but at the end it is possible to solve any and all problems linux, and troubleshooting difficult cryptic errors successfully makes you feel like a very smart god
Sometimes it takes way too long though. I had a display issue that made many of my tiny Linux boxes stop working and it took me almost a month to figure out the issue. I had to revert to an older kernal to fix them all. They just randomly stopped working one day lol. Makes me not want to accept updates so that’s not great
For a given definition of ‘any’. For a while, the solution to my problem would have been to contribute code to PulseAudio and/or ALSA, which was (and still is) beyond what I could reasonably do.
