"This wouldn't have happened on Linux" I say smugly, as I copy and paste a command from a 2008 forum post, three hours into trying to get my fucking WiFi working on Arch.

@theresnotime Mint fully supports my video card, but by default, does not initialize it on boot, instead hard locking the system.

Yes, there's a way to fix this, which I will get around to implementing.....eventually.

@TranshumanBlues @theresnotime i3 or X or Nvidia proprietary drivers have a problem of not letting the screen turn back on sometimes and I have to shut the computer off w the power key to turn it back on. Sway on Wayland doesn't work with Nvidia proprietary drivers. Nouveau drivers don't recognize the monitor directly plugged into the GPU when I try to run any window manager.

I love Linux but widespread usage of Linux wouldn't have helped today lmao, infrastructure would just break every day

@raphaelmorgan @theresnotime Oh, absolutely. Sometimes (often) people are too quick to blame the OS.
