    Way back in the olde tymes, I was having trouble with the NIC driver in my Linux install. I posted a question about it on USENET, and got a reply from the guy who wrote the drivers. He asked for some info about the card, then updated the driver to support it.

    One of the best parts about Linux. So much is open source which means your 20 year old hardware still likely has support.

      Unfortunately, the RTL8812AU isn’t 20 year old hardware (then it might get a pass) - it’s current gen stuff

      To be honest, yes. In general, not just tech or Linux related stuff. You look at humanity and what it has come down to, and then you notice these people… and hope fills your heart again.
