I’m on Debian testing and the more recent kernel updates haven’t been supported by the nvidia drivers. Somewhat annoying but not difficult, just stuck on 6.x until they sort that out.

Back in the day you could fit a pretty functional linux on a 1.44mb disk


I’ve always said my main takeaway from Asimov is that simple rules can generate extremely complex behaviour, and that you can’t generally get a targeted complex behaviour from simple rules.

It’s not for the hand.
Now you can have any colour you want, but they have mandatory LEDs embedded in every peripheral a d they no longer sell opaque cases.


Didn’t windows XP have a similar bug? Related to the windows uptime counter, iirc.

I’m glad you’re here to tell me how my experience the last 30 years was. Thank you for enlightening me as to how my choices were wrong and how I was silently suffering.

Never been a stranger to compiling my own kernel or mucking about with DLL overrides.
I read that as the sales pitch, not their actual opinion.
