I just moved from Windows to Linux (more in concrete, Arch Linux)Trying to make the MT7902 work was a chaos. I moved from LMDE7 to Debian 13, to Arch LinuxGoodbye Windows 11, hello LinuxAn advice for all those who want to get into Linux (like me): do NEVER EVER pick ubuntu (that's trash, almost like a "Windows for Linux")
Yes, it's Arch (DE is Cinnamon)
nice blog, spic
>>109144951Arch is good. Annoying security, but effective. Just disable and never use any updates or package managers other than stable releases.
>>109144963kill yourself faggot >>109144951good job op
>>109144951You are finally free from Microshit
>>109144951Anything with SystemD (Arch included) is trash "Windows for Linux", sorry.
>>109144951The wifi card you mentioned should be in 7.1, there's already experemental support for it in the kernel.
>>109145038I called Ubuntu "Windows for Linux" in terms of privacy
>>109144951>Trying to make the MT7902 work was a chaos>NEVER EVER pick ubuntuAll you needed was a newer kernel desu.
>>109145056SystemD is laying the groundwork for age verification.Unless you rip it out you will have zero privacy.
>>109145059that + have cloned a repo which offers compatibility from 6.14 so on. WIsh I knew it while I was on Debian 13 (tho hey, Arch is also good)
>>109145072For next time, you can get a newer kernel from trixie-backportshttps://packages.debian.org/trixie-backports/kernel/linux-image-amd64
>>109145056name one thing wrong with ubuntu privacy
>>109145088You have to sign in for security updates. Not even Windows does that.
>>109145095so if i ran sudo apt upgrade then it wouldn't update things unless i logged into something?
sudo apt upgrade
Seeing Cinnamon on anything but Linux Mint feels off. But I kinda like it...
>>109145108It would update things. But you wouldn't have all update sources available to you. When you sign in, it adds additional update sources.
>>109145121i think the public ones are good enough for me. i only care about the maintainers for my software being allowed to push security fixes to me
>>109145059Not to defend canonical, but they have a hardware enablement kernel track (HWE), which ships newer kernels.
>>109145095This is wrong, you get security updates on the main repo for free for 5 years just like debian.The ubuntu pro sub adds security uodates to the universe repo and extends the support for 15 years. Both these things aren't offered by either debian nor rhel.
>>109145152That's not how distros work. But suit yourself. Pretty sure APT on Ubuntu will tell you what security updates you are missing, btw.
>>109145095RHEL does that. Odd behavior.
>>109145159Yeah but I don't think that was OP's problem with Ubuntu.
>>109145164Yeah, and most users end up installing stuff from universe which ends up unpatched.
>>109145176Corpos gonna corp, I guess.
>>109144951Debian SID would have worked. When arch shits itself in a few days, switch to Debian and enable sid, sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade upgrade -y, and your WiFi will work.
>>109145173>That's not how distros workwhy not? maintainers are usually quick to package the latest versions of software into my apt repositories
>>109145197Sorry I misread "maintainers" as upstream publishers. You are generally right but on Ubuntu it's up to Universe maintainers to patch stuff. The thing is, there are often patches available in Ubuntu Pro that the Universe maintainers didn't bother providing.
>>109145190Compliance tracking and enterprise support. They’re distributions specifically for corporations. They don’t stop you from using them for free at home, but, they’re contracted oses. (You) don’t matter to them at all.
>>109144951>do NEVER EVER pick ubuntunonsense desu
>>109144951THANK YOU SAAAARRR!!!!
>>109145179I do neither like that Ubuntu requests high specs. Heard it asks for 6 GB RAM now. Not even Windows 11
>>109144951SHUT THE FUCK UP TECHVEGAN
>>109144951and here begins OPs distrohopping and ricing arc. pick Ubuntu or fedora if you value your time.
>>109145612All because of that dam chip. But dw, i'm ok with Arch (Arch with Cinnamon, what else do u want?)
>>109144951don't use AURdon't waste time ricing
