Yeah, it was some BIOS bug or hardware error that halted Debs, but RPM based would show that it worked around the issue and continued. As a Debian branch whatever was missing in main was probably missing throughout all the derivatives.

I tried every single* deb based distro on a Samsung laptop from 2010. Some installed but would freeze with error mid boot, some deb based refused to install and gave error upfront. I tried fedora and opensuse and they acknowledge the error and moved on.

Whatever hardware or bios bug or error handling problem tripped up the system , it was was prevrlant through all of the Debian Branch.

And No it wasn't secure boot. That was disabled.

Some hardware doesn't play well with deb based distros vs rpm based, it would be good to point out if your install is failing with errors that another distro may work

Sure but some vendors don't want to pay MC or Visa the skim % they take from profit, so cash is sometimes preferred

? Weird take. Cash is the legal tender. Credit Card is a slippery slope that gets people to overspend and extort fees. Cash is still highly used all over the works for daily transactions, even though google and apple wallet exist. Not every vendor wants MC/Visa to have a 4% cut of their sales either .

Yep, have experienced that working retail, they hand you USD, which we convert, and give CAD change. They get irate that they are American and should get USD back...buddy we don't carry USD or all foreign currency, we are doing you a service by allowing a foreign currency at all, rather than you having to go to a bank first

Its a top down progression logic of conditional statements if this then this, it doesn't work backwards. As I mentioned elsewhere it is not a Venn diagram meme where bottom statement is the only way you could be lonely.

A good friend of mine and I were open enough to hug and say "I love you man" to each other, even at work. The engineering staff sort of tolerates us but thought we were weird for showing feelings, the shop floor staff immediately started with the gay rumour.
