segmentation fault

Actually when my system does slow down when i multitask too hard, it doesn’t hang (given there is no write IO), and even running a simple application would hang if i have write IO in the background.

I understand if that’s a hard one to solve, I’ve been facing this for months and been trying to research on it and coming up with nothing. Thank you, still.

Small problem with that line of thinking, though it is understandable, multitasking is smooth, unless there is a write IO operation, and the same is true for just running a single tab firefox or LyX (latex editor), so it’s probably not ram usage.

For this reason i disabled anything that might do writes in the background except for timeshift, and i saw massive improvements in responsiveness.

Thanks for your input, still.

I have a suspicion my machine might be waiting when it has write IO operations, because it doesn’t heat up or make any noise, I’ve been looking for a way to make a fake io operation or something like that, to confirm this.

Update: ran e4defrag check, said no defragmentation necessary, all scores were low.

I was told this laptop is about 10 years old, and I’ve got it from someone who is 23 years old, so i don’t doubt what i was told about it.

So it should be very suspicious that it is that slow, and also, i can usually multitask pretty well with it, so it is very surprising that it hangs like that.

I really hope i get help troubleshooting this because i have a feeling it shouldn’t be this bad.

I should probably check defragging options on linux regardless, thank you for the time you took answering this :)

Saved your comment, hopefully won’t take too long before i find time to read that book :)

I really don’t like this “no true scotsman” flavored meme, the profit incentive destroys valuable research by limiting resources to replications of past experiments (as soon as something is profitable, you must not disprove it for a fear of retaliation from companies promoting said something), this is systemic, not an individual level problem, get rid of “bad scientists” and more will be propped up.

I do like the sentiment of the meme though, more more replication is needed.

Would you recommend the book?

for a sec i thought i was in a “data is a warcrime” community

What in the fuck 🤮

To emulate* on my desktop 😌

I’m OOTL, what’s wrong with H&S? (Besides not being European)

Very silly.

i would call being resistant to misinformation, being a force against misinformation, is that enough to warrant calling it a force for truth?

They do it for free, too, what more you can ask for? Well you can unreasonably ask them, these people, humans, fallible biological machines, to “be” correct 100% of the time, even when moderators may not be available, even when people didn’t yet report misinfo, something you’d never ask anyone else to do or be.

Oh wait you did ask that, so I think there’s a very good reason to believe you don’t really care for what you preach.

I don’t want to keep windows because i like it, i need to keep it because I won’t have enough time to migrate all at once, knowing how complicated windows is.

I’m basically going to migrate little by little, as much as i need every session, i also don’t know how to use linux much so i expect to learn with time.

Huh, and i just installed it on my secondary computer (laptop). Maybe i should setup a dual boot on my main one soon and disable network communications in the windows partition, and then migrate ny files slowly until i can confidently get rid of that partition.

Saved for late :^)

Had a linux moment yesterday, piped “clang --help” into grep to find something, it wasn’t there but the piping itself was awesome.

Don’t have anybody else to tell lol

I’m finally back, apparently linux mint comes with ntfs handling out of the box, just opened the file explorer (nemo), and opened a picture successfully.

Only step left is disabling booting through windows.
