Reinstall the os and forgot to install zram and I paid for it
Edit: No swop?
Swap is overrated (/s)
Some people think that. I tried it to see what would happen, I have enough that I never threatened to hit the ceiling during normal use so it was uneventful. I turned swap back on and forgot about it for a couple weeks, when I checked about 12GB of swap was in use. So even if you have plenty of ram don’t discount swap, it’s still going to help.
Like with a slowly rolling unbraked car: Don’t take photos if you can prevent the crash
What is zram?
Swap but better it behave mostly like actual ram and fast too, not as fast as actual ram but still way faster than swap I can open 5 browser tabs one of them playing a video while compiling a software I don’t feel my system slow down at all
I always confuse ZRAM and ZSwap. From my understanding ZRAM is the better one and Zswap is kinda outmoded.
It turns into a rabbit hole every time I gotta reference it! Lol
From my understanding, it’s the opposite. Zswap is the better one since it has a ZRAM-like compressed section of RAM and disk-backed swap. That’s definitely an oversimplification though.
I agree it’s confusing. I always look it up during setup so I know which one to use.
It’s a Linux feature to compress some of your memory and then store it in a RAM disk. For systems with limited memory, it makes it go further.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zram
zram, formerly called compcache, is a Linux kernel module for creating a compressed block device in RAM, i.e. a RAM disk with on-the-fly disk compression. The block device created with zram can then be used for swap or as a general-purpose RAM disk. The two most common uses for zram are for the storage of temporary files (/tmp) and as a swap device.
I have a mini PC that has been barreling through NVMe disks but Alpine Linux’ “usb” install mode just wasn’t great either. So I use a “sys” (traditional install) on an NVMe disk but have directories like
/var/log,/tmp, etc. on Zstandard compressed zram disks. It’s been pretty fantastic honestly.
sneers in 48GB
I upgraded to 64GB RAM a year or so ago which I didn’t really need, but it was cheap so why not.
How things have changed.
Did the same, even if it’s “just” DDR4 i still feel like RAM nobility nowadays.
It didn’t suck enough already buying PC parts in Australia?
Now it’s starting to look like upgrades are just a thing of the past and this is going to be my forever machine.
I hope you’re wrong.
I hope I am too, but I just looked at what a CPU, motherboard and RAM upgrade would cost and it looks like this system will be old enough to start high school by the time I replace it.
And the system after that? If I buy new in 2030, when will the one after that be? 2045?
Look at Mr. Fancy pants over here with 11 cores.
I’m just jealous
12, because they’re zero-indexed.
Probably six cores with hypethreading or the AMD equivalent.
AMD’s version is called Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT). But just about everyone, even most motherboard firmware that I have seen, calls it hyperthreading still.
Which is sad. SMT is the tech, HT is the marketing from intel.
I wish, it’s a Ryzen 9 5900hx with only 8cores what you seeing is threads which I have 16 of them
- It starts with 0.
…… I don’t get it.
I’m guessing memory almost full and no swap space
Is it just me or building with
cmake --build --parallelCrashes with out of memory every time? Maybe it depends on the project but idk
