There really isn’t much you need to do to get your HDMI port working on Linux. In fact, the kernel module is probably loaded by default.

Exactly. I’ve had HDMI working on even the most hardened kernel on Arch. Either they needed to modprobe or they had installed the driver to the wrong folder and an insmod would have solved that too.

Where you you see a gender qualifier in the post? If you don’t know you don’t assume because you turn into a donkey or something like that.

They is, and has been for a very long time, perfectly valid for singular use.

Most people I’ve encounted do it all the time without noticing between sentences.

In english, they stands for both plural and gender-neural (when you don’t know whether the person you’re referring to is male or female).

Non-free firmware is now enabled by default in the installer. To install non-free software, you still need to enable the non-free repo.

Installed potato, 23 years ago, have Dist-upgraded since.

I doubt so. Only a small fraction of distribution requests you to select your own kernel modules. Mainstream distros package similarly to what you expect from Windows. But this would ruin the joke, wouldn’t it?
