Checks out. Born in the 80s and I’ve got that freck. It has to be a vaccination mark, right?

I hear ya. I bought a AMD CPU+GPU laptop to run Linux on, but a month later I’m back to Windows.

While the default graphics driver worked most of the time, I had random graphic card crashes on a 20 year old Wine-ran game. Even the official amdgpu driver had issues (PITA to install as its not being maintained). No issues with newer games through Steam (Proton is amazeballs) fortunately. I also had random issues with a second monitor not being detected that were probably graphics driver related. Some random UI focus issues were likely a window manager issue (KDE).

Sleep/hibernate doesn’t work ‘out of the box’ and I couldn’t get it working reliably after screwing with grub. It was a gamble if it would actually power down or just go back to the lock screen. I don’t know why its so difficult for a basic thing that’s been around for decades.

So now I’m back on Windows, everything works as expected. Honestly I love Linux and its leaps and bounds better from what it was, but Windows is a still better choice for hardware support reasons. I’ll give it another try if AMD gets it together with their driver support.

I guess that previous Ghostbuster movie I didn’t see got retconned. Poof… right into the containment box of forgotten nightmares.

Didn’t say you were lying. But your game files might be super out of date.
