Chesterwick Milorganite Hoan the Fourth (no relation)
I tried doing a TimeShift restore last week for another software issue, and nvidia drivers crapped the bed (again). Decided it was time to bite the bullet and swapped out my 1080 Ti with a 7700 XT. Did a clean install of Manjaro, and it was eerie how simple it was to get everything including Wayland to work. Should’ve done it two years ago.
Command line stupidity, not Bad Dragon stupidity.
I just hated that Windows had become a privacy cesspit and I wasn’t afraid of breaking things in Linux. Also, I accept that sometimes you just have to format and reinstall your sins of stupidity away.
PS - You Lemmy bastards did get me into Star Trek though. Maybe it has begun…

Time to test out that 8 year old thermal paste!
A heads up if you have a G-Sync monitor from that same era: it may not do variable rate with Freesync. I was ready to pull the trigger and upgrade my 1080 Ti to an AMD card when I caught that detail. So now I need to justify the cost of a new main monitor as well if I want to have smooth variable refresh. Good luck!
This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco, this ain’t no foolin’ around.
