The best one I’ve ever heard is they like the Microsoft wallpapers. Yes i told them you can use them on linux too. But they argued with me that they wouldn’t be compatible.

    I recently bought a new computer and decided to go Linux only. And because it was a new computer, it’s bleeding edge. I got the 9950X3D, I got 64 gigs of DDR5, I got the 5090. And by all measures, it is a fantastic machine.

    That being said, getting Linux working on it flawlessly was a several day long adventure.

    The motherboard has a driver for its 5 gigabit ethernet connection and I have 10 gig in the house so I assumed that it would work flawlessly out of the box, and instead it was only working at like 100 megabits.

    The actual fix involved learning a new set of commands to modprobe in the correct driver after downloading it from the site, which was much more difficult than I feel like it needed to be.

    That being said, I’m not a Linux noob. I have used Linux in servers for a decade now, easily, and I’ve never run into quite this level of difficulty getting hardware to work correctly.

    And ultimately what I ended up doing was installing LM Studio and an abliterated AI so that I could throw all of the errors that konsole was spitting at me into the AI and let it work it out, which worked a treat once I realized I had the ability to do that.
