Unbearable Linux issues on work laptop in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Also check your bios version. I had similar problems with usb-c and fans on HP Elitebook, they were fixed with bios upgrade.

Edit: I also had troubles waking from sleep. They were caused by wwan/lte modem, I disabled it on bios and now sleep works flawlessly.

Live Linux distro list? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

For first-time Linux users, I always recommend one of the main user friendly distributions - it is much easier to ask or look for help this way.

So, Fedora, Ubuntu or Opensuse.

Their installers all can live boot

Why bootc doesn’t require “/usr merge” in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Blog makes valid point, but why on earth there would be any current Linux distribution without usr merge?

EDIT: Especially when every major Linux distributions have already implemented usr merge long time ago.

Which distro do you find the most visually appealing? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] Goingdown@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 months ago

Hardy Heron

Ah, I really liked Ubuntu looks in old (4.04 - 8.04) versions. The brown/orange is so much better than the newer gray/purple/red whatever. Since 10.04 the theme and color scheme has been awful.

I have seen this on HP laptop with WWAN device installed. Disabled device from Bios and problem went away.
