I've taken the old work laptop home and I thought I'd try Bazzite on it. Apparently Fedora based distros don't play well with Dell so if I still can't get it to work I might try PopOS instead. Failing that, Mint Debian edition.
Have you tried running Blorkfoot with a third party Fuggleslap interface?
Yeah I've got no idea what you're talking about π
What a noob. Don't you know that Fuggleslap firmware won't grind with Blorkfoot cantilevered architecture because the pit sequence is base-eleven? Smdh don't know what they teach in schools these days.
I'm a bit older and grew up with Grangle 2.3 (no idea what they where smoking with the alpha release). Very different these days.
pfft, there wasn't even grangle 1.0 when I started
Truly the darkest of ages
I was there MeanElevator , I was there 3000 years ago at the invention of dns before there were search engines
I don't know a single tech word you wrote other than dell
It's the fun world of tinkering with Linux. It actually makes computers interesting again, I'm always on the lookout for old gear to put it on and playing with different versions now.
Why?
That's what the IT guy at work said. It feels odd given Dells are work computers mostly. There seems to be a GNU bash issue both times I've flashed it onto the thumb drive so I'm not sure if it's the laptop or the media at this point.
Why bazza? I thought that was a gaming distro? I was gonna try it on my gaming pc when w10 shits itself.
It does have a graphics card, and I want to check it out somewhere. I've got a gaming PC with w10 at the moment too, so this will be a good test run before I decide on a setup for the rig
