Hardware support is one of the major issues with Linux. When the common retort involes not needing new hardware it's obvious they're missing the point.
It's great that Linux works well enough on ancient hardware. The fact that it doesn't work well on newer hardware is itself a problem. Heaven forbid you need to used Intel rst or an lte modem. Just mentioning either if those inevitably triggers a "why would you need those" response.

- willnonya 4y ago"Late" support. That's easy to say when you're not the one needing to use hardware that Linux doesn't support a decade later. Or the more mainstream features that aren't supported for 3-5 years after they went Mai stream. I'm not a fan of what MS has turned windows into but their surveillance is easier to mitigate than Linux insiting we use hardware from he 90's.
