Some drivers are included with the kernel and have 1st class support due to their importance but most wireless and video depends on manufacturers due to changing hardware and licencing issues.
You are a software developer, you know this should read "the manufacturer didn't release a Linux driver".
- zac23or 4y agoRegardless of why the driver doesn't exist, the result is the same: Linux does not support the motherboard Wifi chip. Probably many Linux problems are not just technical problems, but political problems or other types of problems, but the result is the same: A terrible user experience.
- smoldesu 4y ago> Linux does not support the motherboard Wifi chip. I'm sorry, this is a bald-faced lie. Every motherboard I've ever purchased has worked just fine with Linux networking out-of-the-box. If you bought a motherboard that doesn't support Linux, then I'm sorry to hear. That doesn't apply to everything though, so I'd recommend revising your wording in the future. It's kinda like complaining that your new Nvidia GPU won't get recognized by your Mac Pro, therefore all GPUs are incompatible with MacOS!
