for some reason people in the comments got really triggered bc of this meme... i was just saying that when my screen flickers i need to update my Nvidia rtx drivers and the FNAF 3 screen looks kind of like a terminal
I haven't had a failed kernel update in years. Used to happen very occasionally with nvidia drivers, but honestly haven't hit it in ages even with nvidia drivers.
Is this some joke I have too many known-good btrfs snapshots to understand?
I'll assume op is an Nvidia user since the only times I've had driver issues after an update was the few months when I still had a GTX card.
Switched to AMD and literally no issues the last 2 years.
Skill issue, non-ironically.
This gels like it was made by a windows user
Using linux makes you forget that drivers are even a thing.
I think OP misspelled Winslop
Wait that's a thing? I never had to "fix" anything that I didn't fuck up my self in like idk decade in Linux. I don't really do anything fancy or nifty just games and the web. Upgraded and didn't think about it.
Usually I only remember to restart after an update because my USB drives stop working :D
Literally doesn't happen to anyone using normal hardware.
a driver update? whats that?
Ahem... nix fixes that
Can't say I've experienced that. Is this one of those Arch things?
Ah, Nvidia. That explains it. Its really easy to screw that one up.
This update is weird, did they put AI in my kernel?
(we got a new GEMINI episode before GTA 6)
For small updates, I typically don't reboot. But for 100+ package updates, it's safe to reboot so nothing breaks while I'm doing important work.
With bazzite you reboot, select the previous image, and be on your way.
spotted the Nvidia GTX user.
The only system updates that ever went wrong on my Nobara were borked because i ran out of space on /boot.
On a sidenote: seriously, why did Nobara 40 / Fedora 40 create the boot partition with a default size of 1GB? With Nvidia drivers this is not even enough for more than the rescue environment, the last 2 good configs and the new update, while also not limiting the amount of old configs to a sane amount. Can't even resize the partition outside of nuking the whole drive. Nowadays you can save space by not putting nvidia stuff on /boot as long as you are not using LUKS, but ...
