> Numerous people report that Broadcom and Realtek network adapters are barely usable or outright unusable under Linux. This links to a 5-year-old thread on reddit. I have personally used both Broadcom and Realtek wifi cards in Linux and while they used to suck 10 years ago (i.e. go to a different computer, find the firmware blob you need, stick it on a USB stick and then come back to the computer you're trying to use and try to work out how to load the firmware blob), I don't recall recently having to do anything to get them to work. They just work straight away in the Ubuntu installer and you can select your network and connect, and this has been the case for several years. I'd say more than 5, but the reddit thread suggests otherwise. > X.org is largely outdated, unsuitable and even very much insecure for modern PCs and applications. I don't have any comment to add to this, other than that the word "modern" links to a slashdot thread from 2012. Are we sure this article is 2020 edition? > Web fonts under Linux often look horrible in old distros. 2 of the linked pages here have dates of 2013 and 2014, the 3rd link is to a Google+ page which no longer exists because Google+ no longer exists. And how are problems in "old distros" a 2020 problem anyway? > As much as Ubuntu might be commended they still distribute their downloaded ISO images via HTTP in 2020 Aha! Something about 2020. I went to ubuntu.com and tried to download the ISO and it came over https. I tried 3 times and got a different mirror each time, but each one was with https, so I do not understand the complaint. Maybe some of the mirrors aren't https?
