Oh cool, good job waiting until AFTER the election to do this incredibly basic and easy move, everyone. Jesus fucking christ

Have you tried different distros? Some hardware is supported better by different forks. I myself have an odd situation with an old laptop that got weird Bluetooth audio issues on stock Ubuntu, but having swapped it over to mint (which is supposedly just Ubuntu under the hood!) it works flawlessly.

yeah i mean, theres no way lol. even if the tech gets here that quickly there’s 0% chance prices come down significantly on lower capacity drives. these’ll be at least $500 and possibly far far more

Yeah this seems common. I had a friend who grew up with parents who alternated between English, Portuguese, Italian, and French, and he told me he wound up not being able to speak at all until he was over 2 years old. It didn’t affect him badly later on, and he always insisted it was worth it
