Because changing your Linux kernel can never fuck up with say your drivers, or literally the hundreds of others things in your system, cause you know... it's THE FUCKING KERNEL, that connects to everything.

Unless you actually did troubleshooting, unless you actually have proof the issue is coming from the kernel, don't put a noob to mess with it.
He won't know what he did. He won't know how to change it back. He won't know if he needs to do it again after a reinstall. And he definitely won't know what the consequences are.

Distro devs spend a decent amount of time to choose and test the default kernel, to make sure it works out of the box for everyone. Why the fuck would you insist so fucking hard for a beginner to mess around with it when someone has an undiagnosed problem?

And have you considered for a split second, what if you're "solution" is wrong? What if it fixes nothing? What then? Are you gonna make him change pulseaudio to pipewire? What other "simple things" are you gonna have him change on a whim, without a fucking care in the world about what state that might leave his OS in?

I swear, my only conclusion is that you're a troll, that enjoys seeing beginners brick their own Linux installs out of ignorance.

"You just have to put some commands in the terminal guy, it's just as easy as Windows, I swear".

Jesus. Fucking. Christ..... No. No no no.
Maybe you've completely lost contact with reality in your "muh open source" echo chamber. Take it from someone who still experiences contact with the dreaded Microsoft Windows... NO PART of Linux install or maintenance comes close to the Windows experience.

This is the second time this week I felt tempted to go back to Windows, not because of Linux giving me problems, but because I SWEAR TO GOD THE COMMUNITY IS SO BAD SOMETIMES.

I've been using Linux for years now. I love using Linux. I would love that more people used Linux.

You know what I don't do though? I DON'T TRY TO FORCE PEOPLE INTO USING LINUX, OR HOW TO USE LINUX!
I don't push beginners into doing stuff they certainly don't understand.

Stop fucking being like this.

For fucks sake.... I swear... Linux/open-source advocates are complete dicks.

When you encounter a FUCKING NOOB, don't send them down rabbit holes. Their default distro kernel IS NOT gonna be the main cause of their issue.

Morons like you are what drives people away from Linux and open source software.

Also, which of you faggots figured out that I actually used the Chad flag 🇹🇩 and not the Romanian flag 🇷🇴 ?

I'm starting to think putting that flag up there next to my name was a mistake.

I wonder what the most overcomplicated "hello world" program looks like.

Part of all that is this modern monetary theory nonsense; the idea that you can just print money however you want and it’s not tied to any source of value. Yea that unskilled retail worker should probably be making $20/hr now to get by, but once that happens, all the skilled workers will want more and it goes up the chain. Meanwhile the billionaires aren’t cutting their wealth to curtail the problem.

We’re dangerously close to a path of hyper-inflation, and it’s likely intentional. Prepare to see new digital dollars that will be better than regular monies .. cause they’ll expire and be traced to your carbon score and all other types of dystopian bullshit.

So any news on the "Mastodon" journalists? Have they managed to find someone to write useless articles on and try to cancel?

@matrix
imagine being so bitter in life that you misinterpreted his tweet in the worst way possible because you deem your elon derangement syndrome to be way more important than his effort to get rid of CP

you know, the one thing twitter’s previous management seemed to care very little about? if at all?

bunch of disgusting cunts

I very recently learned that the term “boycott” comes from someone’s actual name: Charles Boycott. Boycott was an English land agent who tried, in 1880, to collect unpayable rents from Irish peasants on behalf of an English aristocrat landlord. When he failed to collect the rents, he tried evicting the tenants. The Irish Land League responded with a campaign to ignore Boycott’s orders and isolate him socially and economically.

They not only ignored his eviction orders and threw manure at his process servers, but refused to deliver his mail or sell him food.

It was pretty effective—the British government eventually had to deploy a thousand soldiers (naturally, because the state works for the propertied class and none more than the 19th century British state) at a cost of some £10,000 to harvest £500 worth of crops. Boycott had to be evacuated by the soldiers, who even had to drive him out, as no locals would agree to drive his carriage out of the region.

Imagine being cancelled so hard that your name becomes permanently associated with getting cancelled.

I think many people here who bemoan having "nothing to watch" because of wokeism in media nowadays are unaware at how utterly based old movies are (and they should watch them).
