Aw hell, my writing laptop's gone and broke itself. Must've been that last update. The question is, do I want to try fixing it, or switch from #artixlinux to something else? #NixOS paired with #guix could be an interesting change of pace, or maybe #GhostBSD. It only needs to run the basics, so this is kind of ideal to try something different. I could even try #9front or #RISCOS. Assuming they have wifi drivers for whatever's in a ThinkPad x220t, anyway.
Well, probably not RISCOS. Might try #GNUhurd, though.
