The video remains severely choppy and CPU load max-locked until SVP is toggled off *and* back on (seeking around a little helps too).

This is annoying but not a *huge* issue; SVP has an easy toggle key (I use `Shift+F11`), so toggling it off before you drag a video across to another monitor and then back on works. If you trigger the choppiness, again, just toggle it and seek around.

The biggest problem is when you have 4K videos that exceed your monitor bounds; opening them normally causes the mpv window to bleed over onto other monitors. To prevent this, I added the `autofit-larger=100%x100%` line to `mpv.conf` above.

🔴 4K video at 144 Hz seems to be too much for my system (which *is* pretty powerful) or the programs to handle, with framerates choppy and CPU maxed out.

4K at 60 Hz seems fine though. Both seem slightly smoother and CPU load seems lower with hardware decoding enabled, however, which is why I left the `hwdec` lines enabled.

🔷 EASY FIX FOR BOTH ABOVE PROBLEMS:

Take SVP off of automatic and lock it to a fixed and manageable framerate, like 60 Hz.

In the SVP Control Panel, create a new profile. This makes the target framerate buttons appear below the `Do frame rate conversion` button. Select the `?` button at the right and a fixed framerate like `Fixed 60.0 fps`.

Not only does this seem not to overwhelm my system by trying 144 Hz 4K but it also precludes the "adaptive refresh" that fails across monitors! I also find 60 is enough as I normally watch videos on my 60 Hz side monitors anyway.

I hoped this helps anyone!

Any input for Ubuntu and other distros and AMD welcomed!

We’ve just hit 400,000 subscribers!

GNU/Linux is growing more and more every day and [in late April of last year](https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/8g3n1e/congrats_to_rlinux_weve_hit_the_300k_subscriber/) r/linux hit the 300k mark. In about 14 months we grew by 100,000 people!

GNU/Linux is an operating system that gives you control. r/linux users prefer our Operating System not just for its reliability and openness but also for respecting our privacy. This is all thanks to countless hours of efforts by many GNU/Linux contributors!

Please consider donating to the [Free Software Foundation](https://my.fsf.org/donate/), [GNOME](https://www.gnome.org/support-gnome/donate/), [KDE](https://kde.org/community/donations/), or the many other GNU/Linux projects to help continue the growth of Linux. You can find more projects over on [Liberapay](https://en.liberapay.com/explore/organizations), [open collective](https://opencollective.com/), or let us know your favorite projects in the comments below!

r/linux is far from the only GNU/Linux community on reddit. /r/linux_gaming is the biggest specific use case Linux subreddit, /r/linuxquestions and /r/linux4noobs are always helping people sort out their problems, and more than likely your distro of choice has it's own subreddit which you can find an ever-expanding list over at the [wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/wiki/sidebar/supplemental).

Many projects over the years have helped Linux users make the switch. Wine is a well known project that helps users run Windows programs without having to use Windows at all. Many years of hard work have went into Wine and you can help by donating [here.](https://www.winehq.org/donate) Without Wine, recent developments that have helped GNU/Linux adoption such as [Valve's Steam Play changes](https://steamcommunity.com/games/221410/announcements/detail/1696055855739350561) which have allowed many Windows games to function on GNU/Linux at the click of a button on Steam. Not alone in this endeavor there are other options such as [Lutris](https://lutris.net/) and to get more help users can checkout the community at /r/linux_gaming which recently hit 100,000 subscribers.

Windows has shipped a full Linux Kernel available for installation to all Windows users. We recommend users of this feature to check out the subreddit r/bashonubuntuonwindows!

btrfs performance on a development machine

Is anyone using btrfs on a development machine? It seems that it had (has?) some performance issues for database workloads, so I'm wondering how that compares for the typical development workload.

wipe 2 hdd simultaneously via ssh

Hallo

How can i wipe 2 hdd simultaneously over ssh ?

I always used dd

`dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M status=progress`

`dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M status=progress`

or

`dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda bs=1M status=progress`

`dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdb bs=1M status=progress`

​

however, both commands takes too long to complete

​

is there a possibility to wipe both hard disks quickly and simultaneously?

Service stops working as soon as I close SSH connection

I have a Raspberry Pi with Raspbian Buster Lite. There's a service running to relay messages. Called NKN. Shouldn't really matter though. I run it headless and connect to it with putty. When I close putty and reconnect it asks me for my login and password like always and then there's nothing running. How can I keep it running?

Gnome has awful window placement.

It tries to mix tiling and floating window managers and creates the worst of both worlds. More often than not it's opening new windows in the top left corner, very distracting and annoying on my ultrawide.


I know you can change it to open new windows in the centre but that's only slightly better. Remembering the position the previous windows were closed in is the best way for a floating wm to work.

My Linux Journey So Far (Simplified)

I've actually never in my life had a Windows OS installed on any of my machines. I'm 14 and my dad had me using a Debian XFCE PC when I was around 7 or 8. I didn't really actually know anything apart from playing games and basic web browsing, but about 2-3 years later I had a new computer with Ubuntu 16.04 and he \*finally\* gave me root privileges. Broke my install later that night. After this, I started actually learning how to manipulate the system without messing it up. During this time, I stayed within the bubble of what I knew: Debian based Distros (Mainly because of I LOVED apt and dpkg). I think it was in the middle of last year that I tried out Arch and I LOVED it. Pacman was SO much easier than apt and I had access to the AUR which was awesome. I removed xUbuntu from my system and switched full time to Manjaro (mainly because it just works with very little troubles and all the goodness of Arch). That brings me to where I am today. My dad bought me a fantastic Thinkpad T510 a few months ago. I've been using my current Manjaro GNOME install for OVER A MONTH NOW! Very stable and productivity is fantastic. I've learned a lot on my journey including some basic understanding for programming languages like C, Bash (love it), CSS, Python, and HTML. I would not choose ANY operating system over Linux and I'm very happy that my dad was into Linux and the Open Source world and passed it on to me. Now I think he regrets it, though, because it's all I ever talk about.
