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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • 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, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    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.

    [–] KuroeNekoDemon@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (4 children)

    So 32GB then? I have 16GB of RAM

    [–] voidskull@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

    [–] mvirts@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    But I can pretend I have 128Gb ram πŸ™ƒ

    [–] KuroeNekoDemon@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    You can never have too much RAM

    [–] SeekPie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

    Just download more if needed

    [–] eclipse@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    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

    [–] jbk@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

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

    [–] iopq@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

    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
