TIL about pv --watchfd

Useful if you forget to use pv at all, or, recently, when I ran pv and didn't notice for probably 10-20% of the file that the progress bar was missing. Previously, I've resorted to tricks like

mkfifo pipe
pv ... > pipe
<pipe restofcommand

in separate terminals, so that I'd get a useful pv progress bar.

But since the pipeline was this far along, I thought I'd look up that pv --remote option, and found pv --watchfd instead. Should be able to watch anything doing big sequential file reads, not just pv itself!

How is Tuxedo OS as of Recently? (Cant find any recent reviews about it on YouTube)

[](https://www.reddit.com/r/linux4noobs/?f=flair_name%3A%22distro%20selection%22)

Just started using Linux, currently in Fedora KDE. And i seem to have a issue with wifi, the solution is to basically change my wifi card and i am not doing that.
I have a laptop and i heard there are some OS that specialize in laptop setups (Supporting hybrid setups,which means it can switch between CPU and GPU efficiently) and have good support for drivers out of the box.

POP OS seems to be in a beta stage and people are saying its just not good enough as of now.

Mint OS seems too vanilla? idk iam not sure but i dont want another boring OS like windows again.

But Tuxedo OS is also making a big switch up from Ubuntu to Debian testing,
and i want to know if that is reliable as of yet.
This is my main device so i just want reliability with good enough customization.

Linux and apps for an infant

I’ve got a little one who wants to be like her dad and click-clack at the computer. Old enough to know what the keyboard does but not old enough to type anything meaningful.

Does anyone have a go to distro or simply a recommendation of an application for kids that allows input and “makes something happen” which also requires an incantation to close or is otherwise as hard to close as bloody Vim?

Medically retired. Want to give back to Linux. What free pathways exist to help train someone to a level where they can assist with the Linux kernel?

I've been medically retired and now have more free time. As well, I've been daily driving Linux since about 2010. Aside from helping other users in random posts, I have largely been a consumer of Linux.

Over the last few weeks I've seen and read posts leaning towards Linux needing kernel maintainers. While I am not a complete noob, i know I'm not a software engineer.

This leaves me with two questions:


1. What courses or certifications do I need to help maintain the kernel?


2. Is there another way to give back in the meantime?


Thanks

How fork() duplicates a process without copying its memory

I made a visual explainer on how copy-on-write works in Linux.

When a 10 GB process calls fork(), Linux does not immediately copy 10 GB of memory. It duplicates the page tables, points both processes at the same physical pages, marks them read-only, and waits for the first write.

The video also covers things like page faults,exec(), Redis snapshots, Android Zygote, lazy zero pages, memory overcommit, COW storms, and some CVEs, etc

Link for anyone interested

Feedback welcome :)

What are future developments of desktop linux?

Recently we had immutable and atomic, but is there anything in development now that might see staple use in the future? Like the next 5 years or so considering the current state of development, maybe something along the lines of some new fs or idk some revolutionary new wine stuff, or just a paradigm changer like... immutables that changes the way a traditional linux desktop works..................
