Anything which is open in a window on my Linux laptop must be inherently considered a soap bubble unless saved!! It's like using a dang iPhone 3
Ddriusan@doomscroller.socialNov 9, 2026, 4:57 PM@mcc@mastodon.social OTOH causation is causation- Nov 9, 2026, 4:58 PM
@driusan It is *possible* that the AMD chipset this laptop has is, and always has been, a lemon
XavianFoxXavianFox@hear-me.socialNov 9, 2026, 5:23 PM@mcc absolutely, tho I haven't been experiencing it as much, since I am still on the LTS 6.18 kernel.
Davidsquirrelnuts@mastodon.socialNov 9, 2026, 5:26 PM@mcc my Linux vm is working fine today. Just used it a few hours ago with no issues. Has been fully updated and upgraded over the weekend.

@squirrelnuts The problems I have been having largely concern hardware support. It seems to me using a VM sidesteps those questions. What you're really saying is Windows or MacOS or whatever OS you're really using is rock solid

eclexictheeclecticdyslexic@mstdn.socialNov 9, 2026, 7:39 PM@mcc my desktop has remained largely in the same state, but I have basically the last set of common "new" hardware. (One generation behind right before all of this madness started.)
