Haha wunderbar. GNU plus Linux ftw.

Edit: Für Interessierte. Im QRC ist folgender Text hinterlegt:

„I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.“

Needed to switch from Debian to Manjaro because of some gcc version conflicts regarding the linux Kernel and the nvidia driver kernel module. The only fix was to install a newer or older linux kernel. Which is a pain in the ass with Debian but is easy with Manjaro :)

Also switching between newest „gaming“ drivers and cuda always broke my system and drove me crazy. So many hours lost because of nvidia.

I also have to work with some nvidia edge devices. No fresh install without new issues, i can assure you.

Edit: Fyi although I am somewhat teck-savvy, I just recently switched completely to linux. Hence, there might be a good way to handle cuda drivers and „gaming“ drivers

Could you share more Information? How do these captchas look like and what are the tasks?

I am just curious, as I probably won’t even lurk on these hidden services.
