Intel Laptop Users Should Avoid Linux 5.19.12 To Avoid Potentially Damaging The Display

[sinepgib]

It definitely isn't affecting every machine. My framework laptop was nearly unusable.

Indeed: 5.19.12-arch1-1

It would be interesting to see what makes the difference.

Don't worry, it's always a "first time" for anyone when it fucks up their setup.

And then you'll have some smartass who's gonna say "works for me, never had issues" and others believe him... until a "first time" happens to them. Then they complain, and another smartass says the same thing, ad infinitum.

Rolling release distros will break your setup at some point. It's not a question of if, but when.

It's a layer 8 issue tho. You should know what you sign up for.

I thought it was my laptop dying or something...

Someone on arch forum already helped me with this problem but yesterday I thought the same

Me, using a LTS distro that other people call "obsolete crap", watching kids on the bleeding edge getting their papercuts...

TBH, while I've had breakages with rolling releases, I also had breakages with Ubuntu LTS in the past and also Debian Stable-derived distros like Deepin.

Me, having had issues with both rolling release AND LTS, watching you...

So will stable release distros, except breakages will occur only at certain time points and with a much higher chance as you'll update everything at once.

Cool, I have my own cyborg sidekick.

Well said.

And even then, you always have the smartass that will tell you that once their install didn't boot, but "no biggie!" since they will go into rescue mode yadda yadda.

Your install broke. You knew how to fix it, sure, but don't go around telling people "never had an issue", as someone else might not be able to extricate themselves from a similar situation.
