The way they are standing there… Watching birds. Just brings my blood to a boil.

I hate those birdwatching fucks.

Not everything is about you.

selective perception?

Words

Tell him. If it comes from the good kid he must think there is some truth to it.

Of course I did. I just didn’t made the connection that they where the reason for me not getting into bios.

I had the same problem on my laptop not being able to get into the bios. Turns out the reason is that the f-keys (f-1 to f-12) where not registered as such on boot.

They are also the keys for volume and brightness etc. So when I pressed f-11 on boot it registered it as “Brightness up” and not “f-11”.

The solution was to press “fn” + “f-11”. Then it registered as the correct key.

You have the option to toggle the default on that. So that you press f-11 and it registers it as such and “brightness up” is “fn” + "f-11).

For me that toggle was “fn” + “esc”. There also was a lock symbol on ESC so if ESC doesn’t work search for the key which has a lock on it.

That toggle was also an option in the bios.

So yeah, wasted an embarrassing amount of time figuring that out.

You learn by using it.

Which means you want to do something on Linux. You don’t know how to do it, then you ask or search for the answer and then you know.

Just be patient and it will come naturally.

That is not how it works. You have to proof your claim. If you want to be taken serious at least.

“You see Timmy? Everything is possible if you just believe put in the fucking work!”

I had the same problem when I started to look into Linux distros. Nevermind, I have the same problem in generell. With bandnames, songnames, appnames, packagenames, you name it.

I run with Debian at first because it sounded better than Ubuntu and the logo reminded me of the zerg from StarCraft.

Then I tried a bunch of others, you know how it is, and landet on fedora. Hated the name, still do, but it was the first distro where everything worked. So I’ve been sticking to it since.

My airgap stinks.

It has some strong SovCit vibes.

We all do.

How do I find out where to look?

I don’t. I try to migrate over to Linux and the there is the Paketmanager which has a GUI. I guess you could do the same with the store?

The conversation moved on from that old fart to a broader point of not dismissing a person on behalf of their political views.

I gave an example of a view which is ground for such dismissal so your question is wrong because it isn’t about that specific women anymore.

Is that so? I can remember a option on install to download proprietary stuff. I think that means codecs?

I am not saying that you are wrong just asking if you are sure.
