gollark: My laptop mostly works with it, except the SD card reader doesn't work for some reason. Also the fingerprint sensor and smartcard reader but I have no idea what to do with them anyway.
gollark: Unsupported hardware.
gollark: If you just blindly copy-paste stuff into the terminal to do things, you will have Problems™.
gollark: I mean, stuff like "an actually good terminal which you use for many operations" is new to many users.
gollark: To actually use it you do need to know more than how to install it, though.
