You really have to be a special kind of fucktard to want to become a forum moderator

ITT Linux community

this feels like my entire life

how did you know im a linux sysadmin?

>Google only findss solution to the outdated software version, which don't work on the newer releases.

>have you tried defragging your HDD?
this has never solved anything ever

We've all had the experience of trying to install wireless drivers on Linux at one point in our lives.

Then we grew up and went back to Windows and got on with our lives.

Is doing that even remotely useful nowadays?

>Forum "admin" recommends error scanning your HDD

Defragmentation is a meme unless you are still using any Windows 9x or 2000 in [current year].

this is why I stopped using lunux as a desktop OS. I now have windows 10 as my main OS without whole disk encryption or anything fancy. I do all my development in ubuntu VMs whose state is archived and mirrored to redundant SSD drives and SATAs for longer-term storage. If I ever fuck up the lunux install I just revert to an old copy. It saves having to read shitty piss poor documentation and adds years back to my life span

Why are forum admins such morons?

most of the time it's literally some dumb fuck who never realized the thread died years ago and they are tacking on a long dead discussion with a reply that added literally nothing of value.

of course if it was something important or relevant then no one would mind a necro bump

WHAT IS THIS WIZARDRY.

I remember once I had a problem and some guy on a forum said he also had it and fixed it by disabling the DVD drive in the BIOS. Off course I thought that was bullshit but was so desperate that I gave it a try. It fucking worked.

you're on it right now

Nvm fixed it. PM`ed you the answer. 6 years ago. Consider hacking the forum to see the PM.

Oh god, this. This sort of shit always instantly reminds me why I never use traditional forums these days.

i've literally not had a problem with linux i couldn't solve with manpages/arch wiki

People used to use the same trick for fixing an RROD'd Xbox 360. You are melting a small amount of solder and causing it to resolder whatever connection has come loose. It doesn't always work, but sometimes it does.

>of course if it was something important or relevant then no one would mind a necro bump

I don't actually care since forums are disposable to me.

I hate to say this, usually reddit has the best responses for problems.

I am in physical pain and having flashbacks reading this thread

I've never had any problems with wireless drivers.

Oh, wow! Thank you so much for this, Anon19983. This actually did solve my problem. Again, thank you!

PMed you the solution.

You have peoples on the internet who get zero(0) recognition, fun points or other bullshit who just want to call you a faggot and help you with your problem, try using that general if you care about your blood pressure.

>actually PMs me the solution shortly after AND it works

Usually only for anything post 2010. Anything before then is doing dung diving in hopes of finding a diamond.

Fortunately, as I get better as computers, my need to search for obscure stuff has decreased drastically. Most of the time, the only reason you want to do stuff like this is for old games/programs that were broken to hell. Sometimes, hex editing helps out for idiotic start issues and weird requirements, but yeah, good luck finding old patches.

Really makes you think.

Why is this a thing forum users do? Why would anyone bother pming someone a solution when they already have the thread open?

It's scary how often this works.

PM'd you the answer ;)

Because they don't care about you enough to put effort in

It's so they can feel superior to the lesser forum members who don't know the solution, and ensuring others will keep asking them for the solution because without the attention they might realise just how patethic their existence really is.

What the fuck. Do I seriously need to go out and find a backup keyboard and mouse just to MAYBE see if that's the actual problem?
