  • For me unfortunately it has been Step 1 install literally the most universally compatible distro possible

    Step 2 audio drivers craps out. No fix is available. Trying to apply workarounds completely Bork the system

    Step 3 install again. graphics driver is problematic, refresh it giving it MOS permissions. I miss the MOS permission screen at the reboot. Look for how to do obtain that option again. No easy way to do it at all. Bork the system again

    Step 4 install again. Notice touch screen support is completely useless, and pen is not supported.

    Step 5 Ask myself if keeping a 1200$ computer with tinny audio, no graphic hardware acceleration and a half functional display can be justified in any way. It can’t.

    Step 5. Back to windows. Bloated, but it works.

    Unfortunately system support is still very iffy on some models. I’d really like to embrace the distro life but can’t.







  • Right now the comparison between France (61 GWs of installed nuclear) and Germany (130+ -!!!- GWs of installed renewables) is disastrous. Their choice to phase out their remaining plants was criminal but the policy is dumb in general, tying themselves to coal and gas power for the realistic future. I’m very curious to see when (or if) they’ll ever get to the same emission levels and how much time and money they’ll have wasted by then.

    BTW. Nuclear Power Plants pay themselves up in decades of operation. Of course a privateer is not extremely keen in this kind of investment. That is exactly why countries are supposed to invest in strategic infrastructure, which are partly indirectly financed by privateers through treasury bonds.
