   So one of my friends who built his PC bro bought a Nvidia GPU and today he complained that Ubuntu 22.04 updated and broke the GPU, after he just restarted it didn't work.
   
   He found out that booting the old kernel would make it work after trying anything and I thought the kernel was corrupt (the fun of helping people online is you work with vague shit) but when he mentioned the video worked on 6.2 and not 6.5, I found the answer: he had a Nvidia GPU. Turns out this is an issue on Nvidia.
   https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/linux-new-kernel-6-5-0-14-ubuntu-22-04-can-not-compile-nvidia-display-card-driver/278553/27
   
   So here's my message
   JESUS FUCKING CHRIST STOP BEING A DUDEBRO PC GAMER BUYING NOVIDEO GPUS AND BUY SOMETHING THAT RESPECTS YOUR FREEDOM LIKE AMD/INTEL

     @Pawlicker use products that don't just understand you as a consumer but aren't actively spitting in your face.

     ATI and AMD GPUs don't respect freedom, as they aren't really usable without proprietary peripheral software (technically you can run ATI and AMD GPUs under the radeonsi driver with the proprietary software removed and get 1080p output, but you don't get 3D accel and S3 suspend doesn't work).
     
     Older intel iGPUs do respect freedom and coreboot has free init for those, but newer intel (i)GPUs do not operate without proprietary peripheral software.
     
     Certain Aspeed integrated GPUs (i.e. for servers) have free init in coreboot, but such init and handler currently lacks EDID support, so you're stuck with the default resolution.
     
     
     For some very strange reason, older Nvidia GPUs mostly respect freedom, as nouveau has free peripheral software for nvidia GPUs up to the 700 series.
     
     
     Pretty much, install GNUboot on a core 2 Thinkpad and enjoy graphics freedom.

     @Suiseiseki what do you think of the alpine Linux dev and the fact these people are in the Linux scene

     @Pawlicker I forgot to comment on the "Linux Scene" and really Alpine is BusyBox/Linux and development of distros based off BusyBox and Linux developers are radically different scenes that I have entirely different opinions one.
     
     BusyBox is really a poor imitator of GNU and unless your hardware has only 2MiB of storage, you should really install a real GNU/Linux distro instead of Alpine.

     There are much better ports of GNU to windows really and they're really not that hard to install.
     
     >It doesn't even make sense on embedded systems anymore, because RAM and flash storage is cheaper than ever, so that's not really an argument nowadays.
     Sure, but some manufacturers use 8MiB chips anyway, despite how they cost the same as 1GiB ones.

     Busybox only makes sense on Wangblows because the alternative is nothing at all. And getting GNU utils on Wangblows is a chore that I'm glad I almost never have to deal with. For those times where I'm stuck with Wangblows for some god forsake reason (I'm on a friend's house and I have to do shit on their machines, for example), Busybox at least allows me to get some shit done and installing it is only three commands.
     
     It doesn't even make sense on embedded systems anymore, because RAM and flash storage is cheaper than ever, so that's not really an argument nowadays.

     It has snap, which is worse than flatpak, nontheless I'd rather pick a machine with Ubuntu and snaps than W11.

     Yeah considering how retarded Wangblows is, I totally believe you.
     
     Last week I had to setup some Lenovo low spec laptop that came with this proprietarded malware installed by default for some granny that all she does is stalk people on Facebook, I was so tempted to just download Ubuntu 22.04 and install that shit because I'm certain I would've saved time if I did, without having to deal with all this account nonsense. Ubuntu is absolute garbage filled with nonfree shovelware but at least it doesn't demand accounts and inet to make a fucking user account.

     Yes, that's why I'd rather use a decade old laptops and install a proper GNU+Linux-libre distribution booting from a cheap USB flash drive, you get better specs, low TDP still and you can host all sorts of servers on it, not just dnsmasq and a shitty webGUI like with most routers.
