I'm upgrading to Debian 13 instead, since 13 is bigger number than 11 so obviously it's better

[–] ohshit604@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

You’ll likely need to purge your Nvidia drivers after upgrading to 13, I had two machines fail to start NvidiaPersistence.d.service (or something like that) which caused the machines to fail on boot-up.

Reinstalled the drivers with sudo apt install nvidia-driver nvidia-cuda-dev nvidia-cuda-toolkit if you’re looking for raytracing don’t forget to install libnvoptix1.

My first pc had windows 95 and it was indeed vastly better then todays corporate shite

Remember how much people HATED Win95? They still moved to it to escape DOS, but still. Loads of hate.

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

I do, but that’s because windows 95 was a lot less stable than 3.1(1). It deserved the hate it got and wasn’t really ready until Windows 98 came out.

A good chunk of people went from 3.1(1) to 98.

Not really, the prospect of getting my own computer at all brought immense excitement and i didn’t know what words like “operating system” and “software” even meant.

I can imagine it though since i got comfortable with using the terminal, a gui feels more and more like bloat.

This is why I upgraded my Windows 10 laptop to a Fedora 42 one. 42 is obviously the biggest. And thusly better than Debian.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 9 points 5 hours ago

Just wait until you learn about Windows 2000

[–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 12 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Way ahead of you on Mint 22 or something like that

[–] TechnoCat@lemmy.ml 10 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Fedora 41 is like being decades in the future.

Arch’s version number is so large, it cannot be shown.

[–] wordmark@mas.to 3 points 8 hours ago

@ZiemekZ @Pro it has a completely new #apt (still C++) so i guess yes :D
