Are you using "perpetually" ironically in that sentence or is the logical absurdity of what you said evading you? (look up "perpetually").

(look up "perpetually").
- imgabe 14y agoIt is quite clear what perpetually means in that sentence. Are you really trying to start an argument about semantics with a stranger on the Internet? Do you consider this the best use of your one finite lifetime?
- drivebyacct2 14y agoI just don't understand what you're trying to save. It can't be or have a "perpetually unfixed problem" if it "everything work[ed]" at one point in time. Besides, it's not like there was anything substantial there besides more hand waving old inaccurate stereotypes about linux.

Yet, years later, with an updated distribution on a new computer, they occur again, perpetually. The problem can remain perpetually unfixed at the distribution level if everyone who installs it is willing to spend time tinkering around to get things to work right.
