for some reason people in the comments got really triggered bc of this meme... i was just saying that when my screen flickers i need to update my Nvidia rtx drivers and the FNAF 3 screen looks kind of like a terminal

How it feels to reboot after a driver update in Linux:

Wait that's a thing? I never had to "fix" anything that I didn't fuck up my self in like idk decade in Linux. I don't really do anything fancy or nifty just games and the web. Upgraded and didn't think about it.

    Linux is notorious for breaking audio after updating / rebooting. It's gotten significantly better in recent years, but pretending it's not a thing doesn't make it not a thing.

    Huh? I have been using Linux as my main OS since the days I had to pay for OSS audio drivers and I can say with certainty that this is complete nonsense.

    It was, in fact, a thing as recently as 2010. I know because I remember having to delete PulseAudio's config after every second boot on Ubuntu 10.04 otherwise I wouldn't have any audio. You were spared from the worst, be thankful for that.

    I've only remember ever having audio dissappear during the really early Ubuntu days (We are talking like version 7 or 8). Now if you told me Linux has issues with audio crackling due to apps requesting absurd audio parameters, then yeah, that was a more recent and persistent issue that only recently seems to have gone away.

    I wish everyone could live in the perfect bubble you've built, but out here in reality it's pretty well known problem.

    Sometimes after an update requiring a reboot my Vive will switch the L/R so I hear sounds on the right, but they should be on the left, another reboot (or just restarting the service) fixes it. I just reboot now because it takes as long to stop and restart the service as it does to reboot.
