You don’t have time to be depressed when you’re trying to fix xorg.conf. (yeah, I know, super dated reference, Linux is actually so good these days I can’t find an equivalent joke).
I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe… CRTs on fire from an xorg.conf typo… I configured display servers in the dark cause the screen was black… All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain… Time to switch to Wayland.
You haven’t lived until you’ve compiled a 3com driver in order to get token ring connectivity so you can download the latest kernel source that has that new ethernet thing in it.
Or installing Linux. You’ll still be depressed, but at least you have a good reason now.
You’ll also get knee-socks so win/win
I’ve been using Linux for 17 years but they still didn’t issue me my pair of knee-socks. WTF?
Idk, are you using arch? There seems to be a correlation from what I’ve gathered from Lemmy

Editing grub.cfg from an emergency console, or running grub-update from a chroot is a close second.
Adding the right Modeline to xorg.conf seemed more like magic when it worked. 🧙🏼
And you have a lot to (look forward to) do which might actually help
haha I really like Linux but that’s funny and somehow also true😂
