From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Really, is it???
Edit: Yes it really is, amazing news
AMD A10-4600M and HD 7670M which is suspected to be dead. On Windows disabling integrated GPU caused the system to slow down a lot and have minor artifacts sometimes. I think the VRAM is dead. Though games work fine smh.
GNOME, KDE and Hyprland. Though usually this bug only happens on suspend, logout or switching between X11 and Wayland without a reboot. This time I can't even get to the desktop.
Well I don't have money for $2k laptops like absolutely everyone assumes here. The thing is that it was working before and it does work on Ubuntu live USB so it's most likely a Wayland setup issue. Trying to say it's old hardware just to protect Wayland is not a decision I can support in any way.
