You’re not crazy. AI is an useful tool I use daily for quickly summarizing things and for writing code that would otherwise be tedious as hell. I also use it for tips on certain issues in code for learning.

DeepSeek cost so little because they were able to use the billions that OpenAI and others spent and fed that into their training. DeepSeek would not exist (or would be a lot more primitive) if it weren’t for OpenAI.

I fixed it! A bios reset did the trick.

Update: I reset the bios and that fixed the issue.

This may work in 99% of the cases, but not in my situation since I’ve tried 5 distros and none of them boot. I’m pretty sure there are deeper issues, but they are clearly beyond my level of knowledge.

Good recommendation, but didn’t work. I’m quite puzzled by this problem and it’s much more difficult than I at first thought. I’m pretty sure it has to do with the bios since the computer doesn’t turn off properly and there are many more weird bugs.

I have tried to boot from 3 distros and none of them worked, but a windows USB worked perfectly. I’m thinking that it has to do with the bios. No they are not on the same drive.

Yes, I’m thinking that the bios got corrupted somehow and from what I can tell, it doesn’t matter what linux kernel version I try to run. There is no SGX setting in the bios. I will try to update the bios tomorrow (I already tried once and that hung as well) and will update the thread then. Luckily windows still works.

When I restart the computer, the screen remains dark so I have to shut it down. After I select distro it hangs. When I boot from any live USB I get the error

It wasn’t the windows update. It happened after a Linux update.

When I restart the computer, the screen remains dark so I have to shut it down. When I select my distro, the screen hangs on that. When I boot from any live USB I get the error

I have tried different distros, but none work. Interestingly windows still works.

Cool, but I will still prefer to use duckduckgo and type Lemmy in the end of my query.

The same has been also said about every tech revolution.
