It turns out that a FOSS operating system largely maintained by volunteers does not meet your requirements, and you know what? That’s fine. No ones forcing you to use it. Giving people options is the whole point of Linux. We cannot compel other companies (such as NVIDIA) to support it anyway.
- Normille 6y agoI wish I'd put a couple of quid bet on someone coming along and trotting out the obligatory "Free... Volunteers... Write your own..." reply. The response that someone always comes out with whenever anyone [even someone who likes Linux and uses it] dares to criticise. And exactly the reason why it will NEVER be the 'Year of Linux on the Desktop'. It's the Linux equivalent of Steve Jobs's infamous "You're holding it wrong". If someone offers a valid criticism then blame the user. It's so much easier than actually addressing the problem, no matter how glaring. I wasn't criticising some obscure edge case here, where someone hacks about and messes something up. This is the official GUI installer, which will actually recommend you install something that will, to all intents and purposes, brick your computer. How newbie-friendly can you get! Even Steve Jobs might have thought twice, before blaming the user for that one!
