Yeah, I remember it to which is why I basically decided to say, "Screw NVIDIA!" and basically can't be bothered with them anymore. If they can easily forget what made them popular due to a temporary gold rush...They can get buggered when the gold rush dies down. AMD is...Doing AMD things, classic not taking advantage of the situation and being cool AF. Instead, they are being weird as always. But at least we have open source drivers for their hardware so I don't find it as concerning as with NVIDIA. Intel...Well, I don't know about that one, they are being weird lately too.

Yeah, I think there is a chance for every kernel but the mainline, until the AI bubble bursts, and the technical debt gets to be so great they have to simply reset the whole damn thing to fix it. The outliers are going to be a lot healthier because they aren't being developed using AI filth, and instead people power. Carefully, at a pace that makes the most sense for the team at hand. In languages they are familiar with. There will be no perfect kernel, but there will be good to great ones based on use case.

Hmm, well, a refresher is always in order. I tend to do have an episode that leads to accidental forgetting to do the thing. I also document my stuff well enough that I know where I actually stopped in case of a long gap in-between what I was working on does happen. Maybe a good practice so that you may recall stuff in the future.

Yeah, Arch is pretty good about that...With more experience, that troubleshooting gap can shrink. I dunno, it is up to you on that one. I won't try to convince you of anything. LOL Asking people for help can be the greatest boon or bane depending on the group.

Yeah, Rap is a rare genre listen for me, the poetic element is mostly tainted with topics that don't particularly communicate interesting ideas or experiences to me, these days. Country is really only Orville Peck, as he is one of the few, that I can stand to listen to. He sings about really fascinating subject matter, that transcends the normal genre barrier for me, so this curious shork listens.
