From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I appreciate you. No worries. I already tried reverting the kernel. Still didn't work. They pushed a firmware update and it fucked shit up.
I wanna say fwupd/lvfs manages firmware updates on Arch (and lots of other distros) these days.
You may be able to roll back the latest firmware update with fwupdmgr. What's the output of
fwupdmgr get-devices
in your terminal? Also, what is the make/model of the ethernet port that is now on the fritz? You can search for it on the website here: https://fwupd.org/ in the "search for firmware" bar at the top, then you may be able to install the old version with fwupdmgr.It's fine. I'm fed up with this shit. I just reinstalled. I have a complete back that I can restore. Fuck this shit, man. Been working on for like 5 fucking hours.
