I have no idea how you are having trouble with this. Are you using some weird disto or something bleeding edge? Like with Ubuntu, select "use proprietary drivers" and it always works. NixOS works fine too without hassle.

I agree. User is probably doing unsupported options. If they want to live on the bleeding edge, that is fine, but dont blame the hardware if something does not work.

Literally just follow the distro instructions. Even NixOS works fine.

Nvidia works just fine on Linux despite what anyone says. People are just upset because it's a closed source driver. I have used Nvidia exclusively for like decades without issue. Just purchased an RTX3090ti (upgrade from a 2060) for Ollama, InvokeAI, and ComfyUi. Plus I do a lot of gaming. All of it works right out of the box with no tweaking.

chromeos is the correct answer. It maintains itself. Also, using gdocs, gaheets, etc., you dont have to deal with backups, "lost files", etc.

if you did lspci >/dev/sdc1, you would write the output of the command to the beginning of the filesystem on that partition, thus corrupting it.

make the drive unmountable if it had a filesystem on it.

dont start with nixos. it is not friendly. Ubuntu is probably the best/easiest starter distro. that or fedora. go with the most mainstream so you have the least friction. Later you will be trying all the distros for fun.

i dont know suse, but try "dmesg" or look at /var/log/messages (or maybe /var/log/syslog)... just poke around the log directory.

I dont know what you are saying...

Not Safe For Life. Usually it is something horrific that many people never want to see... Unlike boobies.

i love my rokus. they can run plex and jellyfin without a hitch
