- whateveracct 5y agoyes I know - I am implying a future where they Just Work and we do the hard work of building needed abstractions my code is possible if people want it :) the real value of NixOS is hardware and OS config can be turned into libraries!
- prophesi 5y agoThe only issues were needing to disable secure boot (which is usually a required step on laptops preinstalled with Windows anyways), and using a recent Linux kernel that has the required WiFi driver. Which the tutorial linked in the post mentions. And then Linux in general is notorious for having issues with USB WiFi adapters.
