So I got hit with Microsoft's Windows 11 nag screen...
  • I hear ya. I bought a AMD CPU+GPU laptop to run Linux on, but a month later I'm back to Windows.

    While the default graphics driver worked most of the time, I had random graphic card crashes on a 20 year old Wine-ran game. Even the official amdgpu driver had issues (PITA to install as its not being maintained). No issues with newer games through Steam (Proton is amazeballs) fortunately. I also had random issues with a second monitor not being detected that were probably graphics driver related. Some random UI focus issues were likely a window manager issue (KDE).

    Sleep/hibernate doesn't work 'out of the box' and I couldn't get it working reliably after screwing with grub. It was a gamble if it would actually power down or just go back to the lock screen. I don't know why its so difficult for a basic thing that's been around for decades.

    So now I'm back on Windows, everything works as expected. Honestly I love Linux and its leaps and bounds better from what it was, but Windows is a still better choice for hardware support reasons. I'll give it another try if AMD gets it together with their driver support.

  • Texas amendment results rundown
  • They don't think, and 82% of people don't vote. And if they do vote, they're going to the polls without any prior knowledge on what they're voting on. They enter the poll booth to read the proposal description for the first time and decide on the spot. Very few of us are reading guides and researching to read through the bullshit description to make sensible votes. Its a fucking joke and its by design for those in power.

  • Who killed MySQL?
  • My guess:

    spoiler

    An attacker exploited a SQL injection or buffer overflow flaw in Apache+PHP+MySQL (which they have no idea about), installed a Java based coin miner (gross, I know), and deleted /var/log to cover up their tracks. But it was Col. Kernel that killed MySQL for using up too much memory. Ruby is just there because of some obscure distro dependency nobody uses.
