pin I just picked one gtk-3 theme and applyed it
I'll gladly check this in a VM again but so far any attempt at making it accept my theme settings has failed. Perhaps I have overlooked something. At any rate, I do want to stress that libreoffice
itself does work fine.
pin As @nia already mentioned, it will be released when needed. Btw, looking at the output you've posted you seem to be using several instances of qterminal.
I'm far from an expert on system internals but I do get your and nia's point. Still, having been used to very low RAM usage on this system it does stress me out seeing RAM accumulate at such a high rate. As long as it doesn't impact performance, I can live with that. Trouble is, I have machines with similar if not identical hardware with at least twice as much RAM that I reserve for VMs and heavier applications. This sort of thing makes me reluctant to migrate those systems to NetBSD at this stage.
That said, the real issue here for me is that the system actually did slow down to the point where multitasking became difficult. This significantly improved under XFCE somehow but not enough for me to be comfortable with. By way of comparison, I've been running FreeBSD 13 on this very same machine now (with UFS) with a near-identical setup and RAM is nowhere near as high. That said, this is just a first impression so I remain cautious. But I admit I'm pretty amazed so far. I'll report back on my findings with FreeBSD as soon as I can (in a different thread).
I will definitely be revisiting NetBSD on the X250 as soon as I can, though. Perhaps installing it without encryption this time and having a closer look at X11 settings also. I'm wondering if there's any issue with the graphics driver since I had to make some adjustments under FreeBSD as well. Will report back duly.
pin here's the output of top after 13h uptime right now
Looks pretty good to me! Unfortunately, that was not exactly my experience...
What system do you use if I may ask?
