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

    its very strange, in linux it never gives me the “usb disconnected message” and all the led lights stay on, it just stops responding

    • Seeing complaints of the same issue on macos too even though it is explicitly marketed as supporting it.

      Supposedly this keyboard supports PS/2 so you could plug it in with a usb-PS/2 adapter if your PC has a PS/2 port and that should fix that problem but you’ll lose your rgb or whatever.

      As others have said this is probably some enshittification from the manufacturer. Software control center… it’s a fucking keyboard… also a lithium battery… why… keyboards can last decades even wireless ones using AA batteries… this thing is destined to be ewaste.

      welcome to linux. only now can your hatred be pure.
