I’ve done an update and suddenly bluetooth doesn’t work. Or audio. Or the network is fucked. Or there’s no display on soft reboots, and you have to completely shutdown, turn off and restart to get video again.

One of the current Microsoft-induced selling points for linux is that it's supposedly a great alternative for hardware that doesn’t support TPM, particularly for people who wouldn’t know how to disable that requirement on Win11 and above. Well, guess what? All that equipment is old. So all the arguments that it’s a hardware problem are not great for linux, since it’s linux that doesn’t play nice with it without fiddling.

For a time I was able to turn this machine into a Hackintosh that ran MacOS well with everything compatible, including the video card before they switched to metal and discontinued support for nVidia drivers. That was easier than getting linux to work and stay working properly, and it’s well documented how much of a pain Hackintoshes were to get working right.

Until a normal system update breaks something within a few days, weeks, months, whenever. And you may be able to fix it. This is a common occurrence that can happen to anyone, not that it necessarily will. It is well documented in the annals of lemmy.

They would be introduced to my sovereign right to beat their ass.

“Air homies” are in meditative breathing communities. Not actually that weird.

Thank you! Glad I’m not the only one to mention this or agree with it. Had some twit bitching at me last night to prove it, as if I kept screenshots or something. I just fixed things and moved on.

That was definitely a joke, I don’t think Trump would ever have VP Meatball, but agreed.

Yeah, it’s pretty vague. I think the proper takeaway is to use them as soon as possible, and at the very least they probably won’t do harm. Hopefully.

ikr? They were like “fuck that guy if he’s dead, but he didn’t found this.”

Not sure what problem you ignorant people have with reading, but I’m currently using it after fixing problems that some people insist didn’t exist. My system has Win10, Linux Mint and Garuda all working, after fixing multiple things. The linux distros still occasionally break after basic system updates and need to be fixed again. Meanwhile, Win10 has been solid as a rock for me. I spend zero time troubleshooting it. Bye.

edit: before the next assumption is made… no, the linux distros don’t share a partition, they’re in independent partitions, on a separate drive from and not sharing a boot partition with Windows, so none of that are valid issues to blame.
