Don’t know what it is in this thread. “It did not work for you so you must have done something wrong”?
See my thread where some dude says it should just work (when he is just doing LTS kernel updates only and not updating in general).
Comments simply blaming the user based on their limited usecase are hardly constructive.
Quite possible. Old fogey here 😉
Bleeding edge in Debian? I was not even using the “testing” release of Debian.
If your point is that it’s fine for a company to get their stuff out there in a timely fashion, that company just sucks balls in my opinion.
Just FYI I am perfectly fine with you having your workarounds and (apparently different) opinion.
I expected some basic civility and more constructive tone of words. But if you start blaming me as a user for something basically ALL other vendors are coping with just fine, thats where the discussion stops with me.
I am definitely not against linux (daily user myself). And honestly, people like you don’t make Linux more attractive of an option.
Have a good one.
To be honest, i dont know.
It was some years ago. But the pain remains 😉
You have adapted your way of working around the fact that it can break:
I call that way of not updating “annoying” and insecure IMO.
Other vendors don’t have this issue.
My conclusion: steer clear of Nvidia.
Debian.
Well, every kernel update is overstated maybe, but I had my fixed workflow of dropping to text mode and reinstalling the latest drivers from vendor, which is annoying as hell.
Dropped the card after meddling about for almost a year. Been using Linux since slackware was still hip & happening.
I’ll interpret this as “it worked for you”. It did not work for me.
My experience with Nvidia (granted, 3 years old experience):
Going with the closed source driver means stuff breaking each kernel update. Going with the opensource driver (while it may work for you): not everything is supported.
So its not just “people being annoyed with Nvidia” i’d say.
Not to pretend I know it all, but have actively been using Linux on desktops and normal laptops for years now and I do have to agree.
Those old Macs are actually quite hard to get working right (fans, touchpad etc).
It is not impossible, but it takes quite an investment.
But Macs aside, nowadays a lot of desktops ánd laptops install flawlessly though.
Amazing and heart warming to read! Sometimes all it takes for things to change are the actions of an individual!
Jeez you really are full of it.
Nevermind. Have fun playing by yourself.
The “star construct” you mention and hang an entire theory on is just a German language construct. It has to do with gender but not the way you imagine it to be. Just gender as a language construct (German is full of gender constructs).
Maybe I made the error of explaining your post with the typical US “there is only one gender” stance which is so irritatingly omni present on youtube nowadays.
But if that was not your intention, it might also be an error to call me nationalist. I am not. I am all for gender inclusivity. If you are as well we have no beef.
And PS: yes, you are still an asshole.
And why would you care? You are obviously not German (otherwise you would know that the shit you post is BS) and obviously scared about inclusivity (because you worry about how other people call themselves).
Get a life.
Provided this is not a joke, have you considered that this might be a coping mechanism? Almost the same way that people cutting themselves is a way of coping with stress or depression.
I would recommend talking to your GP or a psychologist.
Debian testing is insanely robust. I am currently not running it (testing) because I use it for work, but my past experience has been excellent.
Man. That is a fair and well thought over response.
I appreciate this! Articles like this is what I’m on lemmy for!
Because calling your post a response would not do it justice enough. An article indeed.

This is actually amazing. And a bad journalist.
I would not be surprised if (on a data science level) this means something about the true intentions and validity of the article.
Good bot!
This article was undoubtedly sponsored by Shell…
Ev’s get more and more range, they drive considerably better than the biggest gas guzzler and YES even if you take the lithium into account AND the production, they have considerable less emissions than the traditional car.
Now move on.
I am currently using it from a backend to generate pdfs.
One thing that prevents me from letting users build their own templates is the scripting capabilities. A joker creating an endless loop could block the whole server.
What would be nice is a “safe” mode in which no access to the file system (include and sorts) and limited runtime makes it safe to let users build their own templates.
