i followed a "install any linux distro in 5 minutes" guide and after just 14 hours i finally have an OS that is running properly

as a long time hater i must say its very nice and i like it a lot, especially considering microsoft is hellbent on making windows the worst OS as quickly as possible. i will say, im a big nerd and this stuff comes to me pretty easily but i still think hoping normies will adopt this is kinda insane

anywho, its the year of linux or so i keep hearing

also if anyone knows why my keyboard keeps disconnecting every 30 minutes or so, i would very much like to know why. its an anne pro 2 that i am using with a wired connection

it doesn't have any bell or whistle that should make it show up as a gamepad, tbh to me it seems like a dev covering one too many bases or something because there really isn't any reason for it

Btw I just googled USB power management, and on Linux the default USB "autosuspend" seems to be 2 seconds. So it going into power safe mode after half an hour seems unlikely.
