So umm... There is a bunny in my house?
And now they're doing something on my Pinephone? 📱 :bunhd:

Hold on, is it... Could it be??

Are they compiling Godot3 export templates for Aarch64 musl Linux devices???
Also is that LXQt desktop themed as WinXP?????

...I, uh, I guess I have to let them cook, right? I gotta see where this is going. :thonking:

Środowiska graficzne Linuxa i ich apetyt na RAM.

Przeprowadziłem krótki test zużycia pamieci RAM wśród kilku popularnych środowisk graficznych. Głównym celem testu było sprawdzenie jak sobie radzą przy małej ilości pamięci RAM, czyli 2GB.
Pod lupę wziąłem środowiska: KDE, Gnome, Mate, Xfce, Lxqt.

Mierzyłem zużycie pamięci w dwóch scenariuszach:
po świeżym starcie/po otwarciu strony w Firefoxie.

Platforma testowa: wirtualka Gnome Boxes na Archu
Parametry wspólne dla każdego systemu: Arch, ustawienia domyślne dla każdego środowiska, 2GB RAMu, 8 rdzeni CPU, 20GB SSD.

Wyniki:
LXQT: 286M / 873M
XFCE: 358M / 871M
MATE: 362M / 904M
GNOME: 665M / 1001M + 148M swap
KDE: 687M / 1011M + 80M swap

Zużycie wahało sie o kilka, kilkanaście mb, screeny starałem się robić przy średnim zużyciu
Zgodnie z przewidywaniami KDE i Gnome są najbardziej "RAMożerne", dodatkowo tylko w tych środowiskach system musiał sięgnąć po swap, więc dodatkowo obniża się wydajność.

I did a few benchmarks to see if the desktop environment you're running on your system has any impact on the actual performance, and resource consumption of your system, and made a little video out of it!

I used Top, Geekbench, Unigine Heaven, and did some battery life testing, all on 42 beta, on the @slimbook Evo 14, here are the results, and the conclusions:

Decided to try writing a Wayland compositor for fun. Took me a few days to get things going to a video-able state.

This is scrollable tiling, heavily inspired by PaperWM (which I'm still using and very much enjoying). You've got an infinite strip of windows that you can scroll through.

It's also got dynamic workspaces which work like in GNOME Shell (the Correct™ way to do workspaces), but all monitors have workspaces.

The repo is https://github.com/YaLTeR/niri if you want to peek at the code

Scrolling some windows and workspaces around in the Wayland compositor in question.

Thanks to Christian Meissl's fix in Smithay, the git version of niri correctly shows nested pop-up menus in lxqt-panel. They also submitted a fix for invalid pop-up spawning to ironbar, which makes it work on Smithay compositors.
