We just renewed support for our socket based perpetual licences for 3 years. This gives us plenty of time to find an alternative solution.
It’s how long it takes the system to render the next frame. High frame times are no good. Equates to lower average fps, and poor player experience. You also want stable frame times. This equates to smooth gameplay and less “stuttering”. Anything under 20ms is considered good. 10ms and less is great. Anything over 50ms will be perceived by the player in a negative way.

I’m shocked
I highly doubt people are uninstalling their ad blockers. If anything they’ll just disable it on YouTube if it’s that big of an issue to them.
Firefox + uBlock still works for me on desktop. For my SmartTV and my phone I’m using other frontend applications to get around the ads.
Update the OS and all installed applications using a single command.
This.
I just went from Arch to Debian 12 Bookworm. Running the stable branch, but so far most of the packages are rather recent. Kernel is 6.1 instead of 6.4, but I could switch to the Testing or Unstable branch to get the “bleeding edge” packages/kernels if I need to. But honestly so far it’s been a real pleasure to use. Everything is just working and is stable.
The only time I’ve experienced a AAA game not working at launch or shortly after launch is when the developer explicitly goes out of the way to block usage on Linux.
Looking at you Bungie.
I don’t have a Steam Deck, but I just made the transition to fully running Arch on my gaming rig. So far everything just works.
Not saying you have to or anything, and I can understand and respect using something like MX Linux to save time on the customization. Just know that because it’s based on Debian, any core OS updates will be delayed while the MX team rebases them into their fork.
Honest question, but why not just install Debian with the Xfce DE? Why rely on a fork for updates?
From what I can tell both by testing MX Linux and by reading about it, it’s nothing more than Debian with a few pre-installed packages and some customization. All of which could be done on Debian directly without much trouble.
Zabbix stores all it’s data in a PostgreSQL or MySQL database. However… there are 2 ways that Zabbix Agents work. Either in passive mode, or in active mode.
Passive Agent = “poller” process on the Zabbix server sends a request to the agent asking for values for the items it’s monitoring (based on template applied to host). Depending on the number of hosts you’re monitoring and how many poller processes are configured to start with the Zabbix server, you may run into a situation where requests are queued because the poller process is too busy. Increasing the number of poller processes will fix this, but it also adds additional load to your DB as each poller process will connect to your DB to write data, and each poller process will consume a certain amount of memory. Too many and you’ll run out of RAM, or bog down your DB.
Active Agent = “trapper” process on the Zabbix server listens for item values from being sent to it from the agents. Agents will query the Zabbix server to see what templates are applied to it’s host, and will figure out what items it’s supposed to monitor. The agent will actively query the items without the Zabbix server requesting it, and will send the item values to the server as scheduled. This puts a lot less load on the Zabbix server.
Item values are not read from the DB to activate the trigger. When a value is received that matches the trigger’s expression, then the trigger is activated. Live values are used to activate triggers and trigger actions (alerts).
So far the COSMIC DE is looking like it’s going to be a great alternative to Gnome and KDE. I’m liking the modern minimalist look. It’s nice to see some of the quality of life features being built into the DE directly instead of needing to find and maintain plugins or extensions to bring that functionality.
This is also my only gripe with it.
Would be nice to see which post they’re replying to, and a quick way to get to the post.
Also yet another version with the address book not implemented, but I bet the sign in button is still on the client to continue to confuse new users. Almost 2 years that button has been there to do nothing.
That’s for everything listed above. This is measured straight from my UPS which everything is connected to.
