Same issues here. I love GOS but I need basic things like SMS/MMS/RCS to work, and right now they just don’t.

Still true though. I’m distro-agnostic, running the best whatever for the job at hand.

When I give a presentation at a conference about something technical, the question always comes up: “Why are you running that on so-and-so? $Distro is so much better…” and their whole train of thought deviates from the subject at hand.

Point is, the tool is the tool. If Fedora is the best option given our licenses and use scenario, I don’t need to hear about how much better xyz is and how we’re wasting money.

I just want xyz to work. I don’t need the distro wars to be a thing when I’ve got 6 other more important things to attend to.

Backblaze is a great backup solution. They publish drive stats and even show you the hardware they use.

Did your computer lose its bios settings lately? Check to see if it’s set to ahci and not raid if using a single, non-raid disk.

You can try some of the suggestions at https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/how-can-we-fix-this-no-irq-handler-for-vector-4175692269/, too.

Good luck

Pretty valid complaint seeing how the ARRL is sitting on millions of dollars in dues, yet has no idea how to run or secure a web site or application. Goddamn right the ARRL should feel nothing but shame.

Between this incident and the ARRL shutting their entire site down for a week to perform an upgrade (dev environment, anyone?), I have very little faith in the owners nephew or whoever is running the web services.

If you can’t run a website, take the millions of dollars in dues you get every year and hire a cloud computing company to run things. The status quo is untenable.
