    This. This exactly. I'm wanting to teach my kids how to use Linux and first I want them to get used to it so I'm exposing them to computers through gCompris... So one of the features of the software stops working I don't know why I uninstall it I reinstall it. Same problem. So now I've got to go figure out what's wrong with the OS itself that's causing that problem in the software or just reinstall it, the OS that is, because that'll only take a few minutes to kick off and I can just leave it alone and it'll finish whereas the OS troubleshooting could take days or it could be something I never figure out.

    Not to mention wrapping wifi drivers... ๐Ÿ˜ญ

    For fun, I once decided I'd figure it out. I was doing a job where I had free time at work and there was spare hardware sitting around so I decided to go ahead and do it.

    PAIN. So painful.

    I love Linux, but I like to work on whatever I want to work on, not what the OS decides I need to work on that day.

    I was hacking together older hardware,but yes. Also it was a while ago.

    [โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

    That must've been really really old hardware.

    I think so. Just pieces parts sitting around at work.
