Well then, carry on Ethan!

Yeah, the Roadrunner could easily skip by such barriers, frustrating the Coyote to no end. Tesla is not a Roadrunner.

A whole lot of people who just do web or email or whatever could live with a Chromebook actually. They don’t really need the latest CPU/GPU and gobs of ram and disk space for simple stuff

Sorry, was expecting a flood that didn’t happen I guess. Why a separate partition for home (or var, or whatever you want to split off)? See

Linux programmers have been battling Microsoft and its shady deals with hardware vendors for decades. That’s the real problem. Just when something starts working too well, MS changes things up, dictates changes to hardware, and then that breaks it for Linux, so it’s back to the old IDE with new hardware to figure out how to get around it. Or the hardware folk just don’t consider Linux a viable alternative and just happily make sure only Winders runs well.

Can you use a hardware key like a Yubikey instead?

3 … 2 … 1 …

Or Wireshark

I learned by a lot of distro hopping, tweaking and tuning and compiling kernels (way back when tho), to not being afraid of “breaking things.” Since Nov. 1992. It helps when you use a spare PC or laptop though, no panic about loss

Any culture built on keeping yer yap shut is always bound to have less trouble. My Finn friend just nodded in agreement. Haven’t heard him speak a full sentence in years…

Oh man I’m way behind at Winders 3.1, better stick with Linux!

An HP by any chance? These don’t handle suspend well and you need to add a parameter or three at boot via grub (or systemd too). Otherwise the system gets tied up filling the log endlessly with rapidly cycling pcie errors and you end up crashing or frozen pretty quickly. If this might be your problem, see

Where there’s a problem there’s usually a solution, you just might need to root around the web for answers.
