I’d wanted to jump to Linux since the 90s, but it was never quite there for me, plus my day jerb requires me to be on Windows. I finally started ripping the band-aid off a couple years ago and it’s been amazing. I received a private message in response to a long-running issue I was having with my dGPU, and that person absolutely got me squared away by suggesting I give Aurora Linux a try for use cases.
Win10 at some point stopped recognizing my beloved FiiO E10 USB headphone amp despite it supposedly being class-compliant. Nothing I did could get any Windows machine to recognize it. Today, I found that amp in a drawer. I plugged it into one of my Aurora Linux machines, and the OS immediately recognized it. Works great and gave me back the headphone sound that I know and love.
So thank you all, for this community, for your contributions, for paying forward the Linux love. Have a great day all.
that logic was my exact reasoning for buying linux-first laptops and it gave me an ultra smooth sailing for almost a decade meanwhile this is how i felt learning about everyone else’s hibernate/wifi/nvidia/battery-draining problems that system76 solved for me:
imagine that this is how mac people feel. lol
