I started writing a post about the latest addition to my ~/.bash_profile file:
``` # Restart Network Driver alias n="sudo modprobe -r ath10k_pci && sudo modprobe ath10k_pci" ``` And ended up stealing the Apple ad instead. Much more fun. :)

does stuff in ~/.bash_profile also get executed when you return from suspend/hibernation or rather just at first boot?

Oh no, this is just an alias called `n` that I execute when the drivers are borked. Every other time that my laptop resumes from hibernate my wifi doesn't work. There is probably a much better solution here, but this one works for me.

i went through the same pains with my hp stream 11

the fwlps=0 option disables the sleep feature altogether which might reduce battery life, but installing tlp gave me ~2 hrs extra per charge

Nice! Thanks for sharing that. I think that AskUbuntu thread is a living testimonial to what I am trying to express through my trolly blog post.
I am honestly proud to be in a community of users who would read that thread and not reinstall Windows. It takes a special breed.

#10I use desktop linux on my work computer, it barely works and I have some issues. Although it's red hat enterprise which is running a lot of old shit.
I think using a friendlier distro like Ubuntu or Fedora would probably be a lot better and give a much better experience.
