Leap 16 on the Lenovo and Mint on the Acer are well behaved so far. 
EndeavourOS on the Lenovo was a crap shoot.

Yeah, that's always been a bit of a weird one. In my experience it's
pretty stable once configured, but depending on the machine actually
getting it set up can take some experimentation.

Why would I, when it takes about ten seconds to boot?

Cleans out the kruft :-)

I use it for a couple hours, then go to my main machine (an
always-on mini PC) to continue.

Indeed.

Otoh, the always-on mini PC would use up all the RAM and the
swap and then go nuts trying to clean it up.

Finally traced it to picom (compositor). It's got major memory
leaks. Restarting it would clean out gigabtyes worth.

I got tired of doing it manually (or forgetting to do it), so made
a cron job that runs at 2 AM.

Why do I put up with picom? I find it helpful in my workflow.

Oddly enough, this desktop does NOT.

Mind you this summer the power company has been rebooting my machines 
every other day.

I use Brave and very seldom bring up FF. With 16 tabs, T-Bird, Pan, Code, 
and Calibre open 8705672 is used with 6542296 available. The only one I 
have to watch is the netbook but it only has 4 GB.

   IF you can afford it, pick a time of day and
   just use crontab to reboot the unit maybe once
   a week. That'll clean out the crud.

The funny thing is that this desktop does not have memory leaks but runs 
the same firefox as the laptop, which does...

I cycle through the mini, a couple of laptops, and a tower. I might 
shutdown one of the laptops if I'm taking it on a field trip. The LUG 
suspended meeting for the summer so that hasn't happened recently. 

I tend to have different projects on the different machines. Most involve 
a MCU plugged into a USB port so it's easier to sort out. I assume 
plugging in another would come up on /dev/ttyACM1 rather than ACM0 but I 
never tried.

Fair enough, I s'pose. Cruft isn't so much of an issue on *nix, though
(NT leaks memory like a sieve, and always has;) usually killing and
relaunching the web browsers every month or two is enough to let it
clear its head.

I wonder how that works; does anybody come round to your house and
tell you not to install XLibre? Do cryptic messages pop up on your TV
or radio every time you think about installing XLibre? Do you find
your downloads of XLibre mysteriously dropping out? Do you find,
instead of an XLibre package on your machine, just a text file saying
“don’t try this again -- or else”?

I think you're confusing manipulation by corporate interests with
dystopian science fiction.

You may have had a point there, but it seems to me you completely ruined
any chance of a serious argument with these exaggerated examples?

I assume you mean “suppression of Xlibre by huge corporate interests” is
is exaggerated, since Lawrence’s response is so obviously sarcastic.

It seems to me that the reality is that it’s largely ignored. Partly
that’s due to of adoption of Wayland, perhaps, but it’s also
substantially because if you do need X11, Xorg remains readily
available.

  $ cat /etc/debian_version
  13.6
  $ dpkg -l xorg|tail -1
  ii  xorg           1:7.7+24+deb13u1 amd64        X.Org X Window System

Here is yet another lackey who fails to understand the software
that he uses.

Only comparatively few programs use X11 directly (my fave text
editor, cooledit, is an example.)  Most programs employ graphical
toolkits like GTK+ or Qt which then in turn will invoke X11.

Well, guess what.  IBM/RedHat controls the development of GTK+
and they will most like pull the plug on X11 compatibility in
the future.  Only Wayland (surprise, surprise) will be supported.

Well, so what?  All GTK+ software will still function as usual.
Yes, but that only applies to application software.  Other software,
such as the long legacy of X11 window managers, will all be broken.

Do you desire to use one of the excellent and still maintained
X11 window managers?  Tough luck, bozo.  You won't be able to do so.
Why not?  Because IBM/RedHat has said so.  That's why not.  There
is no other reason.

Who controls Qt?  I never liked Gtk but I've been playing with it lately. 
I still don't like it. Ridiculously long function names that all start 
with gtk_ are a pain in the ass.

It's ironic Gtk was developed because Qt wasn't 'free'. Be careful of what 
you wish for.

Used to be Nokia; these days it's apparently some manner of alliance
between a publically-traded company and an open-source governing body,
both specifically dedicated to it. The company is Finnish; I dunno
about the org. Qt definitely seems less prone to infestation with Design
Divas than the competition, in my observation.

It started out as Trolltech. The trolls were great coders but their 
licensing was arcane. It was free for personal or open source use, but 
there was a license for commercial use. Unfortunately the commercial terms 
were so murky that it discouraged use. Like everything else it's been 
through changes of ownership. It was the commercial part that spurred the 
development of Gtk and GNOME. 

That seems to follow Qt. PyQt is developed by Riverbank Computing and has 
both GPL and commercial licensing. Nokia wanted to release it as LGPL but 
Riverbank refused so Nokia, and later the Qt Company developed their own 
Python bindings and released it as PySide under LGPL. 'Side' is supposedly 
Finnish for 'binding' but I think it really means 'Screw you, Riverbank!'

The two are very close but the official Python version is PySide6.
