  • I had an nvidia card in my possession briefly recently. when I was testing it I found distros that have a separate nvidia installer image are the way to go if you dont want to have a shit time. Converting a standard image post install is about as much of a shit task as it was back when I had a gtx 460. once its set up either way it seems mostly fine but I already had a more recent amd card and don’t want to deal with the kernel module crap. dkms has failed me a few times in the old days and I never forgave it.










  • One does not simply “switch back”. Anyone that stops using Linux was never converted from M$ or A₽₱£€ in the first place, and either was briefly testing it and it didn’t work out for them, trying it under duress and it didn’t work out for them, or trying it to sound less obviously lying or decades out if date when talking it down. Real Linux users only convert others, or tell you it’s actually GNU/Linux, or make sure new users trying out Mint use Debian edition. Real Linux users would use a separate partition or computer for anything that absolutely requires windows that they are unable to part with, even though it can be a pain and windows will periodically try to replace your multi os friendly bootloader with it is own.



  • Dunno about him, but for me I forget to update it and then when I remember it can’t update because its so out of date it cant resolve something or other, and I end up having to just reinstall the latest version and jump through hoops to get the users files to show up, and then one time before as well as the most recent one that made me give up database problems occurred and I don’t know how to database.




  • Does this let me limit what each family member can see to only what is theirs or I can trust them with? Currently I don’t have anyone else set up at all because I couldn’t prevent them from turning off the power strip for my 3d printers, or opening the garage without realizing it and getting my previous bike stolen.

    My current setup is massively out of date too since the update failed one day and I haven’t been able to complete the requirements for it to work, and I’m planning to move it to a different computer anyway, but I’ve been putting it off while also hoping for this functionality to show up.
