Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    My computer literally killed itself when I tried to run a Wine app and a Steam game at the same time (sh.itjust.works)

    I'd have a swap file that is 2x your memory.

    So 32GB then? I have 16GB of RAM

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    If it is more than 4GB, have swap equal to the size of ram

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    But I can pretend I have 128Gb ram 🙃

    You can never have too much RAM

    Just download more if needed

    If you have plenty of storage I would do it. Some wine applications love to stall my system and a large swap helps a bunch.

    Or if you read another one of my comments I found out that this was isolated to SMT 3 Nocturne Remaster on Steam. For some reason if I try to boot that with VSeeFace my PC crashes but not with the original version or other games. It's an Atlus being Atlus problem

    Maybe use swap on zram instead, like it is ootb on fedora

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

    Correct

    I have no swap file and everything works fine until I run out of RAM. You will know when that happens because it's in the error logs
