Nah, the installer is much more tame than it used to be. I just like to poke fun at ye olden times.

I did make a huge recent mistake by using an NVIDIA GPU on Debian. Every time it updated was playing Russian roulette with “is this gonna break my system and send me into six hours of troubleshooting?” Til I finally said fuck it and swapped it with my brother for his AMD card. And I haven’t had a single issue since.

I like Debian, but NVIDIA drivers just refused to play nice for any extended period of time.

All I know is I survived the Debian installer. But at what cost?

It’s my belief that one day a bunch of nerds way smarter than you or I will figure out how to run Linux on Apple Silicon. As many Macs as there are out in the wild, there has to be a market for this kind of thing once all these Macbooks start becoming e-waste.

Dolly’s version is a bunch of strong emotions you’re just barely managing to hold back.

Whitney’s version is a bunch of strong emotions you’re absolutely letting out.

Both are incredible and deserved their spots at the top of the charts.

Apologies, friend. It was all mint in good fun.

If you don’t like Debian, go fork yourself.

I’ve never even tried this, but now I’m gonna have to give it a whirl.

This is why I swapped my RTX 4070 with my brother for his 7700 XT. He offered me some money on top of it. I told him happy birthday because it matters more to me that it just fucking works instead of requiring a blood sacrifice every six weeks to not boot into a void.

Or, as Linus put it, fuck you NVIDIA.

Edit: No problems at all since I swapped the 7700 into my machine, by the way. Getting GPU drivers on my brother’s Win 11 machine was a whole task by itself. Even on Windows, getting NVIDIA drivers to work isn’t a painless experience.
