i wish there was a distro that worked well with my hardware out of the box, preferably without any applications that i do not explicitly choose to install.
i have no interest in setting up pulseaudio/alsa or having to set nomodeset in my grub config for the 20th time.
- iammyIP 10y agowhat distros have you tried? last 2 years have gotten rid of most of the pulseaudio/alsa annoyances, i didnt have to do any configuration on multiple machines (xubuntu 14.04, manjaro). i have one machine with an amd e-2000 that requires the nomodeset, which was annoying to fix, but that's also a pretty niche system. Overall my impression is that most hardware works out of the box pretty nice.
- ake1 10y agoi usually stick to things with aptitude or pacman.
- digi_owl 10y agoAt least the kernel people still support nomodeset. If the userspace people had their way, the option would likely have been ripped out long ago.
