That used to be me. Now whenever someone ask me to fix their computer I'm like "no hablo windowes"

Why? So I can have more trouble? :P
Also mention that you use Arch
Pop os wolnt let me use my gpu so there's that
Every time I try Linux on my own, it's fine. But God forbid I ever use any device that comes with Linux pre-installed, and I'm cursed. I'm on my third steam deck after it software bricked itself, and our university Linux server is so unstable that it disconnects my session with vim every 30 minutes or so. Pain. At least there's a method to the madness: trust nobody but myself :P
Screen and tmux are your friends in this situation. They can keep your vim session alive when your SSH connection drops, so you can reconnect and continue where you left off.
Holy hell, three Decks? How did they get bricked? I've had mine since the second shipment batch and beyond some very early software issues it's been pretty solid.
This is the way
Windows issues?
Don't listen to the raven. Switch to BSD!
*switches back to Windows XP
*Refuses to elaborate
I said BSD not BSOD!
I've been to both of those clubs and man was I disappointed.
Seriously though, I've tried to go pure linux many times since the 90s, with mixed success.
There is a lot of software in my field that I just can't get on linux, and now I have a company issued laptop. I can't even write to the USB port, let alone install an OS.
