Not sure what distro you’re using but try the liquirox kernel. I did that one time on a really stubborn laptop and managed to get both the HDMI and the suspend feature working.
Using mainline or something to ensure I’m up to date on the latest kernel has never solved a single issue in my entire history of trying but using liquirox worked one time.
I always get screwed pretty hard with Debian drivers. Just the other day I updated my Debian server to Debian 12 and then it refused to allow my atheros 9k PCI wifi card to work unless I rebooted after a cold boot. After an entire afternoon, I got to where it wouldn’t work after a cold boot or after a reboot. I literally had to choose between buying a new wifi card or reinstalling Debian/a different distro.
I used to only use Debian for non-laptops but from now on I don’t think I’ll install any new Debian installations on anything.
Cilantro tastes like soap to me. I like it. I can eat as much of soap flavored plant as I want without shitting out bubbles.
Dang I thought proton was older than that. I remember playing No Man’s Sky on Linux around the time it was released on pc. I don’t remember running a pirated copy of NMS just so I could make it run on wine but maybe I was. (you used to have to do that whether you owned the game or not if you wanted to play on Linux).
One time I got downvoted to oblivion and then followed and harassed for saying that employers shouldn’t be allowed to drug test for thc… In r/lsd of all places. I still don’t know what that was about. Did I accidently trigger the “everyone dogpile this guy” bot algorithm, maybe in a different comment? Do lsd users just think they’re better than everyone else just because past use of lsd can’t really be drug tested for? This happened like a year ago and I’m still dumbfounded.
Usually, I do the simplest thing: all the stuff goes on one big ext4 partition. I don’t make a separate partition for /home. I’ll make a swap partition if I can remember but I’ve forgotten to do that before and nothing bad happened. The bootloader goes on a fat32 /boot/efi on the same drive as whatever the Linux install is on. This way I can swap around the drive to different pcs if I have to or easily change/upgrade drives without having to reinstall all my stuff.
This strategy works for dual booting Windows also. I’ll put the windows install all on its own separate drive so it won’t try to erase grub during a disk check or something. That happened one time. Also, by putting Windows and Linux on separate drives you can use the bios to boot between Windows or Linux if you mess up one of the bootloaders.
The more people that try to avoid these kinds of jobs, the sooner someone in power will change the rules.
It does cause chafing if you do a lot of walking around within the first few days, although for me all the chafing only ever happens in my crotch under my balls (I might as well shave everything since shaving the asshole is 99% of the work). Powder solves it but also if your job doesn’t require you to do miles and miles of waking a day, it’s a non issue.
Imho, the advantages of shaving my ass outweigh the negatives. Wasting toilet paper is bad. Streaks smell. The problem with bidets is you’ll only ever get to use one if you install one in your home. People always tend to refute every claim that it’s more hygienic, and while I’m not here to argue that, there are situations where not having all that crotch hair results in less body stench since it can be wiped easily. For further b/o control you can apply deodorant to your balls and that patch of skin above your dick and it’s really effective as long as you aren’t planning on getting your dick sucked.
Everyone is free to do whatever they want with their ass hair but every comment section about ass shaving is full of people that think it’s bad. It’s important people are aware of both sides of the story.
I kept my ass shaved during the pandemic. Only had to use like 2 squares of single ply toilet paper per shit. Ass hair is a conspiracy by toilet paper companies to sell more toilet paper.
The Lemmy.world server runs on a 16mhz 386dx and has 16mb of ram. It just does that sometimes.
If Harambe was still alive he’d already be dead
The real question is: where can you buy a printer that prints into toilet paper?
We are living in a real life 1984
You can still run Gentoo on a 486. I don’t recommend it.
I doubt my experience was the same as everyone else but I tried to install Debian on my gaming pc a week ago and I could not get Nvidia drivers to work for anything, there were no relevant search results and no one on any message board had any ideas. I gave up and installed Arch and Nvidia drivers without making any hardware changes and it was so unexpectedly easy I still can’t believe it.
I use Debian on my server so I was shocked that it was basically impossible to get Nvidia drivers working, at least on my chipset.
The “dead” platforms still exist it just that they’ve undergone unacceptable amounts of corporate enshitification.
Thats why they support modding so much, they basically outsource testing and bugfixing to their community of eager modders.
Good point. It could be a lot worse. They could not do mod support and still release broken buggy games like many other publishers do.
I’ve been dual booting Windows and Linux since the 00s. At some point around 2015-2016 I just stopped installing and maintaining Windows altogether and now I have a virtual machine image I just transfer around my network if I ever have to use Windows for something.
I think the real turning point for me was when they introduced UAC and ever-increasing restrictions on unsigned drivers starting with Vista. Wine was already a thing and I could run most games I cared about even back then although I still had to boot into Windows for gaming sometimes. Once steam Proton starting getting really good which was around 2015, there just wasn’t a reason to be using Windows anymore. As the enshittification of Windows continued getting worse it became more tedious and time consuming to get anything done in Windows to the point you might as well use Gentoo. I do programming and game modding for fun and there’s no way I could use modern Windows for this it’s so bad and slows everything down with it’s utter bullshit.
I can’t wait for Starfield to come out. If it’s a broken mess on day 1 and there will be lots of juicy internet drama. It might even be as entertaining as the 2020 presidential debate.
I do this. Random ebay junk is both better and cheaper than a raspberry pi. When I first started doing home server stuff, I had the option between an Athlon XP and a raspberry pi and the Athlon XP delivered better performance (I tried both).
