I know it’s a joke, I hate to be that guy. But this meme feels old and obsolete now. I can’t remember the last time I had to tweak my Linux. The fun is gone

For real. I recently had to swap my window manager to xmonad just to feel something again.

Cool! Maybe I can challenge you. Can you help me figure out how I can get my Hyprland session back on my Arch install? I have a Radeon 7700 XT and I recently installed an RTX 4070 to assist with some compute tasks. With both cards installed GDM doesn’t populate the Hyprland option. If I remove the 4070 everything goes back to normal.

(This is also a joke, you don’t need to help me troubleshoot this.)

(Unless you actually know how in which case I can pay you $20 for your time)

Haha, I was hoping that because all my monitors are plugged into my AMD card that it wouldn’t cause as many issues, but I was mistaken.

I’m looking at it as an opportunity to learn more about the Linux kernel, the order that certain modules are being loaded in, and environment variables.

Yeah it just works now. Sometimes I miss the days where we had to troubleshoot sound drivers, because it made us learn so much. Even if we didn’t manage to fix the problem, we learned about how sound works in Linux.

Can i interest you on the deep customization of nixos?

Jokes aside. I don’t really use the deep patching nix enables. The area of customization i want: look and feel of applications. It’s not something that’s doable really. Desktops are just different ways to launch a web browser T_T

Last week for me lol.

AMD DRM bug in the kernel that prevents certain 3D rendering or something. Most games through WINE/proton was broken. Had to downgrade the kernel.

Wouldn’t call that fun as it prevented one of the very few days per month I get to play games with some of my friends

It’s interesting to read people’s issues on Linux. It seems almost all of them come from the graphic stack and gaming. Using an Intel card I haven’t seen an issue in forever.

Yeah I think current graphic development is going at breakneck pace, but of course that means a lot more bugs…
