    I once tabbed out in thd middle of a game to check an email and absent mindedly authorized an update while i was in desktop. A few minutes later I started getting overheat warnings–I set the threshold very low; I like my stuff to last–I started getting hardware lag.

    It turns out my graphics card updated, and the game fell back to integrated graphics while it was unavailable. The terminal code to switch it back without shutting anything down required touching too many things i dont like to touch unless I’m sober, and was really complicated, and I mistyped the one to restart, so I saved my game, and pressed the reset button on the case to make it better.

    Linux is so broken.
