Inexplicable lag when opening media folders, Windows reloads every file individually
Trying to research this a little more, I came across a post that certainly seems to mimic the issue.

Control Center on macOS is always re-rendering its SwiftUI causing 1% CPU load
> compressed memory
doesn't solve much and it's been available in all other OS for a long time.
many reported that compressed memory can negatively impact performances in certain scenarios
For example

I condensed down 30 million JPGs to 2.6TB and it takes me 6 days to move them
You can see pretty easily if you ever try to delete a node_modules folder on Windows: https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-Dev-Performance/issues/17 There's some anectdotal evidence in there that FS performance is better in Linux even when Linux is emulated in WSL2 instead of native Windows.

This delay happens when I open any folder with videos in it. Is it normal behavior or should I change any settings? (Using Windows 11 22h2 latest official build).

- Switching back to Windows showed me why Linux is more viable than ever
- Alternatives to CCleaner?

“The entire 11 MB ZIP file was being read from disk a single byte at a time”
A bug has been filed about this on the WinDev repo, might help resolve it faster if it gets some upvotes: https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-Dev-Performance/issues/...

There are performance issues with POSIX-first software on Windows. There is an open issue for the Windows team about it on Github. You can read more about it here. That's why WSL is needed.

"We understand" ;)
This is partially why i use tools like i3 (/ sway). i like the tool; it works extremely well for me; the design has stayed the same for 20 years; there's no profit motive to come along and fuck everything up. it just works. it is boring in the best way possible.

Firefox on the Brink?
I also have crashes on sway, but there’s a rough workaround now which prevents the issue totally.
I believe there’s a design issue with Firefox and GTK handling input events; some Wayland compositors have workarounds but others do not.

Firefox is my preferred browser and I hope we can keep its engine alive in this era of Chrome dominance.

Sourcing dot profile on sway starutp
I'm seeing this: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Setting-Environmental-Variables but I haven't figured out how to make GDM do it, and I was wondering if there was a super simple "HEY SWAY READ MY .PROFILE" thing I could do.

Option to not scale xwindow clients still out of the question?
So I searched around and found the following bug report where this problem and a possible solution was borough up: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/issues/2966 , which was then immediately closed again.

What Desktop Environment or Window Manager do you use on your Arch Linux System and why?
I've been using Sway since late 2019. I like the workflow of a WM. I honestly find it hard to go back to a DE, I like having a minimalistic desktop.

On Desktop GUI Minimalism
Sway is fast, minimal, and flexible. Their recommended tools/addons are worth a look: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/wiki/Useful-add-ons-for-sway
From that list I use greetd + tuigreet as my login manager, sway-launcher-desktop for FZF-powered app launching, and wob for lightweight brightness and volume display (send '50' to the wob socket and it'll show 50%; it doesn't get simpler).
