  • Fedora. About 20 years ago I installed Fedora on my spare PC. I don’t remember the exact date but I can tell you the Fedora version was Yarrow. Yeah, a long time ago.

    Anyways, my Fedora Yarrow installation worked great for less than 2 days. One update and I suddenly didn’t have internet. The Fedora maintainers decided to drop the driver for my ethernet card even though that particular hardware had existed for only 3 years. I was furious! WTF are you doing dropping drivers for 3 yo hardware?! Yes I can reinstall the driver but I shouldn’t have needed to. Linux has always had a hardware support problem and they were dropping drivers for hardware that wasn’t even 5 years old.

    I’ve ran mostly Debian -based distros since and never had a similar problem. And I know that it’s petty and even silly after all this time but I’m never touching Fedora again.

    You know what you need to do --end the relationship. It’s only going to get worse. Never let someone abuse you if you don’t absolutely have to. There might be times that you’ll miss her but someone like that will escalate their abuse if you endure it.
