Everything here is designed to look like a late 2000's - or early 2010's Linux desktop since that was the last time you could still feel - 90's era optimism about technology (or the future in general). -<br> -</p> - -<p> - In current year it's impossible to feel anything but disgust and disappointment - over the state of technology. Social media has enabled conformism in a way - never before thought possible. Every electronic device is a government surveillance - machine. Unix is <span class="underline">still</span> using X11.

Being a Linux user for - many years I thought it would be pretty easy to diagnose and fix the issue, especially - since my friend is a Linux noob and so would most likely have a stock, unconfigured install. -</p> - -<p> - To make this post brief I'll just say that debugging the system took hours because - of various annoyances and bizzare idiosyncrasies. There was no boot output because the - Linux kernel is called with "quiet" option. This one is baffling to me because there's - no downside to seeing the kernel's boot messages but every distro turns them off by - default these days. I guess they're afraid of scaring the normies. -</p> - -<p> - Also the Linux kernel and Nvidia drivers are managed seperately from other packages. - This I'm pretty sure caused the problem in the first place. Something nvidia related - got updated but the driver did not. This caused a black screen, but the system kept - trying to restart X over and over, so not even switching to a different TTY worked. - We were able to fix the problem by getting Linux to use the free noveau drivers via - GRUB. From there, we were able to fix Manjaro's package issues. -</p> - -<p> - Manjaro's bizzare way of managing the kernel has casued me problems as well. Years ago, - when trying manjaro for the first time, my system became unbootable because my kernel was - updated but Linux-Firmware was not... very normie friendly! -</p> - diff --git a/software.html b/software.html
