Great story, but I feel I should mention that the Daily Heil does not qualify as news, due to the sheer volume of disinformation it publishes.

If I ever meet any of these bastards, they will find themselves wrapped in a tarp and buried under my house.

Wow. We could never have predicted this would happen. I am in a state of shock.

Ah, I stand corrected.

That's a good idea. Why didn't I think of that?

The boot issue is definitely hardware related. The machine doesn't even power on the display before restarting.

Three reasons for me:

  1. DNF can be kinda slow
  2. Fedora is owned by Red Hat, which is owned by IBM, which is American and also assisted the Axis powers during WWII.
  3. SELinux was created by the NSA. I know it's FOSS, but I don't feel I can trust any three-letter agency.

I never really got on with Slackware, but I might give it another shot...

I'm asking for advice.

I am looking to switch to a different Linux distribution (or BSD). I currently use openSUSE Tumbleweed, which is quite nice, but I'm having issues with my USB ports and it takes a hot second to boot up.

However, the reason I'm asking here instead of going straight to DistroWatch is that my laptop has a problem. When I turn it on, it bootloops unless it's connected to power when I press the button. As such, this distribution would need to be able to handle running for weeks on end without a reboot.

I could get this repaired or replaced, but I have neither the time nor the money to spare.

So, does anyone have any suggestions? Or should I just slap Fedora Kinoite on it and call it a day?

EDIT: I went for ~~Debian~~ FreeBSD, as well as running fwupd, and it's all working now. Thanks!

Fucking hell, Loops is RIGHT THERE!

That is an excellent point. The only snag is that I feel they aren't quite intelligent enough to think of that. Then again, maybe that's what they want us to think...

Disgusting, in my opinion.
