  • Sonetimes i feel like its a lot of work to stick with linux

    Jump

  • It sometimes is, but then sometimes Linux is not to blame.

    Yesterday I was installing CachyOS on my son's laptop, because that's what he chose to use instead of Windows 10. The desktop came up fine, but no wifi adaptor was detected. I could try another more mainstream distro, but I wanted my kid to have what he chose. So we went troubleshooting. Googled the laptop model, found the adaptor, found the matching kernel module, checked the logs... and there it was, a cryptic error -110. Googled that and there was an answer: disable Windows Fast Boot.

    It turns out that Windows locks the wifi adaptor when shutting down in Fast Boot mode. So after disabling it and a couple of reboots later, CachyOS was installing flawlessly.

    It served as a lesson for me and an example for my kid to persevere and learn more.

  • Serious question: Do the republicans in office want to go back to the America of the 50's or am I trying to make sense of it by thinking too simple?

  • Are you taking notes, Nvidia? This is how you support and gain the trust of your customers.

  • That's a weird attitude. You know the jokes are about the racists and you still feel you are somehow doing something bad by enjoying it?

  • In addition to AI "Page Buddy," Firefox also Adding Google Lens, Stock Data, Tasks, Timer

  • I've used Firefox since the Netscape era. I used Firefox before it reached 1.0. I supported it when it was way slower than IE or Chrome. I will not support this.

  • Bottles: how can I repair / debug a bottle?

  • Another vote for Heroic.

    Works great for managing Epic, GOG and Prime collections.

    I honestly don't know how to deal with Bottles.

  • I worked in a company where this was used for implementing tamper evident logs, that allowed auditors to check for tampering.

    Blockchain is just a tool that can have legitimate uses other than scamming people.

  • Tamper evident logs are a good use case for blockchain.

    (Actually, I'd go either way, I love art)

  • Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks

    Jump

  • Regarding difficulty: I've lived through the 80's, where difficulty was ramped up to make the game last longer, as you only had precious few kilobytes to fill with content. I've grown to hate difficult games.

    It is your right as creator to go that way if you wish, but it is my right as player to hate your guts if I buy your game and it kills me over and over again in the first minutes.

  • I reinstalled because I don't know what I'm doing.

    Jump

  • My advice is: this isn't Windows, so if you look at the logs you will probably find clues to what is wrong. With those clues you can find help online, either from blog articles or from Linux forums like this one.

    I know reinstallation is the default in the Windows world, but you stand to learn a lot from trying to solve the issues you are facing.
