Out Off The Box

Touchscreen works OOTB on my Dell XPS in Ubuntu and Debian.

It’s funny seeing all the kids distro hopping around here. I was like that once, now it’s just debian everywhere. The one and only. Stable for servers, testing on workstations, properly selected hardware couldn’t be simpler.

Back then I really liked NetBSD cause they were the only one who had a native OpenFirmware bootloader, which meant you could boot PPC macs with it without requiring a mac partition to load the extension.

I can’t remember if it was MKLinux or Yellow Dog, either one of these around '97~99. At the time I was also playing with BeOS and NetBSD.

Looks like a theming problem, not a GTK problem

Regardless, even if it’s just for your own one situation, you’ll want to look at ionotify

BeOS and NetBSD was were it was at for sure!!

The differences in memory management and allocation could explain it. Linux is far more aggressive at cache IO I think.

As others have mentioned I’d use a proper tester (aka memtest86+), it will probably take overnight.

Which memtest did you use?

I’ve used Linux as my main and only workstation for over twenty years, and I’ve never had an experience close to what OP describe, so no, I wouldn’t say it’s always been that way.

FWIW Debian isn’t a non profit. Debian is not a legal entity period. It receives funds via the Software in the Public Interests, which also holds the copyrights, but the project itself just is. It’s probably the world largest, longest running, self organized affiliation group.

Also debian testing is a fine rolling release. maybe sometimes a bit slow on security updates, but for a workstation that isn’t exposed to the internet, and using flatpaks for browser it’s mostly a non issue. That can also be mitigated by installing security updates from Sid. And secure-testing release take care of the most critical issues as well. If you avoid the couple’s weeks right before and after the freeze, it’s generally stable enough.

Yes, snap sucks.

You ever run a memtest?

Oh OnePlus allows that? Dude it’d be fucking great is Calyx and/or Graphene could support them they are like half the price of Pixels and their downsides is for the most part shorter update life cycle, which this would fix!

Survivor bias on a microsample. It absolutely does happen. It’s the nature of electronics. Not repairable == shit build quality, disposable garbage.
