Microsoft's latest Windows 11 update is reportedly a borkfest that breaks mouse, keyboard, WSL 2 and Wi-Fi functionality. Steer clear of KB5043145 if you're not into BSOD.
So, you want to use AUR whenever possible by adding -git to every package that you want to install, also mess with your python install by mixing pip and AUR packages, don't forget to install your nvidia beta drivers.
sorry we no longer have people working on making the os work. everyone's hard at work finding more spaces we can put ads and making copilot a useless piece of shit.
This is why I'm always a few versions out of date, ever since they started bricking computers via Windows update. Keeps me clear of their horrifying AI and additional telemetry and adware "enhancements" too.
Win11 might get "usable" in the same sense that 8.1 was "usable" closer to the end. It was still a turd. I'm sticking with my Windows10 install as long as I can, and later switching the gaming PC to Linux if necessary. Maybe even keep a partition or drive with 10 as a "retrobox" for when it's end of life. It's mostly old games that don't run well on Linux, anything more modern should be fine.
This is why I installed linux on my Microsoft Surface Pro. The newest updates (this really wasn't an issue until this year) keep breaking a ton of shit.
I live in Linux ( mint) and have had two bork events recently (and many over the years, since the 90’s). Thankfully nothing that timeshift couldn’t solve, but they do happen. That’s why people are getting hard-ons about immutable distros.
Finally I'm early enough to the thread where I can reccomend people use Fedora or Mint like a normal person and not shitty Ubuntu or furry infected Arch.
Oh and also windows insider hub can get screwed lmao
We're all against Windows. Fighting amongst ourselves is just gonna turn more people off Linux which is the opposite of what we want. If you're trying to get people to switch, the last thing you should do is shame them immediately afterward. They'll just go back to Windows where there's less of a stigma.
