This isn't about things that might be feasible or not, but about pretty basic things that work in windows and/or macOS without problems for years. I also applaud to people working to improve the linux desktop experience, especially if they do so unpaid. But one has to accept that it's still pretty bad. Just think if someone would want to sell you a product with all the same bugs. Often if you point out the weak parts like the article does, you will get attacked as being the fault. Or the blame gets put to other external parties like Apple. And I really think that this hostility is one of the greatest problems in the linux community.
I hope it should be clear that I also don't like putting blame on people, and I think there needs to be some collective taking responsibility by the linux community. If someone has problems the answer to that shouldn't be RTFM and PEBKAC, but questions if those issues can be averted directly in software.
- digi_owl 10y agoThe only reason it appears to work in those OSs is because the problem spots are papered over by binary only drivers. Linux etc do not have that luxury so the warts out for everyone to show. On top of that they are more often than not working blind, as they have limited to no access to the specs of the underlying hardware they are trying to support.
