    Don’t know what it is in this thread. “It did not work for you so you must have done something wrong”?

    See my thread where some dude says it should just work (when he is just doing LTS kernel updates only and not updating in general).

    Comments simply blaming the user based on their limited usecase are hardly constructive.

    Bleeding edge in Debian? I was not even using the “testing” release of Debian.

    If your point is that it’s fine for a company to get their stuff out there in a timely fashion, that company just sucks balls in my opinion.

    Just FYI I am perfectly fine with you having your workarounds and (apparently different) opinion.

    I expected some basic civility and more constructive tone of words. But if you start blaming me as a user for something basically ALL other vendors are coping with just fine, thats where the discussion stops with me.

    I am definitely not against linux (daily user myself). And honestly, people like you don’t make Linux more attractive of an option.

    Have a good one.

    You have adapted your way of working around the fact that it can break:

    1. Not auto updating
    2. Checking if it is an LTS

    I call that way of not updating “annoying” and insecure IMO.

    Other vendors don’t have this issue.

    My conclusion: steer clear of Nvidia.

    Debian.

    Well, every kernel update is overstated maybe, but I had my fixed workflow of dropping to text mode and reinstalling the latest drivers from vendor, which is annoying as hell.

    Dropped the card after meddling about for almost a year. Been using Linux since slackware was still hip & happening.

    My experience with Nvidia (granted, 3 years old experience):

    Going with the closed source driver means stuff breaking each kernel update. Going with the opensource driver (while it may work for you): not everything is supported.

    So its not just “people being annoyed with Nvidia” i’d say.

    Not to pretend I know it all, but have actively been using Linux on desktops and normal laptops for years now and I do have to agree.

    Those old Macs are actually quite hard to get working right (fans, touchpad etc).

    It is not impossible, but it takes quite an investment.

    But Macs aside, nowadays a lot of desktops ánd laptops install flawlessly though.



  • The “star construct” you mention and hang an entire theory on is just a German language construct. It has to do with gender but not the way you imagine it to be. Just gender as a language construct (German is full of gender constructs).

    Maybe I made the error of explaining your post with the typical US “there is only one gender” stance which is so irritatingly omni present on youtube nowadays.

    But if that was not your intention, it might also be an error to call me nationalist. I am not. I am all for gender inclusivity. If you are as well we have no beef.

    And PS: yes, you are still an asshole.
