Share your desktop, what does it look like?

Non genuine but supposedly perfect copies on this UK website.

It would be great, the second one is cool, if you can also share the picture, thank you a lot

And the file -> download

Sadly the wrong colour. Mine are white.

swarfendor437 · March 24, 2025, 9:46pm

Loving the Retrowave colour scheme.

Is this of interest?

swarfendor437 · March 24, 2025, 11:37pm

It would be but milady doesn't want me wasting money.

Thank you a lot

Do you use a swap partition ? I read it’s needed if you use hibernate which i never do. I have a notebook with 8GB of ram, a notebook with 32gb of ram and a notebook with 64gb of ram. With 2 notebooks i did not install swap and they perform perfectly fine. My main notebook i still have to install endeavour on it but i am thinking to not use swap either (64gb ram). The 8gb model only ran out of ram once because i tested something to compile a app from source to see what it does. But other then that it never goes up above 2.5gb.

I only game and surf the net so a swap partition is useless for me.

I am using a desktop with HDD, no SSD, 16 Gb RAM.

anon96359095 · March 25, 2025, 12:15pm

And swap enabled ?

swarfendor437 · March 25, 2025, 3:40pm

Yes it is.

Well, that might explain why I have trouble waking from sleep on Linux. (I've talked about this previously on the forum) Since I have 32GB of RAM, I don't enable SWAP.

PS: I have used up most of the drive since this screenshot was taken.

I like storage, so I don't enable SWAP lol.

anon96359095 · March 25, 2025, 5:28pm

Swap is only used for hibernate, not sleep.

You can check if it is enabled

swapon --show

or

free -h

Nourpon · March 25, 2025, 5:42pm

I have 2GB swap file (and not partition) with 16GB RAM and it's OK
tof@zorin-tof:~$ swapon --show
NAME TYPE SIZE USED PRIO
/swapfile file 2G 611,3M -2

anon96359095 · March 25, 2025, 5:44pm

2GB swap and it used 611,3mb ... after a reboot it will be to zero again. This is what i mean, if you use swap it writes/deletes data which will impact on your ssd lifespan. All that written data gets deleted. I do understand systems with low memory needs a swap partition. But users with 32GB and up i really don't understand.

swarfendor437 · March 25, 2025, 5:51pm

I don't have SSD and have a desktop. I don't use hibernate I just switch it off when I'm done.

StarTreker · March 25, 2025, 6:12pm

Thats another good point too, all my drives are NVME, don't need to destroy my drives with SWAP early. I remember my old computers that ran on HDD's and were slow, I heard my HDD getting hit hard on the SWAP to compensate for lack of RAM. (Back in the 1GB or less RAM days)
