Been running endeavouros for over a year on two machines. The only time I couldn’t boot was when the Nvidia drivers decided not to work with the LTS kernel anymore. So I just started the normal kernel and changed that to the default in my boot manager. This is the only issue I’ve had with it and it’s arch based. I really don’t understand the bad reputation.

Also the arch wiki is applicable to most distros with only slight changes.

I tried installing rust which required some Visual Studio compiler on a Windows machine configured to reset itself when rebooted. It decided I needed a reboot. I’m glad I didn’t have unsaved files…

Needless to say I could not run my program on that machine. Why does it need a reboot? I don’t know. It’s just meant to be a compiler.

Understandable, I don’t really see how it’s related to this thread though.

It also had a lot of weird issues that people asked me or mostly techy people around me to fix. People with Windows 7 or 10 had significantly less issues and because of the familiarity (which obviously isn’t necessarily a good thing) more people could fix the problem due to having had it themselves.

Installing endeavourOS was easier than Windows because of all the ads you need to bypass and the telemetry options on Windows. The partitioning options on endeavourOS were easier too plus if necessary one can use a browser. The only difficulty there was on EndeavourOS which the Windows installer didn’t have was picking a wm.

That was the most complicated installer I’ve seen for a Linux distro beside arch32 which doesn’t even come with archinstall.

Because of the requirements like TPM2 and a bunch of of others.

Most places I know need to replace all their devices to support Windows 11. For the workload they are expected to run that hardware was fine.

How modern, I can’t believe your computers support Windows 11.

What does that face mean?

I mostly use Discord for a few group chats, unixporn (please post more of it to Lemmy :3 !unixporn@lemmy.world) and some BG3 stuff. If the group chats moved to Matrix+Jitsi or even some form of Signal (that is still foss and does not require a phone number, self-hosted if possible) I would barely use Discord.

Edit because somehow I missed the most relevant part: I already barely get memes or trolls so not too many changes there.

I pretty much only use Lemmy but also contact friends and share photos on a Nextcloud instance one of them kindly provided (I assume it isn’t federated though?).

I would really like to start using matrix but unless I host my own instance and get everything ready I’ll never be able to convince my friends to switch, though some of them are slowly getting fed up with discord too.

I have an i3 and a hyprland installation.

I like tiling wms but Wayland still has some annoying issues so I like having the more stable i3 installation on my main computer.

My phones (stock Google android and GrapheneOS) both had settings for do not disturb mode where media playback can be disabled. I assume that’s causing the issue but for me it was not default.

The same AI that was doing those Amazon go stores?

That’s an exaggeration…

If it works don’t fix it. Only issue might be extra dust but it sounds like there’s no solving that issue in your computer.

It’s meant to be right behind/in the big rectangular hole. It should have some screw holes on the side where it connects to the outlet (likely also has a power switch) that match up with the ones in the case. It looks like there’s an optical drive in the way though. If you like I can try my best to circle them for you.

I’d love (hate) to see the computer with the side panel open.

I get them on desktop before my phone gives me a notification lol.

For that kind of thing I use jitsi, works great and I have access to a sort of private instance that I use occasionally. Works for just voice too but it can be a little unreliable (the last two times I had a weird issue where the others suddenly couldn’t hear me and vice versa but reloading fixed it) so something else might be better for that…

I’m pretty sure that’s not how you write that but I guess that could be problematic.

(I’d say computer from 2012 but there’s probably shorter ways of saying it)

Just download it?
