Arch Linux Steam - Freeze Computer on Game Install
I suffer from this issue across different linux distros and found that it is indeed a btrfs related issue. Have a read here and tinker around the suggested sysctl values https://github.com/pop-os/default-settings/issues/111
- Is this 15 year old bug ever going to be fixed?
- Can you set up ZRAM alongside a normal swap partition to use as a fallback?
-
IncreaseVmMaxMapCount
This has already been done https://github.com/pop-os/default-settings/pull/172
- Getting issue with apt

How would you recommend I partition up my SSD for installing? (Dual booting)
Pop uses zram by default now, so unless you're planning to set up hibernation you don't need a separate swap partition.

Help test a ZRAM optimization for Pop!_OS
The default swappiness in Pop has been 10 since 2019

Found a solution to the constant freezing
/u/jadero I've been experimenting with a zram optimization for Pop lately. I suspect that a great deal of remaining issues could be caused by memory pressure behaviors. https://github.com/pop-os/default-settings/pull/163 There's some tweaks in here that seem to be yielding great results from the few people that have tested it so far.

What's going on with the 5.18.10 kernel updates?
Personally, I follow the pop-os/repo-release repository so that I get notices of what is being updated and when and I can gauge what looks OK or not. I've caught a few things that looked wrong before and I have been able to provide feedback and sometimes fixes (eg. https://github.com/pop-os/default-settings/pull/145).

Getting error message when updating from 21.10 to 22.04. Please help!
Which I think should be similar to yours, and I ended up solving this following the git issues here https://github.com/pop-os/upgrade/issues/301
-
How do I do an OEM installation in 22.04?
There is not a GUI way to set this up (found an open issue on it though so maybe Way to set up OEM mode in GUI #202), but after a normal install you can edit a few files to have the same effect. Including enabling encryption if the new user wants!
-
Pop!_OS 20.04 user here, if the recovery partition is the same as the ISO, does that mean I can dd the ISO on the partition?
Good question! You might ask in chat.pop-os.org. All I can say is that this appears to be the backend for that button: https://github.com/pop-os/upgrade.
- It kills me to say this as a pop_os fan…
-
PopOS 22.04 LTS comes in 3 days.
It's listed in their changelog on Github https://github.com/pop-os/upgrade/blob/master/changelogs/22.04
- Changelog for 21.10
-
when will popOS 21.10 be released ???
Keep a watch on this pull request: https://github.com/pop-os/upgrade/pull/223. When it’s merged into the master branch, the release is imminent.
- Trying to test pre-release 21.10 but forced pop-upgrade fails
- Will pop!_os not upgrade if you've added third party repositories and/or modified the fstab?

To Answer The Question: Should I upgrade to 21.04?
From the release changelogs we can see a lot of activity around COSMIC and Pop-Shell, but probably more importantly was improvement to the Pop Recovery tool to work better with Pop-Upgrade. This system-saving marvel is getting better all the time! As mentioned above, system-level updates and stability improvements are included.
