  • Might be a bit late of a reply, but I was able to install the Broadcom drivers super easy on my 2013 MBP. I know, different laptop, but same driver.

    After installing Manjaro, KDE Neon, and Kubuntu, here’s what I did:

    I paired it with my phone and shared my internet connection, then downloaded the Broadcom driver in the repo. Done!

    I also installed Aurora (Fedora immutable distro) on it, and the Broadcom drivers were already installed, so it just worked, but every time my laptop went to sleep it crashed and I had to hold the power button to start it, so I gave up on that and installed Neon

    I’ve had several machines that refuse to update because of error 0x<insert hex number here>.

    In fact, one of my kids has that happening right now.

    At least that part is not isolated to OP. It doesn’t happen to me anymore since I switched to Linux about a year ago









  • First time hearing about Universal Blue, but I have heard of Bazzite before.

    I’m drumming up the courage to replace my Manjaro install with Aurora, and replace my Mint desktop with Bazzite+developer tools.

    Is it easy/possible to install the Bazzite tweaks on top of Aurora?

    Also, my desktop has an Nvidia card… should I expect problems?






  • Tesla driver here.

    When I first heard the announcement that they were going vision-only, I thought ah shit they’re boned.

    I replied on maybe a Reddit thread (?) that there was no way it’ll work up north in any kind of snowy conditions, and people called me an idiot etc

    Fast forward a few years later, when I got to experience it first hand. Anytime I drive the car at night, warnings pop up on the screen like “front left camera is blocked or blinded” Cue Surprised Pikachu. In the snow, sometimes it can’t even detect a road.

    I tried the free trial of FSD and, while it’s a neat gimmick, I think I was able to make maybe one or two short trips (2km) without needing to disengage it.

    It was really bad
