1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    The weird thing is that it seems to be working? Either I misdiagnosed the problem, or maybe my old one was just broken.

    And my wish is granted! This is the dawn of a new golden age for Linux memes!

    [–] recursive_recursion@piefed.ca 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    Just curious but what distro are you using?

    I might be able to help in my spare time

    [–] The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world 6 points 6 days ago (4 children)

    Pop OS. It seems to be working for now, but I think my next step if it happens again will be to just use ethernet and call it a day.

    [–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    If Ethernet is an option, then it's the best option.

    Pop OS is based on Ubuntu LTS and uses a relatively old base system as a result. Try a live ISO like https://get.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/ and check if drivers have since improved.

    I am trying to install Private Internet Access (a VPN) on my laptop after transitioning to Linux mint on it and it won't work. I downloaded the Linux version of the file from the site.

    I will get the actual message later once I boot it back up.

    This weekend I am fully ready to install Linux mint on my desktop.

    Does anyone know a good Wi-Fi 7 chipset that plays well with AMD? I saw the Qualcomm one and it looks promising, but I've heard its support for Linux is spotty.

    [–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

    Wifi 7 is not a great choice with Linux as it is very new.

    I would stick with Wifi 5 or 6

    [–] lemming741@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

    With hwe kernels, I'm generally satisfied with my Qualcomm NCM825. It might fail to come back from sleep 1 time out of 100 but that may be fixed now that I think about it.
