LP🔸Light up the nightFeb 9

been doing desktop linux on the desktop for a week(?) now, and yeah, it's no better than it was 20 years ago, and in many ways worse

a lot of this is nvidia's drivers, but I doubt it's their doing that the keyboard turns off randomly like 10% of boots, the mouse never turns off on shutdown, the audio is broken about 20% of boots because it's forgotten there's a front analogue port...it's all so deeply jank. It *just about* works, mostly, in a way large compute clusters full of microservices do.

@LionsPhil I've been running Linux on desktop for quite a few years and I keep hearing people have these sorts of issues. I haven't had similar issues in years. That said, NVIDIA is making it very hard to like anything even remotely related to 3D acceleration.

If I had the option to run basic applications more easily on ChromeOS, I would most likely abandon Linux completely on desktop.

If I had a better option, I would swap in a heartbeat. For the time being, the options for me are even worse.

@ressu yeah, it's probably evident that it's win10 EOL pushing me to try to deal with it outside of a VM (where it's much happier living with theoretical perfect open hardware)
