>Inb4 the anecdotal "well it works for me I just had to download the xf86 font library and compile with a legacy glibc version..." crew comes in with a thousand and one rebuttals. Problems like that are still a suboptimal user experience, no matter how you slice it.
No, my experience is much more along the lines of, "I download and install Ubuntu or Linux Mint, and then it works without further issues."
- H1Supreme 8y agoI put Ubuntu Mate on an old 2009 Macbook because it couldn't function with MacOs anymore. A wifi driver was the only thing it needed. Which, ended up being trivial to install. Everything else worked out of the box. Two finger gestures on the trackpad, audio, everything. My current Dell Inspiron 7000 didn't need a single driver installed manually (with Ubuntu). Pretty impressive.
