  1. Fascinating list. The only one of these I'm worried about is my memory going bad, and thankfully that's never happened. One tip I can give on indexing your files, as it's an immensely useful thing to have when you're trying to find a file and you've forgotten precisely where you put it, is to use mlocate. A simple cron job to run updatedb during those times when you're not using your computer, and then you can run locate from the command line to find whatever you're looking for. It's super fast, and I've got multiple terabytes of files. I'm sure someone has written a wrapper for it if anyone wants to avoid the terminal and only use GUI tools, and if anyone reading this knows of such tools, leave a reply for others.

  2. With regard to that final point, I think I've come across an issue that's the opposite, where I'm having issues with latest kernels with DisplayPort connection between my GPU and monitor. When dualbooting with Windows, and picking Fedora in GRUB menu, the GPU fans will go full speed, and the monitor will show "no signal" message before going blank. Never happens with Windows, so should not be hardware-related. The only semi-workaround I've found is to use 6.6.14 kernel instead of 7.3 or 7.4. Frustrating.

  4. You should have called the video "10 typical Ubuntu Problems…" because that is who you are talking to.
    How can you possibly recommend Ubuntu as good for "latest software and hardware". Some of the stuff in their repos are years old!

    Canonical has become to comfortable. They were great for new users a few years back.
    Nowdays I mostly see both them and their users create problems.
    Both steam and firefox very recently begged users not to use the Ubuntu recommended way of installing their software and to not send bugreports because they are using old software!

  5. This video is awesome. You showcased real problems on production, and told how to fix them.
    Also, finally someone mainstream enough addressed GNOME's slow performance.
    You're singlehandedly the best on Linux YouTube. Keep up the great work.

  6. Fully agree with the wifi-card solution (i.e. just swapping it). I had an issue with my laptop where the wifi just couldn't reconnect after waking from suspend. I spent hours looking for a solution, and kind of found one that worked most of the time, but not all the time. Just swapping it out was the best fix. So glad I didn't buy a laptop with a soldered wifi module and RAM etc…

  7. in terms of DisplayLink, in order to use “regular” USB C docking stations, both the station and your laptops’s port have to support either Thunderbolt or DisplayPort. Especially on lower end laptops, you may have a USB C port that supports data transfer, but isn’t a Thunderbolt or a DisplayPort compatible port.
    That being said, i’ve never gotten DisplayLink to work properly either so there’s really no good solution here expect to replace the laptop or deal with the lack of a dock.

  8. 8:52 that's rich. How many times have I seen the live cd work with my wifi card but the fresh install fail; basically every live environment (even arch) has more drivers/firmware files installed than the default install
