Today, lovely Windows 11 installed an update. And since then I don’t have internet access because Microslop Wincrap 11 can somehow magically no longer connect to the DNS server - to any DNS server. No other device in my network has the same issue. I’ve been bugfixing for over an hour and haven’t found a solution. setting the DNS manually, resetting the network adapter, flushed all DNS entries (I used the commandline tool on Windows!). nothing works.
I don’t have ANY more patience with W11!
I already tried Linux. I’m using Ubuntu Server for hosting Nextcloud and Fedora just to play around.
Do you prefer Fedora or Ubuntu? I have an old Thinkpad…
(And no, I will not go down the rabbit hole of Arch ;-) At least not for now.)
Having multiple OSes is such a boon for doing… everything hahaha. Last night Windows was playing games and my MacBook was taking a long while to copy a huge folder over from server to server in my house, so I initiated the transfer from a Debian machine that was just playing media for our cats and let that run for a few hours. I had to walk over to it, though—my machine didn’t wanna RDP into it. What kinda world do we live in where I have to GO TO IT?! Wild.
