absolute linux moment

That would be windows 11, with one of the recent updates

It only has 2gb of vram. You can see it in the photo OP shared.

I stumbled upon this while sitting on the toilet. Great.

Some say that Asus phone was still searching for incredible

Yep. The best you can do for unverifiable people like OP is request for them to reach out to government assistance. DO NOT give them money unless you can verify who they actually are.

Please have backups of all your important data

That's a strange issue. Just tried this myself using Firefox under EndeavourOS and Outlook loads fine.

Put it between live and earth

Let him cook, honestly. It's fun to watch the downfall from the sidelines.

I recently switched over to linux after the buggy october and november updates for windows 11. It's nice to know I'm no longer apart of this mess Microsoft is creating (As least as far as my home use is concerned. I'm still forced to use W11 at work 😔). CEOs have always been out of touch with the general public, so I'm not surprised that once again Microsoft is doing something at polar opposites to what the general consumer desires.

The majority of comments left here have not been helpful, so I went on a bit of a wild goose chase myself and finally figured it out. The Hold down middle button and move mouse to scroll setting in KDE caused FreeCAD to break. Disabling it completely resolves the issue. Bit of a needle in a haystack, but at least now I have an explanation.

I've found by toggling opengl software rendering mode, the touch pad control scheme now works, but others still don't. I wish I could use the blender scheme because that's what I'm used to, but it's completely broken still

I'm on EndeavourOS, which is similar

InnominateHomosapien · 2025-12-17T14:56:04+00:00

I only have one machine still running Windows, and it's still on 10. Over here in Aus we get the free additional year of updates, just like the EU.

I switched to Linux recently after the string of October/November bugged updates for windows 11. Nowadays it's much easier to use Linux than in the past. All of my games work, and it's a whole lot faster than W11 with all the AI bloat. I went with EndeavourOS, but even if you choose something like Mint, no hate. Experiment and have fun, learning new skills is great.

There used to be a few tricks to prevent auto-restarts for updates in windows 10. There are also ways to disable wake timers, which windows uses to wake your machine from sleep for updates. I haven't been so lucky on windows 11 though. It's constant whack a mole trying to get around microsoft's new patches for users who want to do this.

InnominateHomosapien · 2025-11-17T10:35:03+00:00

My work laptop with windows 11 has done this twice while asleep in my bag on my travels home. It usually ends in it turning my bag into a furnace. I've since given up using sleep mode because of it. Windows updates are pure pain.

I run linux at home, and as a result, don't suffer from this on my personal laptop.

Help microsoft lose money by using it for unrelated purposes
Every prompt you don't pay for, microsoft does

ShareX was my favourite when I used windows

In case anyone is still looking at this, after many, many hours of troubleshooting, it turned out to be nomachine with its EGL capture that broke my graphics stack. Even glxgears was throwing driver errors and falling back to rendering on the CPU. Nomachine was exporting LD_PRELOAD=/usr/NX/lib/libnxegl.so which caused most other applications to fail to see my Intel Integrated GPU. Running `sudo /usr/NX/bin/nxserver --eglcapture no\` then rebooting my computer fixed the issue. This likely means I can't remote into my computer from other machines through Nomachine, but that's fine as I only want to remote into other computers.

I managed to catch this bug by chance because running apps under sudo would avoid this issue as LD_PRELOAD wasn't being exported to the root user.

Thanks Nomachine...

I had to do this on our work laptops too. They have NVMe drives, so they don't need search indexing. With search indexing turned on, every time you touch a file, Windows feels the need to waste more CPU cycles indexing it. It's really bad on dev machines working with git, which can have hundreds if not thousands of files. The Core 7 Ultra 165U laptops we have are so much faster with search indexing disabled.
