I genuinely find it hard to comprehend that it is adults making these decisions.

Meeting everyone's basic needs isn't even far left. This is how far the Overton window has shifted to the right. Meeting everyone's basic needs is left-of-centre. Far left would be state owned and controlled everything, redistribution of wealth via any means necessary, all public services fully state funded and free for all at the point of use.

Because the people who organised it didn't like the new financial laws being implemented by the EU. Billions of pounds worth of dodgy money is laundered through the UK every year. I can't recall the exact details but the EU were implementing laws that made money transfer more transparent. So this would have meant that all this dirty money would be traceable, and Tories didn't want this being exposed because it was their mates and families all in it up to their ears.

It's gone so well for us in the UK, I can't imagine the entire organisation being asset stripped and then held for random at the taxpayer's expense.

Well, if I'm honest I tried to install Win11 before Linux but it was such a pain in the arse I gave up. The installer couldn't pick up the SSD so I had to download drivers onto USB and install them half way through the wizard. THEN, it wouldn't pick up the WiFi card so I bypassed that to get the installer to finish, and to top it off, even after I'd installed all the drivers, it still didn't pick it up, not in the device manager, nowhere, as if it didn't exist. So I gave up. Linux installed first time and although it's not quite perfect yet it's functional enough for me to actually use the flipping thing! Haha

I've installed every Windows since 95 on various machines and never had so much trouble. Win11 is complete crap. And Microsoft are a bunch of dickheads for forcing it when there was literally nothing wrong with Win10.

Yeh, that's fixed it. Thanks. Strangely, the bugs I was experiencing lad night also seem to have resolved themselves.

And I now I use Linux. Will never go back to Windows after this nonsense.

I am glad I am not the only one

 

Hi, brand new linux noob and am having issues right off the bat.

I've just installed Garuda Dr460nized edition on my Legion laptop, fresh install (no dual boot), run the updater, installed a few apps and first thing I see is a little warning that tells me I need to merge pacdiff files and the file affected is mirrorlist.pacnew.

Do a little reading, get the general gist of what I'm supposed to do, then use the distro bundled software (Kompare) to merge all differences, save, reboot. BUT, the warning it still there, and now, when I go back into kompare, it tells me the two files are identical, plus there seem to be a bunch a graphical bugs now that weren't there before I merged the files.

Very confused as to why this file, which just seems to be a list of various website mirrors, would cause graphical issues but like I said, I'm brand new to this, but determined to learn from my mistakes.

Can anyone explain what I've done wrong? I can't seem to undo the changes now.
