Oh that isn't smoke, it's steam! Steam from the steamy shower I was just having!

Nice to know about the clock fix, I'll give that a try. I've actually done the bluetooth pairing method before but the problem is it's a pretty fragile fix - sometimes it just stops working and then I've got to go through the whole process again. Easier to just re-pair whenever I switch OSes

I do this every day and the only problems I have is that it throws off Windows' system clock (requiring a manual re-sync) and I have to re-pair my bluetooth headphones every time

Don't worry boys, we're going to give that Hannibal a thrashing and be home in time for garum

In and out, quick five minutes skirmish

So absurd. My i5-6600K apparently didn't make the cut either. Sure it's almost 10 years old now but it runs W10 just fine. Thank god for Linux Mint.

He was actually being too optimistic, how depressing

My workplace disabled extensions today,

This gives me cold sweats

Same thing happened to me! I was on Ubuntu, trying to replace pulse and when it got removed instantly kicked me to the terminal. Eventually I fixed it but now I also just Mint, lol

A few years ago I was having obscure audio problems on Ubuntu so I tried replacing pulseaudio with pipewire. I was feeling pretty cocky with using the package manager so I tried

sudo apt install pipewire

Installed successfully, realized nothing changed, figured maybe I had to get rid of pulseaudio to make it stick.

sudo apt remove pulseaudio

Just two commands. Instant black screen, PC reboots into the terminal interface. No GUI. Rebooting again just brings me back to the terminal.

I fixed it eventually, but I'm really not very computer literate despite using Linux, so I was sweating bullets for a minute that I might have bricked it irreversibly or something.
