An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I got my dead internal display to work with an external display on mirrored mode, and I got it to reliably boot past Apple‘s incredibly finicky AMD graphics drivers.

I ordered a bottle of Jim Beam, and I’m going to bed. I’m fucking exhausted.

If anyone wants to offer further advice, go ahead, but any Apple bashing will be firmly ignored because I just don’t have it in me to take it

No no no, you misunderstand

I would not have spent this fucking long and this much effort working on getting it installed on this machine if I didn’t think Linux was worth it.

But I also highly value Apple hardware, especially the older stuff

Edit: I have about 15 years experience with Debian based distributions, and have a little bit of experience with red hat based distro. But diving in with fedora at this level will be new for me. An adventure! And on especially bitchy hardware!

I’m going to drink a bottle of bourbon tonight, and figure this out tomorrow, lol

Edit 2: i’m watching Star Trek two wrath of Khan in 4K with my cat. I encouraged the rest of you to do the same. Happy memorial day weekend 😊

I'll be by later today to pick up your cat, so I can watch The Wrath of Khan with it, as you have encouraged. 😉
