Mupdf searches large pdfs much faster. However since I switched to wayland/sway I also use zathura because cut & paste works. Mupdf is an X application but I still use it to search large pdfs. But there is also this plugin but I did not try hard enough to get it running: https://github.com/pwmt/zathura-pdf-mupdf. Under xorg worked cut & paste with mupdf.
In 2021 I bought at least ten 870 EVO 4 TB SATA and six 980 Pro 2 TB NVMe. All devices failed within 6 months on barely used systems. Find some smart data here:
The pattern is always the same: I have them configured in a raid 1. Once a month debian does a raid check. During the raid check Debian reads all data from both devices. I get uncorrectable read errors. I no longer use Samsung SSDs and replaced them them with SSDSC2KB076T8, Micron SSDs and KC3000 Kingston NVMes. No failures since then. In 2021 I told a friend of mine about the issue. He also had a 870 EVO, issued a dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/null bs=8M and guess what, he got uncorrectable read errors. Due to running them in RAID 1 I caught the issue early and I had no data loss or downtime because the Linux software raid compensated for the bad hardware. However I replaced them in a hurry because I no longer trust Samsung SSDs. As you can see from the smart log they're barely used. Less than 4 months in service and 10 TB written. I also got uncorrectable read errors when evacuating data from the devices.
Similar experience for me. Four 2TB 980pro in RAID-Z2. Since introducing the drives in August 2021 I've had to replace them five times. I think none of the original SSDs are left. Only between 5 - 25TB written on average. Usually individual uncorrectable errors caught by ZFS, but one drive just straight up died.
I keep a cold spare these days. On the bright side, if the cycle continues, I'll never run out of warranty from Samsung or the vendor.
I tested mine. 980 (non-Pro) 1TB with ~20TB read and ~13TB of written. No errors logged. SMART looks fine. No errors when issuing dd as suggested. Though sometimes I do get weird errors put I will put the blame on AMDGPU drivers and the mess that Gnome on Arch often is.
Writing this from a X1 Gen9, I wouldn't call the following "very good". Not sure if it's already fixed in new firmware (and couldn't google the support forum right away), but I had to
* switch sleep mode to stop it from getting hot while asleep;
* disable touchpad in BIOS to stop it from spinning fans while awake — great for me because I don't like it anyway and vastly prefer the trackpoint, but people not used to this consistently go wtf while trying to show something on my laptop.
I had some of these issues with the 5.17.x kernels but once I switched to Fedora 36 and 5.18.x, and updated the BIOS, the situation improved dramatically and sleep was fixed.
I also did one or two years daily headspace and it helped me a lot. At some point I stopped, but I need to get back to it. I also used a headspace sleep meditation often. Now that you mentioned the pooch palace sleep story, I searched for it everywhere but did not find it. Where can I get it?
