      I still love the particular way that Garuda configures some things from the get go. I always knew it was Arch based and might break eventually. What I didn’t expect was the stupid power button deciding that it doesn’t want to work anymore.

          I did, by pushing really hard in random directions =/ I’m going to have to take it apart and clean things with a hope that it gets fixed. Until then, I’m going to have to only use sleep and not turn it off for real.

            You can just yank it off and short the wires manually to boot ☝🏻🤓

    Last month I was doing some normal computer maintenance, and when I had gotten everything set up I found the computer wouldnt turn on. Took me a full week to diagnose the problem: it wasn’t plugged into the wall.

      I wish laptops were a practical thing when I was in school. I had a PDA and it was useless.
