  • I see. I remember there used to be issues with Intel GPUs on linux back 10-15 years ago, but it should work without issues today.

    However, on Linux mint you do have to open the driver manager and select your proprietary graphics driver yourself or you end up with the open source one which is not always as performant (though more backwards compatible). It should have the Intel drivers in there too. In general, only the graphics drivers need to be installed by the user and everything else should be set automatically.

    And in the case they were installed, rolling back to an earlier version of the driver might also improve it. It looks like Intel has stopped providing updates to the i7-3770 since a few years back, so a later Intel driver could be causing issues.

    It should work without any choppiness in the OS itself, but it might take a bit more configuration than newer ones that generally just immediately work.


  • Mind if I ask some things? If you don’t want to try again, you can ignore this.

    Did this happen while you were trying it out on the USB, or had the installation finished and you had removed the USB and restarted?

    Were the nvidia d rivers installed in the driver manager? Was there any difference with the open source drivers?

    Was secure boot disabled in your BIOS?

    Was it a laptop or desktop? In case of laptop it might have been using battery saver mode. installing https://github.com/linrunner/TLP might have helped setting it up properly if you don’t want to handle it yourself.

    What graphics card do you have? I can check if there are any compatibility issues, though there shouldn’t be unless it is decades old, in which case you might want to try out one of the more old hardware compatibility focused Linux distros.











  • I meant the thumbnail appeared after he pressed “post”, not that the article was edited. I say likely because as a software engineer I know how thumbnails generally are loaded on sites like these. They’re not part of the “post” data, and appear a short while afterwards as the site fetches metadata from the linked site and creates the thumbnail in the background so it doesn’t force the user to wait.

    I would say maybe snopes can’t tell the difference between posting an image vs posting an article and have an automatic system generate the image, but what actually is going to happen is the maga people are going to say “see, I knew the fact checkers were biased. They intentionally make bad faith articles like these”




  • I was willing to overlook:

    • The bed costs $2,000
    • It won’t function if the internet goes down
    • Basic features are behind an additional $19/mo subscription
    • The bed’s only controls are via mobile app

    My man would have been willing to overlook having Jeff bezos himself sleep in his bed with him before realizing what was happening.
