Follow-up from “Dumbest Thing you have done distro-hopping?”.
Here’s mine - the laptop from which I’m typing right now has a broken touchpad that keeps jumping and clicking randomly, and does not work. Well, I can’t afford to fix it, but at the moment, I was so pissed off I punched the touchpad really hard, and the machine panicked with all the lights blinking. A few more revival abuses, and the machine was back to life, but since I was running a nixos-rebuild switch --upgrade
in the background, I blew off my boot partition. I think I just broke the unbreakable distro.
if you use nvidia-dkms its alot easier than trying to use the normal ones, just make sure you have dkms and linux-firmware installed too
Thanks for the tip, will have to look into using it…
