     @grob Yes! Newer hardware should be run with recent kernel releases!

     @itsfoss a non-memorable one. Had a bunch of issues with the display, keyboard, fan noise, standby/suspend and started researching on how to fix them, feeling all nerdy and pro.

     Then I just switched to a newer kernel version and it fixed everything. Simply a driver issue. (btw: as a linux noob, was *very* hard to find out kernel version is a thing, installing piece of cake)

     Point being: if you get a new laptop, consider installing a new kernel version, before putting in too much manual effort.

     @itsfoss Wayland + OBS on NixOS
     Still don't really know how I did it. I just eventually added enough lines to my conf.nix and the old ones smiled upon me with a working video capture

     @nikatjef The more you practice, the better you get.

     @itsfoss
     Just in the last month;
     1. Physical machine booting up, getting a valid IP address and route from DHCP but being able to ping anything on the internet.
     2. VM SSH'ing to a specific IP address but getting to a machine with a different IP address.
     3. Deleting a file (successful) but still seeing the file on the filesystem with a 6 month old timestamp.

     Been intentionally breaking things in my home lab to practice / learn new technologies. I am a human chaos monkey at times. 🤣
