To be clear, I don't blame the poster of this comment at all for the content of their post – this is accepted as "common knowledge" by a lot of Linux sysadmins and is probably one of the most likely things that you will hear from one if you ask them to talk about swap. It is unfortunately also, however, a misunderstanding of the purpose and use of swap, especially on modern systems.

As part of the memory management changes expected to be merged for the upcoming Linux 6.11 cycle is allowing more fine-tuned control over the swappiness setting used to determine how aggressively pages are swapped out of physical system memory and into the on-disk swap space.

With the new code from Meta, a swappiness argument is supported for memory.reclaim. This effectively allows more finer-grained control over the swapiness behavior without overriding the global swappiness setting.

A coworker send me this fantastic piece on getting linux to boot off of google drive (and s3). Definitely a fun read!

I was banging my head against my keyboard for an hour thinking that I broke my system until I saw this.

In the Fedora Forum we collect a lot of useful posts, that are not yet Documentation-ready (or not suited for Docs, as they are "too unofficial".

There are constantly new ones added.

OBS can use Pipewire for the mic and desktop sound inputs, but it is not yet packaged on Flathub.

Here is how to add it manually.

Here is the Youtube video on the topic

The people from uBlue messed something up with the signing, so that updates now dont work.

This is fixable though!

I took the broken updates as the push to move from uBlue kinoite-main to the official Fedora image.

My list of layered packages is now really long, but the chain of trust doesn't involve Github anymore (directly), which was a big concern for me.

rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://quay.io/fedora-ostree-desktops/kinoite:latest

This is a quite complex process, and their documentation is incomplete and different 🥳

So here you go!

KVM is used on Android, ChromeOS and Google Cloud, so this makes a lot of sense.
