LM 17.3 xfce constant lagging
I'm using LM 17.3x
LIVE. Have constant and sometimes, severe lagging issues. Problems started when I "upgraded" to 18.3x. I tried 5 other distros all with the same issues. Went back to 17.3 and , alas, the problem followed. Found this: sudo gedit /etc/sysctl. conf vm. swappiness = 15, but all it did was set in the terminal(never executed). Hopping someone here can direct me on how to alleviate all the lagging.

I wonder string constant exists permanently or temporary.
For example,
printf("hello, world");
the function printf access to it is through a pointer. Does it mean storage is allocated for the string constant to exist permanently in memory? :confused: (4 Replies)
