Oof

A few on this machine, mostly the usual “plug-n-play” suspects: openSUSE, Ubuntu, Mint, etc. I’ve narrowed it down to needing a specific driver which will have to be installed after the install, but I don’t have an extra thumb drive for it since the one external drive I do have will have the os on it, and I just haven’t been arsed to make it work on a single drive by modifying the partition to add a second one and put the driver there. It’s just a pain in the ass.

Yeah, mine was a pain in the ass. Haven’t sorted it yet. Must be a different chip set.

I usually pick usernames and email addresses with diceware. Unless I’ve got a zinger in mind like with the propter hog one.

Zypper is by far the best package manager available, providing atomic and reversible updates, and their open build service makes reproducible builds. Those two are by far the best things about openSUSE. It’s not without its faults, which is why I have switched away at times, but I always come back after using the crap available in other distros.

openSUSE is the best os in general, in my experience. I’ve kept coming back to it time and again for decades.
