Pretty sure the commenter above meant that the their RAM was advertised as X GiB but they only got X GB, substitute X with 4/8/16/your amount

You can set the initial value directly in /etc/environment
, did you check that? It could also be set only for your user, so it might be in ~/.profile
, ~/.bashrc
or ~/.bash_profile` (or the rc file for your shell if you’re not using the default bash).
Edit: I suppose you could also have added a startup script in /etc/init/
or /etc/init.d/
, or in /etc/rc.local
I use it for everything, because I connected my external monitors through the eGPU. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PRIME has a few methods for running only selected applications via the eGPU, but I haven’t tried them. Edit: See also https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/External_GPU#Xorg for eGPU specific setups.
Can confirm, I’m using a dock (from Razor) daily without problems. Hot switching doesn’t work though, you need to restart X/your display manager to connect or disconnect the eGPU. I’d recommend the gswitch utility to configure the graphics card to be used (on X11). Haven’t tested much on Wayland, but I know that at least Gnome (Wayland only) has trouble mixing eGPU and the internal display if that is important.
555 is still in beta, so I wouldn’t be surprised if something doesn’t work. That said, I haven’t experienced what you have (on GTX 1070 TI), though using 555 causes lots of kernel errors for me. Checking dmeg might reveal something in your case as well.
