Gonna ask if anybody has a similar experience, cause I'm basically desperate to get AA working reliably at this point. No matter the cable, phone or wireless dongle, connection will drop randomly. AA disconnects, and it reconnects, usually in seconds, sometimes in minutes. No specific trigger, no real pattern. Sometimes it's gonna work for 45 minutes and drop once. Sometimes it'll disconnect every 5 minutes while I'm trying to navigate in an area I don't know. CarPlay, on the same USB port on my stock Hyundai head unit, works flawlessly.

Moving into a building with only 1 choice sucks and should probably not be allowed if it's a contracted thing.

It's what we get for still treating the Internet like a commodity in 2023. At this point, it's pretty laughable to try and make the argument that it's not a utility.

Wildly varies based on your specific health profile, and above all, what kind of specialist.

I use Mint, PopOS, or Arch/EndeavourOS more or less interchangeably. I've sincerely never had any issues with Arch's stability. The term "stable" when describing a distro refers more to the package versions than system stability or overall reliability. Things aren't necessarily broken cause they're more up to date. Back in 2020, my laptop didn't play well with Ubuntu 20.04 because of some power management issue caused by a kernel bug. My only real option was getting off of LTS and switching to 20.10 which had a newer fixed kernel version. So in effect, the Ubuntu LTS was less "stable" for me because of them keeping the kernel version stable.

YMMV, obviously, but most of what I'm doing when doing a fresh install is installing the packages I need, and configuring them. I can do this pretty much regardless of the distro. Most of the difference is if those packages are available in the first place, and how I'll have to install them if they aren't in the base repositories. Configs/dotfiles are usually pretty portable. The rest is just well... Linux as usual.

Has to be Manjaro or EndeavourOS. If they're just getting their teeth in, my guess is on the former.

I mean, you do have it codified in your Constitution as its very first amendment. Now, how much is it really protected, in practice...

That's still quite massive for a driver based fix alone.
