My nvidia drivers used to break sometimes but I just switched to dkms drivers and I have had a stable experience for years. Only downside is the upgrade takes a bit longer.

I have replaced it and it just clipped in and out of a round little thing it sits in. I happened to have the right battery on hand.

I’ll make sure to replace the CMOS and use disk encryption next time. My sensitive data is encrypted separately so I’ll be fine for now. I thought that with a bios password someone couldn’t just boot from a USB on my system but clearly it only delays such actions by a minute or two.

You’re totally right, it only makes sense. Maybe my brain needs its battery replaced as well.

Thank you, that makes sense. I guess it was almost dead and now it is really dead. I don’t understand how that makes Linux freak out over the login password though.

He has a very large audience of regular people so if he promotes Linux, free software and privacy then this is a very good thing. The community wants adoption but as soon as regular people try their hand at it there is always something to complain about. We’ll never get anywhere with behaviour like this. Wider adaption means that many people you don’t like will participate as well. I haven’t seen this video though so I don’t know if he does a good job or not.
