@Sinless the kernel itself does not update microcode. Usually your OS will load microcode updates at startup. For Linux, microcode is usually provided as a package in your OS's repos. Ie for Debian and Intel CPUs, it is intel-microcode in the non-free repo.

@KyleRuzic a couple of other possibilities, in order of likelihood:

One if your RAM sticks went bad. I've had a laptop fail to boot with bad ram.

Add-on card failed (GPU)

Some random peripheral failed

CPU failed, but only if you were overclocking, over volting, and/or had poor cooling

Motherboard

CPU failure regardless of overclocking

@KyleRuzic ok, then yeah I would suspect the mobo

@KyleRuzic most likely it's the PSU. Start with that. Also double check that nothing came loose when you took the front panel off.

TFW when you go through your work email and intentionally delete 200,000 emails.

Not an exaggeration.

#Arizona just outlawed cell phone use while driving, except when using a hands free device.

About time.

While I'm a big fan of #KDE Plasma, the PIM suite (Kontact et al) is still an inferior solution to what #GNOME offers.

Of course, #Mozilla #Thunderbird is still the best.

@hund not worth the effort when I already have too many shirts :)

Bought this shirt after I first discovered #Linux. Yesterday I ripped a hole in the shirt, so time to toss it :(

RIP #Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal shirt, you had a good run, as did your OS.

@uranther when I bought my monitor, it was an excellent price for the combination of size + resolution. I COULD buy a bigger and/or higher resolution screen, but it would be difficult to find one for the right price.

But I would also want better hardware than what I have, ie better CPU and GPU.

Besides, my aging eyes don't need any more additional eyestrain.

#ScreenshotSunday

I decided it was time to distro hop...to #Kubuntu. #KDE Plasma 5.15 was to enticing, as is the Kubuntu PPA.

Besides, I want better Vulkan and DXVK support with my Nvidia drivers, something Debian is going to lack for awhile.

Boy do I have a story to tell about this, though. Maybe later.

@mattmcnutt oh hell no
