Depends on config, ArchWiki recommends optmizing some sysctl values to take advantage of it
it generally starts kicking in after >60% RAM usage even with this config
These updates land on testing quickly, however due to the several packages updated at once, they all need to be tested by volunteers, and only when all of them are signed it's pushed out of testing
That'd be over 1TB with zram on
Considering it's almost always 30°C+ 60%+ RH at least half of the year where I live, yes
Refrigerating them increases their shelf life significantly in these conditions
It's probably less effective in other cooler and drier climates
For those who use Wayland and autostart, don't forget to edit
/etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf
from KDE5: Session=plasmawayland
to Plasma6: Session=plasma
to confirm the exact name, check what is available under /usr/share/wayland-sessions/
if you're stuck, try pacman -Q | grep -i kde and pacman -Q | grep -i plasma and remove everything related, then fresh install plasma-meta or plasma group and it should work

Happened once around two years ago, s botched update from mainstream or something like that. Made me learn systemd boot which is simple and never EVER use grub again
Already switched to AMD to enjoy it
I figured the root cause of the problem and a workaround. Journalctl shows this info when starting SVP:
- Video: 0 GPU OpenCL device(s) on rusticl [OpenCL 3.0] (Mesa/X.org)*
this thread says rusticl is broken
https://www.svp-team.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3167&p=17
therefore disabling hardware acceleration, for now, makes svp work again
Mind sharing whhich situations would a timecard be useful ? Probably something that requires enhanced time precision, I just can't figure it out
