:(

that’s actually really sad, IT of all people don’t care about FOSS?

sometimes you can’t even install windows without manually putting drivers on the install media

sucks to suck your grub bootloader calls it gnulinux

you think most foss don’t have ctrl+shift+z because you use ctrl+y.

try a bunch in live usbs and see for yourself

like the Picard thing they make

khtml my beloved, konqueror’s concept is worth so much much more than whatever apple shits out these days

interesting, I’ve been using Musicbrainz myself but this seems a lot easier for songs available there

I love my < $100 thinkpads running Linux but being 10yo or so I don’t think they’re what you’re looking for lol

i have one laptop with one of the new internal Intel wifi cards and it works pretty well, but all of my other devices don’t work that good. I just hate that you can’t use the microphone and headphones at the same time with most Bluetooth devices without getting horrendous quality, if that was improved I might use it a bit more

oh are you using secure boot? my condolences

fucking hate bluetooth ngl, it’s a horrendous standard that doesn’t do what I want it to do and even when it can it fails horribly and is unbearably unreliable

how did you install the nvidia drivers btw? I thought in mint there was a “driver manager” thingy that installed it for you with one click

omg that’s hilarious, truly a windows moment

do you use libinput or evdev?

need to see the source lmao

systemd is so much nicer though

alpine is cool but I’d only recommend it for computers that are so slow they struggle with Firefox

I’ve heard amd 5000 series had some freezing problems because of the core voltage being lower on linux, maybe try installing the microcode package?

try having a look at the logs from the end of previous boot, I think it’s journalctl -eb -1.

journalctl is afaik systemd’s log management thingy, and any software issue should be able to be found there.

if it’s a hardware/driver issue it might be a bit harder to troubleshoot though, what hardware (cpu/motherboard mainly) are you using?
