Considering many years have passed I don’t think it’s necessary to use a cutting edge distro anymore, but the reddit thread says something about having to update the BIOS to the latest version.

Yr is Norwegian, but afaics they’re pretty good with nearby countries, too. It’s a product of their metreological institute, which seems like a good option privacy-wise. Not that such institutes have to be ad or data ming free, but they usually are.

It should come on all weather apps as a sort of health warning:

DONT FORGET TO LOOK OUT THE WINDOW

I maintain that close to you geographically is better, so I use the services provided by my country’s metereological institute. They also provide human friendly data (much more than the web ui) as json or xml, and I scripted a little app around that. It’s not hard.

Nice, that looks pretty obvious.

In addition to the other reply, you should search around your distro* having problems with (certain) AMD gpus; maybe all you need is a backported kernel.

* I don’t think you ever mentioned. If it’s Ubuntu-based, search for Ubuntu.

Since you specifically mention qtile you should undo your customizations and see if that fixes your problem?

If not, you should look at the journal after reboot:

journalctl -b

But you’ll need to filter it.

Try journalctl -b | grep -v rtkit-daemon, which will remove the masses of entries you bemoaned in another comment (AFAICS all syslog entries should also be in the journal anyhow).

Very important:
Please make note of when the problem happened, and if your journal entries even go that far in time.

Great article, but you could’ve gone deeper into the modern ramifications. I feel you cut that short, just after mentioning the Zuckerborg - there would have been so much more to get into.

You should also have clarified that you’re talking about Linux as a consumer device OS; most of the internet and probably some social media giants run Linux or UNIX-like OSs, too.

And that Linux is not equivalent to FOSS, nor is the EFF.

And a link to that article you’re refering to.
