I have no experience for this matter, nor a lot of Linux either, but there seem to be some interesting choices here (there isn't best and worst, it's just a list, and the most adapted to what you need).

Obviously the minimum system requirements should not be your max amount of ram. You need to account for apps or tools you'll run.

Unreal engine is pretty bad for open maps. It generates a lot of cpu usage when changing zones. And heavy textures and other heavy elements don't enhance the experience.

The vram, I'm not sure what your questions is about.

The vram is special ram (much higher bandwidth, but slightly higher latency than cpu ram, also supports special extra things) included on the board of the graphics card.

It is necessary because it stores textures and others game elements the graphics card needs to operate the game (shadow info,...). The elements are loaded into vram, from the very slow (in comparison) drive (even nvme 5.0 ssds are extra slow compared to vram or ram) to allow the gpu to process whatever it has to do. Background tasks, windows, the desktop... Also use vram to be able to have the app windows and desktop displayed, so the total available for the game can vary.

If there isn't enough vram, there can be multiple things happening (I'm talking about textures but vram includes others things too) :

  • Resizable bar ( or SAM on amd) is not enabled : the gpu will not be able to load all the textures, so it would either have missing textures, or lag a lot due to texture swapping. The textures can also take a lot of time to load instead of completely missing depending on the game optimisation, due to swapping with previous textures. The game can even crash.

  • Resizable bar is enabled : it is possible with this pci-e configuration for the gpu to access system memory. So in some cases, textures may spill into system memory (cpu ram), which isn't great either, because system memory has a way higher latency to the gpu (it has to go through the cpu, pci-e slot...), and way lower bandwidth. And so generates lots of lag.

If a game is well optimized, the lower the settings are the lower vram usage there is. Some games however did not have such great optimisation. Vram usage mostly depends on the texture quality and resolution. (increasing the texture quality will use a very few/negligible amount of extra gpu power, but increase the vram usage).

There is also a baseline the devs may put for optimisation. The less vram there is, the less the textures can have data available to use. So the more compromises have to be done, with less and less quality. So fixing a baseline quality depending on the current most used vram capacity is not that bad. Tho it does have issues for people having less available.

Looks like an automatic commit/merge.

That is an European proposition, and not French at all. France can stand for or against that.

There is a way to create a Google account with an external email address. If you don't have anything tied to your Google original account, it could be a way to access Google tools.

Sry did it. The apps I use seem to be smart enough to stop at html.

It may depends on your rom/os brand. On my device (oxygen os 13.x), I can restrict access somewhere deep into mobile network settings (the translation may not be good as I have it in French) :

Settings > mobile network > data consumption > network access.

And here I see all apps. I can restrict mobile network, WiFi or both.

Before cache? I hope it caches things...

I disabled their notifications for recommended, and activity in posts I participated to. No need to get spam from there. And as I only post very little now (mostly answered my question myself...), I don't get much of anything as notifications.

Tho I don't uninstall the app as it still has some uses, tho I could use the Web version. But its not fast.

What is college? Is it employed for middle school or high school? If so then no.

And if someone who didn't get such eduction thinks they have the tool to distinguish between false and true, they are delusional. The more verified knowledge someone has, the more that person develops their ability to manage information and find if it's bad or good. Tho that doesn't mean that everyone has equal training or capacity in doing so.

If college is employed as a synonym of university, then kinda yes? Tho for myself I wasn't really trained into getting the right sources. However the knowledge gained from the years of eduction allowed me to somehow manage a bit the informations.

However, I don't think I would have been able to really avoid bad information without getting the university training, where I also learned sources and reputable sources.

Even now it can be sometimes hard to get a good source to check. And often for random info I'll forget on the Web I don't even bother.

Last time I used adguard, they seemed to want to get money from user donations. By having more users, more users would donate, and there would be a point where there would be enough.

Tho I'm not sure if they have reached such point or if they would reach it in the future.

Scratching maybe, not sure.

But I saw an issue that the darker ones reacted in a more visible way with skin oil. And the phone was loosing color around the buttons or where people grip it.

The solution from apple is buy the new case to protect it, or wipe it frequently.

The new woven case is trash and gets nasty very fast.
