Had the strangest experience with Fedora this week. Steam was refusing to launch on CachyOS (seems I’m not alone in having that issue), so I decided to install Fedora on a separate drive and set it up there. Everything set up, working beautifully, turn computer to sleep mode and go out for a few hours. Come home, it refuses to wake up properly. Just a black screen. I decide to do a hard reset, then everything just stops working. Nvidia drivers fail, network drivers fail, everything. Even rescue mode fails. I’m puzzled.
This is what I call “mom did this”. I can set up a computer, use it myself for months, set up the same computer 2 more times and give one to my brother and each of my parents. Mom will somehow have problems that don’t exist and can’t be replicated and cant be fixed. Immutable/atomic becomes a thing then I’m thinking oh hell yeah no more weird problems. And it sure worked for everyone except mom. After logging in it loads the wallpaper then nothing else happens. Can’t switch to terminal, nothing seems wrong using a live image to diagnose. Swapping hard drives with identical hardware and neither has an issue for a while then mom’s goes bonkers again even if I give her the pc and a drive that originally had no issues. Actual how the fuck. Anyway mom uses alpine now and for whatever reason that hasn’t fallen apart in her hands.
