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 think about switching to Linux full time instead of just a VM where i pirate, then someone says a basic device doesnt function and i realize im good. i work in IT and i already troubleshoot shit all day, im not doing that at night if i can avoid it.

      Linux has zero problems with basic devices. If you’re using some freaky niche hardware that relies on its own proprietary Windows-only software just to work (like the keyboard in question), then you may run into issues.

      This is an issue (probably a firmware problem) with that keyboard, not Linux. Someone in this thread said there are review saying it happens on MacOS too, even though the keyboard officially “supports” it.
