  • He says he has Ubuntu installed and is loving it, and just asking if there’s any other things to round out a tablet experience.

    You: ☝️ “why don’t you completely change the thing that is working for you, and even though you didn’t ask, do what I’m suggesting you do because I like it, and it works for my mommy who just uses the web browser. Also, if anyone disagrees with me for evangelizing and giving unsolicited advice, I’m going to call them a prick and argue with them because I’m just special” ☝️ 😤










  • Affected your user and not the system as a whole, yes.

    If you want to be a hyper technical dick like the other person responded, the old way to refer to the term “userspace” is basically anything that doesn’t affect the kernel, HOWEVER, it is now more commonly used to refer to specific local user settings, yes. The old reference was way before people starting writing things to be hyper-local to individual users, as things are arranged now.


  • It doesn’t have anything to do with the distro. With that many files, you’re torturing the hell out of your disks, and your machine’s memory. Depending on how the code is written, it depends on if this is a filesystem scan of the folders that are then imported to a local db which is looked up to go back and find the found files, or a simple approach which is to just scan the directory every time you go to open something.

    I’d really think about properly organizing your files. If that’s not an option, you can dig into the settings or code and find the hard limits set (probably for a good reason) on the number of files being scanned or imported.
