24 hrsand 3,200 config files later I can finally connect to the internet. Doesn't recognize my flash drive after formatting it. I love this operating system. So sleek and modern.

Hector Beerlioz posted:Can someone explain linux to me, a person who does not understand computers 100 years ago some nerds in a laboratory made an operating system that was pretty cool, then like 40 years ago some nerd made his own version of that operating system and today other nerds use it and think its cool because those 100 year old nerds are their idols. Even though said operating system is obsolete.

CaptainSarcastic posted:I know this is a troll post and all, but it's amazing how fast and easy Linux installs are nowadays. It wasn't that bad a decade ago, but today I'd rather do a fresh Linux install over a Windows install. 9 times out of 10 the Linux install is faster and takes less time to update afterward. Try installing linux on hardware that wasn't created in 1998.

Driver isn't working? Here's the source code. Just build it yourself. Note: You'll need to have libxrcyz in order for IRQ33 to run. If you've got version 1.0.2.33 broadwell-u gpu you'll need to run xkurgan. If you have any questions just contact me on freenode.

I had to do some voodoo magic config file poo poo on my laptop to disable power management on my network card just to get linux to connect to the internet. Now my battery lasts about 30 minutes before dying. Such a sleek and modern OS.They can't just release a patch for that poo poo, you have to search the bowels of the internet for some uber nerd to tell you that you need to disable reg35 in your xrg.conf file. Then you have to figure out where xrg.conf is. Then you find it and you have to do some sudo chmod +x poo poo in order to even be able to edit the file. Then once you finally figure all of that out, your screen goes black because xrg.conf is only available for Ubuntu 15.10 and then you have to upgrade and then Ubuntu corrupts your flash drive so you have to get on a computer that's running Windows in order to format your flash drive and then install linux and then you kill yourself.

ars posted:Did you know Apple produces very good UNIX laptops. Yes, but Apple avoids the Linux problems by controlling the hardware that their os runs on. Windows runs on literally everything. Linux TRIES to run on everything, but fails miserably. Bareback Werewolf fucked around with this message at 09:38 on Apr 1, 2016 |

I found a cool bug with YouTube on Linux. When you click on your Google notifications, if one of those notifications has a YouTube video, and you play it, then you can't get the audio to stop unless you completely close Firefox.

I get sad when I see laptops pre-loaded with Ubuntu at Walmart. You just know some poor grandma is going to buy that laptop expecting Windows.
