Another data point that linux is still as amateurish as ever.
- vladvasiliu 4y agoIs it Linux, or is it the whole "consumer pc" industry, putting out shoddily engineered product to save a cent? I have two HP laptops that won't completely work with Windows, even the latest 11 22h2, yet have worked perfectly fine in Linux since day 1. And they're nothing fancy, either: year-old "enterprise" models, AMD/Intel with integrated graphics. Sure, they don't break on boot (though one requires an external mouse to install windows), but they're clearly not fully supported, even after installing the plethora of HP drivers. The Intel one only recently got a graphics driver upgrade that allows it to reliably output 4k@60Hz over the usb-c ports. I guess my point is, if all OSs seem equally amateurish, at least on the hardware support front, maybe it's not the OSs that are amateurish?
- prmoustache 4y agoYou surely mean the whole IT industry. The only one that do not issue recalls or warranty refund/ when end product has major issues/misfunction and just tell people to live with those bugs until they potentially fix them or not.
