My wifi card just stops working after a resume from suspend. I cannot get it to come back after resume. After some time fucking with it, I just turned off suspend. And turned on close lid = power down. EZ.

Sounds familiar
Yesterday I tried to format and encrypt a usb drive, accidentally encrypted the main drive and it wouldn't boot to a snapshot before that. Decided to go for EndevourOS (Arch BTW) instead of Tumbleweed because I found Tumbleweeds installer too complicated.

I just learned yesterday, that you have to switch vulkan packages (including lib32 version) if you switch to proprietary nvidia driver π only to learn that I donβt have enough RAM for cyberpunk, after it finally started..
2x16gb is on its way π₯³
Oh. Explain this one to me. Might be why I'm getting absolutely shit fps in helldivers

There's a cheat button called sudo snapper rollback in OpenSUSE, it can be had in other distros as well.
AKA the "I cooked my install" button.
por que no los dos
Refresh OS feature in popos has been a game changer for me
Classic Scylla and Charybdis. Good luck on your odyssey.
i, too, nuked my bookworm install today after fiddling with Nvidia drivers. keeping /home on its own part is such a lifehack
with great power comes great resposibility.
use sudo wisely, or not at all.

You also just work as root all the time, right?
As a gentoo user, spending hours trying to fix it is usually the better option.
You learn plenty by breaking and reinstalling. I don't considering it an invalid option for a home user. I had to reinstall MacOS7/8 and Windows 95/98 so many times as a kid. Learned a lot doing it, sysadmin now π€·ββοΈ

Real shit.
Once you learn about BRTFS snapshots you'll never have this issue again

How about NixOS where the OS automatically installs the correct software and chooses the right settings. Then you have the time fiddle on your config for hours π
It's funny seeing this like literally a couple days after I decided it would be easier to reinstall my Mint sysyem than to fix the audio issues Pipewire was causing. I'm back on PulseAudio and haven't had issues since.
I've been on Linux for about 15 years now ... I'm no pro and I've never really advanced in anything with the terminal
I tried doing stuff years ago but then I came at a crossroad ... either spend my life learning the dark arts of the terminal and all the details of how every major system works ... reinstall every time I have a new problem that I caused ... or just leave everything alone and never tweak or adjust anything.
For the past few years, I just install the latest stable version of anything I use and never bother touching or tweaking anything ... never had a problem since.

And that's exactly how I'm trying to approach everything after the reinstall. I like tinkering with my system, but after a couple months it really starts messing with everything.
Got into an argument about this once. The other person insisted that if I wipe my hard drive and reinstall, that Iβm a pathetic moron who doesnβt deserve to use a computer.
In fairness, itβs usually better to fix things so you can learn, but dang they were toxic.
To be fair, at least with Windows, if you do a reinstall I've always found that it never runs quite like it used to. I've sometimes had to deal with some weird quirks afterwards. A friend of mine who kept switching between Google Android and open-sourve Android on his phone said the same thing. Every time he reinstalled Google Android, it simply wouldn't run as well as it did beforehand.
It's like taking a plumbing pipe out and putting it back in. Or taking apart a car engine and putting it back together. It never quite fits together the way it used to anymore.
I had the opposite experience with Windows (7 up to 10), every now and then I would have to reinstall it to get some random feature working, which made the system run smoothly for a while - which checks out, considering Windows' affinity for software rot.
Then again, I increasingly debloated it as time went on, which I'd assume contributes to its instability.
It's great when you're young and have the spare time and energy on such things.
