i followed a “install any linux distro in 5 minutes” guide and after just 14 hours i finally have an OS that is running properly

as a long time hater i must say its very nice and i like it a lot, especially considering microsoft is hellbent on making windows the worst OS as quickly as possible. i will say, im a big nerd and this stuff comes to me pretty easily but i still think hoping normies will adopt this is kinda insane

anywho, its the year of linux or so i keep hearing

also if anyone knows why my keyboard keeps disconnecting every 30 minutes or so, i would very much like to know why. its an anne pro 2 that i am using with a wired connection

    I have had similar issues on an older motherboard. My guess is the linux pnp usb driver is more aggressive to voltage fluctuation signaling an unplug event. So an old mobo with caps that are starting to lose capacitance ends up triggering an unplug, especially if there are multiple devices on the same bus. Definitely try a USB3 slot, or a powered external hub.

      That makes a lot of sense I’ll let you know. It could also just be the model, it’s known for having strange issues. A common one for a lot of people is it just stops working when you boot up the modern counterstrike
