Swap, seriously, in this day & age?

Except my server and net book, everything has an SSD. :)

Swap, seriously, in this day & age?

He must be using it for Swap in programs like Photoshop, doubt it is for Windows. :)

I think I will also follow in those footsteps! :D

Not actually for a swap file. I just use it to store temp things that I know I will delete later, or stuff that I haven't organized into my main documents folder yet. :p

Oooof.

No SSDs - yet. (I have one desktop and will be adding a legacy laptop.)

Mom has a desktop and an even older legacy laptop than the one I will be getting - no SSDs in any.

Both desktops are being considered - however, other upgrades have priority.

Hello,

All of my daily-use computers contain an SSD for at least the boot device:

Desktop PC: Corsair F120 120GB SSD + Seagate ST32000641AS 2TB HDD

Laptop (W510): OCZ Vertex 3 240GB SSD + WDC Scorpio Blue 1TB HDD

Subnote (X220): MyDigitalSSD BP3 128GB SSD + Crucial m4 512GB SSD

Netbook (X120e): Corsair F120 120GB SSD

My computer at work (W410s) also contains a 128GB SSD and a WDC Scorpio Black 750GB HDD.

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.

    • Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.
    • And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
