I'm not sure a fork is needed - I think as ever it's a question of drivers.
The existence of this page suggests that the listed PC manufacturers are at least to some extent cooperating, or even helping, with getting Ubuntu working on their hardware. Sadly, I can't see Apple taking the same attitude :( Are there any Linux fans inside Apple with 20% time?
- antirez 15y agoYep I mean to provide a zero-problems experience. Just put a CD inside and everything will work. Possibly with a selection of pre-installed beautiful open source software. So an "apple alike" experience for Linux users.
- sciurus 15y agoThat sounds like how the current Ubuntu CD works on almost all hardware.
- antirez 15y agoI needed 12 years of using only Linux to finally don't trust sentences like this without any need for debates or arguments. (I'm only using osx even if I would switch for ethical issues, but there is nothing similar IMHO). EDIT: also even after the 12 years two years ago I tried again with a macbook, with very poor results.
- sciurus 15y agoI've been involved with around 1,500 Ubuntu installs over the last four years at http://www.freeitathens.org http://www.freeitathens.org. It's rare for us to image a computer and not have everything just work. We're usually working on three to ten year old computers. If we saw more new computers, perhaps I'd be more pessimistic about linux support.
