Handling non-responsive and frozen applications in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

[-] mvirts@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Imho desktop Linux is usually set up where a single bad app can lock up the whole system. This is not every Linux system, but I run across it more than I would like. I believe part of this is an optimistic approach to memory management which makes the system run better overall most of the time.

Windows seems slow as hell most of the time, but killing a process seems to work reliably (not clicking on the hung app takeover UI, using task kill or task manager)

I don't understand these memes about killing processes in Linux vs Windows.

My solution is to run everything through msys2 😅

Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability Affecting X.Org Server For 18 Years in c/linux@lemmy.world

Lol not even reading it because I've always assumed that if there's an RCE on desktop it will inevitably lead to full system compromise.

😅

It's trust all the way down.

Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Lol still trying to decide if the linuxsucks community is entirely genuine.

What the heck is this trash shipping with firefox? about:compat (lemmy.world)

submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by mvirts@lemmy.world to c/linux@lemmy.ml

Visit about:compat in your firefox. I find it insane that these exist.

Edit: I've learned that this is part of the webcompat system addon developed by Mozilla and other contributors. I see why this is beneficial default behavior, since FF has no chance of getting enough market share to matter more if things are broken.

However, this behavior is too intrusive for my taste. For example this injection: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/8a4afb4d34f8/browser/extensions/webcompat/injections/js/bug1472075-bankofamerica.com-ua-change.js is basically just to silence annoying user reports.

Also, Every site FF pretends to be a different UA on is artificially reducing FF market share data.

Help w/ crash (lemmy.world)

Any advice on where to go from here? This console was running dmesg -w to try and catch an intermittent crash... And this is what I got. I am using an el cheapo USB wifi adapter that I'm suspicious of.

Everything was working fine until I rebuilt nixos with Nvidia support... Now my old generations of the OS are crashing after a few minutes (display on, no response to input, keyboard lights don't respond, SysRq doesn't work)
