OK but how do English speakers say Kochwäsche?

That’s just plastic’s old age.

I remember how the really old ones retain smells.

Considering many years have passed I don’t think it’s necessary to use a cutting edge distro anymore, but the reddit thread says something about having to update the BIOS to the latest version.

Nice, that looks pretty obvious.

In addition to the other reply, you should search around your distro* having problems with (certain) AMD gpus; maybe all you need is a backported kernel.

* I don’t think you ever mentioned. If it’s Ubuntu-based, search for Ubuntu.

Since you specifically mention qtile you should undo your customizations and see if that fixes your problem?

If not, you should look at the journal after reboot:

journalctl -b

But you’ll need to filter it.

Try journalctl -b | grep -v rtkit-daemon, which will remove the masses of entries you bemoaned in another comment (AFAICS all syslog entries should also be in the journal anyhow).

Very important:
Please make note of when the problem happened, and if your journal entries even go that far in time.

Great article, but you could’ve gone deeper into the modern ramifications. I feel you cut that short, just after mentioning the Zuckerborg - there would have been so much more to get into.

You should also have clarified that you’re talking about Linux as a consumer device OS; most of the internet and probably some social media giants run Linux or UNIX-like OSs, too.

And that Linux is not equivalent to FOSS, nor is the EFF.

And a link to that article you’re refering to.
