I bought an Xbox One to play D3. Nobody else did and then the rest of the episodes got cancelled.
I bought a System76 laptop once. Poop_OS! was fucking awful and when I owned it their updating application especially was and had been left buggy and broken for years. So I put Fedora on it instead which then stopped working shortly after. The kernel just wouldn't load past a certain version and I gave up waiting for a fix and just e-wasted that miserable piece of shit with tinny speakers and bruise inflicting pointy metal casing. I have no faith these guys can make Cosmic not blow ass when they struggled to make a basic update GUI function for YEARS.
you had a bad time with two distros and you binned a machine? holy moly
When one of those distros is from the manufacturer that's certainly not a good sign.
I only posted regret not timeline...could've written that better. It was 2020 (AMD 4700U) and was used until 2026 but spent the last two years in the garage running an OBD-1 diagnosis program for an old truck and playing music over bluetooth. It just stayed on outdated kernel until it got replaced. Steam Deck replaced its original purpose. A mini PC replaced it in the garage this year.
