Linux just .... sometimes.... forgets that computers older than a year exist doesn't it

I have a bunch of computers from 2012, completely fine computers, just don't use EFI, and devuan is freaking the fuck out and refusing to setup grub

Do you think @Becky will notice if I use FreeBSD?

Ooof, this doesn't wanna boot anything off this disk... Is it time for a PXE server?

I don't know what's easiest, but I can figure out and make adjustments in most tech situations 😅

Drivers don't work well on computers newer than a year, so I guess Linux doesn't know computers exist. 😅

Linux is computers for people who know enough about computers to want them to suck

Linux is a gaming OS. FreeBSD is for srs bsns!

I know right!

Though my ... work... tablet... (listen, it has a mechanical keyboard...) runs linux

But I am not certain about the Wacom options

Also - freebsd also failed the "boot on this thinkcentre" test
