It does just work (TM). Brightness and volume hotkeys work out of the box, without a desktop environment (even on the console). WiFi, including autojoining, works using a single ifconfig command or configuration file. Suspend/resume works on my laptop without any configuration.
If you’re using it on a laptop, just make sure to use an older, less ultrabook-like machine and you’ll be good.
- gilrain 8y agoIf you're willing to use old hardware for compatibility, any of the major *nix flavors just work.
- snazz 8y agoTrue. I was still impressed with how well-thought-out the laptop features were without a desktop environment. I think it would be harder to get the same on Linux without manually configuring the hotkeys and dealing with wpa_supplicant.
