Hah, good to know that even on [email protected] there are people who agree that stack overflow moderation is too draconian to ask questions in anymore. It’s a good resource, though, so an LLM will probably be the answer to make the knowledge base more usable without angering its elder gods.

Cyrillic Х is “Kh”, Ж is “Zh”.

As much as I think that the Reddit and twitter soap operas are nothing but a time sink over what is a relatively simple cautionary tale, I can’t look away from this train wreck. “Y, elon?” is the new “fuck u/spez”.

Yea, fuck people and their layers interpersonal ulterior self-predatory bullshit, I can stare at spiders and ants… or most other animals for hours 🤓

fair enough, I had not tested any other distros, my bad.

You can search duckduckgo for Nvidia mok secure boot mint and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

“works for me”

That’s not a protip. A protip would be how you do that :D

RTX3060, I suspect this is the case for newer laptops, yes.

Me installing Linux Mint on a 2022 laptop with a Nvidia GPU (had windows 11 preinstalled, this was an alongside install). I disabled secure boot at first, but still had to go all the way back and set up my MOK keys and turn on secure boot properly with another password to unlock the GPU.

You can’t disable secure boot if you want to use your Nvidia GPU :( though. [edit2: turns out this is a linux mint thing, not the case in Debian or Fedora]

Edit: fine, there may be workarounds and for other distros everything is awesome, but in mint and possibly Ubuntu and Debian for a laptop 2022 RTX3060 you need to set up your MOK keys in secure mode to be able to install the Nvidia drivers, outside secure mode the GPU is simply locked. I wasn’t even complaining, there is a way to get it working, so that’s fine by me. No need to tell me that I was imagining things.

All hail Emacs :) 🙌

If you can actually write in the command line (this happened to me too, but I couldn’t actually log in to use the command line), try the command startx to start the graphical environment…or whatever is the equivalent command for the environment you installed.

Welp, I guess I only have 3 videos left on youtube then, it was a good run. Then it’s off to invidious and when that goes, probably peertube will have enough content :)
