in the "glory days" people were fed up typing out file management commands by hand, and continuing to do so over 4 decades later doesn't make you special. Well, it does, but in a different kind of way.
This is why you're having problems. Literally nobody is recommending Ubuntu. Almost everyone agrees that Linux Mint is the best set it and forget it distro, but if you're missing that niggers of wisdom then you're probably missing key lessons you need to maintain Arch.
Systemd tendrils have consistently embraced and extended functionality that had been better handled by NM (or wicd, or shell scripts) for decades over the past few years. Probably some new shit has been added to break standard NM configurations.
Perhaps I wasn't clear, I just learned to accept/adapt to whatever are the defaults in the OS/software I am using. I won't put up with bullshit, but I don't do much customization beyond a few essential comfort features. Using Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Arch/Void/etc. it makes no difference to me. I will accept it and use it. Ubuntu is the easiest one. Snaps? I don't have a horse in that race or any battle to win, so I don't care. I understand why some people would find a problem with that, I would be considered an enabler of some shit practices but that is how I choose to live my life.
Unfortunate
NetworkManager was one of the few things made by Red Hat that has always just worked and been better then 100% of the alternatives, why fuck with it as its essentially a Linux standard?
