xAcid9 reacted to Spindel in What song are you listening to right now.
In reality I'm way to old to listen to this band but I discovered them about 2 weeks ago and it's the first time since I was 15 years old (I'm past 40) that I found music that to me is fresh and different and the "best band ever".
Their genre jumps are wild and just this one song does not do this band justice even if this song in it self is multi-genre

Bypass it. Open Command Prompt with Shift + F10. Then type
oobe\bypassnro It will reboot and you can skip the network page after that.

xAcid9 reacted to 191x7 in Front and rear audio jack are not separate
Most Realtek integrated soundcards have the option to split the front from the rear somewhere in the control center.

xAcid9 reacted to Biohazard777 in Which is more stable Manjaro or Arch?
So, ~2 years and 8 months
And this is one of many PCs I've got Manjaro running on.
I also submit to AUR...
Anyhow:
- Number of times I had to use timeshift: 0
- Number of times the system was nuked: 0
- Number of times I encoundered a confilt: 3 (out of which use of AUR was to blame: 0)
Each time it was easily fixed because I don't update on day 1, and I check the Manjaro forums.
Funnily enough last time it wasn't related to Manjaro or the AUR, but Arch iteself:
https://archlinux.org/news/incoming-changes-in-jdk-jre-21-packages-may-require-manual-intervention/
Sure there is.
Before installing anything make sure you are up-to date (which applies to all Linux distros).
As for Manjaro your update procedure should look like this:
- (Optional, but recommended) Make a Timeshift snapshot
- Make sure AUR -> Check for updates is disbaled
- Update Manjaro
- Enable AUR -> Check for updates
- Update your AUR packages
- Disable AUR -> Check for updates
Done
Regardless if you are using Arch or a distro based on Arch you should check pkgbuild before installing/updating an AUR package.
Since it is community maintained you should not trust it. Check if it is downloading what it should be downloading (source), and generaly what it is doing to your system.
Which brings me to:
If you don't know what you are doing, no distro is a safe pick.
Heck, we've seen Linus delete his DE... on PopOS 😄
And if you do mess it up, so what?
You should have a decent backup plan regardless of the OS.
You might end up spending a few hours unscrewing whatever you screwed up,
but at the end of the day you will come out knowing more than you've known before.

xAcid9 reacted to Sauron in I think of giving Linux one last chance help would be appreciated
support for 10 ends in almost exactly 19 months.
There's no sugar coating this, even if you can get all of this to run it will not run as well as on Windows. If all your main use cases require Windows only software then your Linux experience will inevitably be sub par. HDR support in Linux is mostly absent with the exception of some very experimental implementations in specific desktop environments; don't count on it ever working.
If you really want to quit windows and have a decent experience you should look into which Linux native software you could use instead of these programs. Wine, proton etc. should be seen as crutches to run a couple of programs or games that aren't available for Linux, not the main use case.

xAcid9 got a reaction from kirashi in Windows 11 asking for internet
Skip it, your ethernet driver probably missing.
Press Shift + F10, that will open Command Prompt. Then type this
oobe\bypassnro press Enter and it will reboot.
It won't ask you to sign in anymore.
