```text After all these tricks I tried to open my current project with IntelliJ IDEA 12 … Wow!!! It is fantastic! Works like a … sword!!! Why sword?! I don’t know exactly. May be because of Darcula theme. This is just first thought what came to my mind seeing the overall results. The Intellij IDEA 12 now works as a lightsaber sword, as a weapon of a Jedi Knight, which you can trust in Java world! ```

Trash is disabled in GNOME with p3x-ramdisk. It will ask for confirm to delete data. You might have it in the previous save. It is possible to enable trash bin, but for me is not important now, so I disabled, memory is not cheap. # Setup **Use GitHub for info, NPM hides wide strings.** https://github.com/patrikx3/ramdisk ```bash # of course your data will never be deleted, # double persistence (current, previouse, saves every 20 minutes) # load on boot, plus at shutdown and suspend it saves
