  • No kidding. Why else would it be the result of an attempted update. But thanks for the continued condescension.

    Can we perhaps stop pretending that it’s the most normal thing on earth to run an update and get back “hm yeah so there’s an issue, to fix it you’re gonna have to uninstall your entire GUI and half of your core operating system”, and it’s simply user error to be irritated by that in any way.






  • I met a friend of a friend at an event and somehow PCs and Linux came up. He asked if I’m a Linux user (which I like to think you can’t immediately tell). I assume to build some nerd cred. I said “yeah, I technically have Linux with me right now”. He asked what I meant, so I pulled out the Steam Deck. He was unfamiliar and I briefly explained.

    When he heard it’s a commercial product (obviously), he actually pretended to faint. And then kept acting as if I had personally insulted him, not in a joking way. I had clearly failed the purity test in that moment.

    It was a strange experience. Not even in hackerspaces I’d ever had a conversation like that. So these people are rare but they do exist.
