  • Problems on problems - Mint can't see my wifi card.

  • I bought a cheap-ass Asus laptop knowing that the installed wifi module was not supported by linux. So I bought a new wifi module that had linux support for like $20 and swapped it in.

    This is the one I got, but I'm sure there are more like it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SH6GV5S

  • As arch users, we would never need the help of some low-level IT person though. That would be ridiculous.

  • I remember back in 2017, I didn't really need any big desktop apps anymore. All I used was Salesforce, Netsuite, O365, Postman... I asked my company to just give me a Chromebook. Now I hate Chromebooks and I could very much do my job on a Linux distro mainly using web apps if needed.

    My IT dept would never allow it because they can't install security software on it. Obviously I'd be pretty safe from malware, but they'd have to trust that I set up firewalls and password protection because they couldn't enforce a group policy, and their data loss prevention tools wouldn't work.

  • How poor is the average American?

  • This may be unpopular to hear... but most of the justifications for not having roommates are like the ones in this thread. People say they can't have roommates because they have social anxiety or other people are just jerks.

    To an older person it sounds like "My generation can't have roommates because we don't get along with other people, and they don't get along with us." That's not an economic problem.

    It's actually far far more worrying than that. What happens to a generation that has no ability to coexist with other people? What happens to the world when they are in charge of it?

  • I’m an American and I had a pretty decent job out of college and the idea of moving out of my parents house without roommates was impossible. In fact I don’t know a single person who did it.

    Not to pick on you specifically, but I've never understood the modern generations' seeming aversion to housemates.

    I had housemates from after college until 7 years later when I had a wife, starting in the mid-90s. My mom had housemates in the 60s after college (my dad had the GI bill, which afforded flexibility, but had other drawbacks).

    It seems weird to me that people these days seem to think that's unacceptable. That's how people do it when they are just getting started. Either that, or they live somewhere less desirable, far from cities, small, old, crappy. Personally I did both... housemates in a rural area in a shitty place. :)
