  • How down-puttingly assuming of you to know me or my country who in its entire long history never invaded someone and was mostly a vassal for others.

No, muslims are not the only victims of this cruel world.

OEMs and AMD have been digging their heads in the sand like ostritches and they have released the odd fix that does nothing to fix the underlying issue. I can’t see MS doing anything to reverse course on requirements and am getting a bit fed up with their BS lately, browsing what distro might suit me best and might pull the trigger and finally switch…
