Okay thats nice, but I actually lived through this and its not always this nice.

When you can't run your Nvidia 3060 because the kernel was outdated, you don't really bother with outdated linux anymore.

Do you think we are just making this stuff up? All these comments about bluetooth not working. Bugs not fixed. Having to do surgery with the terminal to get stuff working... We are just making stuff up?

Buddy, I would have loved if outdated linux worked.
