Looking at the Arch Wiki, it looks like this is a known issue. Give this solution a go:
EDIT: on closer look, it’s not much of a solution. I assume you’ve tried restarting the network service and that doesn’t work either? Possibly you could automate the airplane mode key twice by triggering that after waking from suspend…
The Epic Games that ironically has monopolised exclusive titles on their platform? That Epic Games? The same Epic Games done for violating kids privacy rights? Epic Games that makes it hard to get refunds? The Epic Games partly owned by Tencent who are known to be in bed with the CCP? That one? Epic who my be selling user data to the CCP and broke GDPR laws? And the Epic Games CEO who actively shits on Linux gamers? Are we talking about that Epic Games?
Meh, they can go to hell along with Google.
Back about two decades when I was using Windows and it was till easily customisable, I changed the bsod colour to red for funsies. Windows being Windows crashed and went to my red screen of death - my ex’s cousin saw it and thought it was something really really bad, “Wow, a red screen, never seen that before. Must be even worse than blue”. No mate, I just customise the shit out of anything I touch 😅
As an ex webdesigner/dev, Squarespace, Weebly and the like killed my income well before ChatGPT did.
About a decade ago I told my spouse I wanted to customise my PC with a perspex case and some lighting inside. He was all bleurgh, why would you want to do that?! His current PC has a glass side and rainbow lights inside.
I also stand by this claim and have since the 90s. Thank you and good day, sir.
I would just move on. Some people have a bee in their bonnet and can’t look past their own problems and see why other folks might find certain discussions useful.
Personally, when I was first looking at switching to Linux (and then through distro hopping) I found discussion like these great as I could see other people’s reasons for choosing the distro they did.
Where is that a new thing? I’ve been using Linux since early 2010s and people were using that term back then (and it wasn’t a new term then either)
I don’t really have any one stand out reason. I first introduced myself to Linux in the late 1990s, buying a Red Hat CD and phone book sized manual that at the time cost a lot, especially as I was poor student. I think one of my tutors (I as doing computer studies) said that he ran Linux and I got nerdy and curious. It sadly didn’t last long as too much of my other study was based around Windows.
Over time, Iecame to despise corporate monopolies, spying, manipulation, billion dollar advertising budgets, and turning people into products (not just Microsoft, but Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc.) more and more, so I decided it was time (early 2010s) to give Linux a go again. I’d read people saying it was more usable for gaming than it used to be. Still required giving up some games since Steam Proton wasn’t a thing yet but for me, I was making an concious choice to only support gaming that was Linux native (or games that I already owned that worked on WINE).
I distro hopped bit before settling on Mint. Used that for about 2 years and then got a new PC. Wanted to challenge myself more and went with Arch. I have enjoyed the customisation, freedom, privacy and ethically conscious choice ever since.
I wouldn’t say I’m obsessed but I certainly try and free other people from the shackles of non-floss software as much as I can.
BTW I also use Arch (and also so does my husband) 😁
Third same. Before my current PC, my old PC was a 6yo install. Never had problems that weren’t caused by me (although I could count on one hand the number of times I had issues in that 6 years).
My current install is more than 2yo trouble free.
I’ve DE hopped and fiddled with heaps of stuff in that time too.
Thanks for the explainer! Also, Google’s response is such a crock of shit.
Ghasts Gone Wild
“injured rights holders”
🙄🙄🙄🙄🤮
My first flavour was Red Hat back in the late 90s. It’s a shame I didn’t give it more of a go back then. Then Mint for a couple of years in the earlyish 2010s before finally settling on Arch where I’ve been for almost a decade now.
And Micro$oft
But the hurtful comments leave a bigger mark than the good ones
As a volunteer for a charity, I feel this so much. I work incredibly hard to help people, I get paid nothing for my time. The entitlement and rude demands burns me out way faster. Especially when people seem to put far more effort into complaining and being rude than they do thanking me or showing appreciation for what we do.
Wtf is that screenshot?! When you’re talking about user protection, it generally helps to have a relevant screenshot and not something thats going to confuse or put off users.
Meanwhile in my country (New Zealand), privacy laws are slowly being eroded and government spying and censorship is increasing.
I wish we had GDPR.
Eshittification :(
