- cryptonector 8y agoDid you read the comment you were replying to, or TFA? The issue isn't even remotely just poor hardware support.
- pnutjam 8y agoYour wrong, a good 70% is hardware in the article.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoThis is another issue. Have a problem? Don't worry, someone will helpfully tell you to try another distro. Have a problem with that one too? Don't worry, someone will helpfully tell you to try another distro.
- pnutjam 8y agoYeah, and there is no dearth of low quality instructions on Linux. IMHO, Ubuntu is particularly bad about this. All I can say is what I use everyday with no problems.

- diffeomorphism 8y agoWhy would it? Hardware support boils down to new kernels, mesa stacks etc and how many non-free drivers the distro wants to include. Opensuse (Leap) is not particularly cutting edge and is more restricted concerning non-free components than many other distros (e.g. why does it need pacman?). So, no. It does not have "the best" hardware support and no distro has "by far" more hardware support than all other distros.
- eitland 8y ago> Why would it? Hardware support boils down to new kernels, mesa stacks etc and how many non-free drivers the distro wants to include. Disagree. At least traditionally package choice and configuration by distro maintainers made a huge difference, as proven by the fact that problems could be solved by just fixing a config file or adding a package from the standard repo.
