If it was your only copy, then it wasn’t a backup.

Not a dumb question, I have seen my Deck carry some weird bugs across a reboot. I don’t even bother with the reboot command anymore, it takes about the same time to shut down and turn back on.

AMD should stop making Intel chips unalive themselves with overvoltage transients. It is terribly rude.

At least Windows has more precise monitoring, it will tell you whether the process is “Windows Telemetry” or “SVCHOST.EXE”.

The OOM killer always, invariably starts off with killing the display server. Any side effects such as “the notification daemon loses its connection and closes” or “every single thing that you were working on loses its connection and closes” is incidental.

I have an early Deck, so I know that pulling the battery* is going to be a huge pita.

*without setting it and myself on fire.

I don’t need any special advances in batteries, I just need “it’s possible to replace them” and “it’s possible to get them”.

Anybody that claims to know what they’re doing with grub is a fool or a liar.

From what I can tell, Nvidia drivers only started to git gud at doing Wayland around version 555.

Big brands have the money to provide longer support, but not the inclination lol.

“Drivers” are only when you do ring 2 message passing in a hurd microkernel. Everything else is just “late-bound function call steering that happens to satisfy hardware-specific device communication and control”.

If you aren’t consuming the content on a genuine Apple®️ iPod™️, then it is not a podcast.

The stable Steam Client is still a September build, even though the whole rest of the stable OS is dated to a few days ago.

The funny part is that you can hold down the … button, and see the new overlay which has the new recording shortcuts. They do not work.

Disable “Fast Startup” so that Windows actually shuts down when it shuts down.

“Two pointers” makes a lot of sense if you actually have the ability to pay attention to two things simultaneously. Most froods are not hoopy enough for this.

Nouveau or Nvidia’s own drivers? X11 or Wayland?

Looks like you need winetricks to install CJK_fonts.

*journalctl

Is anything going down in the system log when you mount a drive, or trigger an access error? If it’s (one of the many) security systems clamping down, they tend to log that.

Considering how poorly “the remarkably well supported ARM” Raspberry Pi is at playing video, I am shocked.
