@mookie I've been using #Manjaro for the last three years after 15 years on ubuntu based distros. I really like the idea of a stable yet rolling distribution (so no more version upgrades every now and then) and Manjaro proved to be reliable and hassle free for three years now on my hardware (a Thinkpad T450s laptop).

I have the feeling a lot of #Linux users don't "get" #manjaro. I'll try to explain, for myself anyway. I'm an advance Linux user, but I'd never call myself a guru. I'm not an IT or CS guy. My main interest is, and always has been, to get away from #windows. I've learned enough to break things, and maybe not end up formatting the drive and reinstalling. It offers just enough customisation to make it my own (in my case, #xfce) Because it's a rolling release, the #software is up-to-date but also lags a week behind #Arch, which is fine by me. And at this point, it works for me, I've learned its quirks, and don't want to hop to something else.

Is there a way to reinstall an AUR kernel driver package for a newer, not-currently-running kernel?

Because as it is, this looks a little cumbersome:
- upgrade kernel but not driver
- reboot into new kernel lacking driver
- upgrade (reinstall) driver
- reboot again

Would be nice if upgrading the kernel would notice 'oh, you have some extra modules, let's get those added for the new kernel too'..

Mein neues #Manjaro KDE erkennt meine externe Festplatte mit den ganzen Daten, die da drauf ruhen, nicht. Siehe Screenshots.

Ideen, was ich tun muss, damit die Platte gelesen werden kann? Ich hoffe, es findet sich eine möglichst nicht zu komplizierte Lösung.

I yanked :manjaro: #Manjaro off of my mother's laptop and replaced it with a nicely customized :nixos: #NixOS.

She now has a button to pull config updates from my #homelab and build it (also done regularly in the background). Old versions stay selectable at boot.

When she has a problem, there's shortcuts for #RustDesk and ad-hoc reverse #SSH tunnels.

I can test everything in a VM, then add changes, she'll pick it up eventually or right away.

Loosely inspired by @codemonkeymike's #nixbook.
