Ugh I had to get an obscure PCIe card working a few years back and it was a huge pain. I believe I ended up having to find the broadcom chipset by model because the generic brand driver didn't support it, then the arch repos didn't have the driver for the model, and there were several aur packs available that I had to try one by one. And it was kernel module loaded, so each was a reboot.
Absolute hell of a time, probably about 5 years ago.
I've had this happen. I never did figure it out, personally. I distro hopped a bit and eventually ended up back on Arch and it didn't happen again, so I guess it was a bugged install?
Journalctl might be a great friend here.
Especially a decade ago before archinstall
These days it is comparatively easy.
Dtolney, the author for serde, has a stupid amount of libraries that fit this.
Other than serde, he owns syn, thiserror, anyhow, and async-trait.
He's practically the Atlas of the Rust ecosystem.
Jetbrains, all round. Datagrip is way faster and easier than SSMS for day to day queries, Clion does a great job in almost anything compiled, PyCharm makes it easier to manage large Python code bases over standard, the list goes on. Their software is expensive, but so so good.
Let's be honest though, included earbuds were pretty universally garbage and the world is probably better off without the ewaste.
That said, please bring back the headphone jack.
Last time I tried to get Wayland on KDE a few months ago, it was a bit of a pain to get it working properly and then it was pretty buggy. Admittedly this was months ago, on Nvidia, and regular updates on making it better have been coming pretty consistently.
I like a pretty much stock with tweaks KDE, personally. Nice and simple, utilitarian, but not necessarily minimal.
I’ve never really cared for the MacOS visual style though.
Yeah, I feel that man. Hopefully it doesn't happen again though.
