From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Guys, this version was released in order to fix wifi issues, obviously wifi comes from hell when it comes to making it work.

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hm, I thought Bluetooth was from hell. Or maybe spawn of Satan. Either way.

[–] LifeCoffeeGaming@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah you're thinking of printers, they come from the depths of hell, 9th or 10th ring at guess. Bluetooth is an amateur by comparison.

[–] flashgnash@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What about a WiFi enabled printer with Bluetooth support

[–] rammer@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

WiFi enabled printer with Bluetooth and DRM for print cartridges and forced advertisements with sound always on.

So what you're saying is we're already 9 layers deep in hell

Next funny number is 6.9, I'll see you there

Yesterday, my laptop would not hibernate or shut down. SystemD complained about waiting for the wifi or something.

One kernel update later, and all is well once more.

Can't be any worse than what I did to bork my Nobara install during the last update. Now half the letters on system widgets are blank lol. Might be a great time to switch distros. And get the devil's kernel.
