Desktop Linux in a nutshell.
- knob 10y agoThat's not true and it's a disservice to Linux. Ubuntu will work out of the box. So will it variants. Probably applies to current Fedora variants as well.
- lmns 10y agoDepends on your hardware.
- pjmlp 10y agoI have a Asus laptop here, that was bought with Linux support and Ubuntu had its share of issues with the wlan card. To this day still doesn't take advantage of AMD GPU as it should.
- clappski 10y agoUbuntu have done really well with 'it just works'; it's the only distro that installs out of the box with the correct Broadcom driver for my Mac Mini. While I could of gone for Arch like I normally do, it was nice for a change to have an installer I can walk away from and let it do its thing and come back to a working machine.
- space_ghost 10y agoFedora is great out of the box. Unless you want to use something other than GNOME 3. Or play MP3s.
- jazoom 10y agoI've been a lifetime Windows user and I just recently switched to Linux Mint. It's really come a long way since I last tried it 1-2 years ago. Actually, I've been having far more problems with Windows 10 than with Linux (just today it decided to make my speakers sound awful and nothing seems to fix it). And for some reason, Windows problems seem a lot more difficult to solve, even though I've been using it for 20 years.
