Performance Bottlenecks and Swap

You can set VLC to use VDPAU in settings.

I did set VDPAU in VLC in Q4OS...but then there isnt my test video displayed...only when I do congi the X11 driver

I have been thinking of trying Q4OS. It is debian-based, right?

yes

added this line in fstab so it will only try to mount if Linux sees it and runs at a lower priority than the zram swap volumes:

Code:

/dev/sda2   swap   swap   sw,nofail,pri=1 0 0

Can I use the same but for my class 10 mini-sd card?

[zer0sig]

you would need to change /dev/sda2 to /dev/mmcblk1p1 as that is the first partition on the SD card as detected by the kernel. Also, the pinebook will try to boot on the MicroSD if installed. you could install i during boot but you might not install it in time to have it detect it and mount it. The nofail setting means it won't crash without the card, but unless you insert the card between start of boot and detection time (this is probably a very small window) you will want to open the MATE terminal and run sudo mount -a to mount the drive after boot.

Wow, okay, I'll just buy bigger emmc
