I think that nail the software (app + dev experience) is a bigger challenge and priority than worry about the (external) hardware.
P.D: One thin I forget to articulate is the possibility to leverage linux as a bridge for drivers (possible)? so the new OS ship a smallish linux just for get compatibility.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 7y agoThen you're just making a Linux distribution, or something like Android I suppose. You may as well say extending Chromium would solve the web monoculture issue. That isn't how it works. > I think that nail the software (app + dev experience) is a bigger challenge and priority than worry about the (external) hardware. You are ludicrously wrong. Using the Linux kernel as an example, because drivers are in-tree, as of 4.19 (late 2018): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/udoprog/kernelstats/master/gfx/kernelstats-millions.png https://raw.githubusercontent.com/udoprog/kernelstats/master... As you can see, drivers are the vast majority of the kernel. And Linux's hardware support is often called out as a reason people use Windows or MacOS!
