- OneDrive mirroring
Stop telling me that I am out of storage, I did not ask you to put my files there.
- Nvidia Linux drivers
A 2 month old driver from a desktop 3070 failed to detect a laptop 3050, and I had to chroot to remove the offending driver, buuuut
- Rescue USB
So it turns out the default Tumbleweed ISO is NOT a live image. Recue didn’t work nor did usb boot until I realised. Burned LMDE onto the usb key, and I was able to get back up and running relatively quickly.
1.) Windows did something where i could click one button or icon then it would become non-responsive. This isn’t the first time. I can’t reproduce but i “fixed it”, nad idk if the fix was unplugging all the usb crap or restoring the system image or re-installing the nvidia drivers or what
2.) Did you know windows assigns priority to game controllers and joysticks, and there’s no native way to change that? So if you happen to have an analog keyboard and a mouse-like-object, a Cyro, with an analog joystick then windows will cheerfully declare that they’re game controllers and some games won’t recognize your actual game controller since it’s registered as like game controller six or some bs?
3.) I’m sure windows has done some other bs but who even knows.
A bizarre audio issue I’ve been dealing with for months where some applications (discord, steam) will stop playing sounds when I receive a message after some random amount of time (days usually) restarting pipewire.pulseaudio and relaunching the applications fixes it but it’s annoying not realizing someone messaged me until hours later.
Discord flickering on Nvidia beta drivers when everything else works great now
For a minute there when my roommates window AC unit kicked on it sometimes blew the circuit my PC is on, and for some reason that was resetting my BIOS settings causing my PC to try to boot from the wrong drive. Dunno what that was about but it stopped happening so w/e

I can’t remember how I fixed this, but I fixed this. I think I had to force it to use a specific sample rate.
Windows being windows and changing things I set specifically for specific reasons but windows just changes it.
For instance for some fucking reason I was getting a security warning when opening any file with notepad++
- x86 Zionist 64
Bullshit architecture duopoly invented by the extremely crass. My next computer will either be ARM or RISC-V and I’m going to make sure my current computer lasts as long as possible before then.
- OpenWRT / network stuff.
Trying to set up OpenWRT on my router but it’s a dual partition so I have to figure out how to switch to the other partition. Gave up for now but yeah network stuff is pain. I got recursive DNS set up on my router though using my old ThinkPad x220. I blocked all the pRon, gambling and adware for my family.
- Wayland / New loonix stuff
I’m sticking to X11 for now until POP! OS 24.04 releases. I’m just sticking with POP OS for the forseeable future as university is starting and I can’t afford my irresistible urge to distro-hop and nerd out uncontrollably.
Nvidia Linux drivers are hell.
