In before, “Yeah, we’ll, I just don’t use that feature so it doesn’t bother me.”
- smoldesu 4y agoIn response to what? All three operating systems here have things they are uniquely capable of, and uniquely incapable of. The stones are all in glass houses, I dare someone to throw the first one.
- jonathankoren 4y agoThis is a really weak retort. Only with linux is buying hardware a minefield where it's common to blame the purchaser for "not doing the research" or knowing what chipset(!) is in some piece of consumer hardware. Meanwhile, this problem simply doesn't exist on the two main desktop competitors. It's been this way for 30 years. And yes, this counts for "fully supported" hardware.

Seems like that fits pretty well into the category of problem you're describing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28639952 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28639952 Let's see: in the last couple of years, my Linux laptops have made me... spend a few minutes googling for how to get systemd to leave dhcp-provided dns servers alone, and one time where I couldn't get a serial driver to install cleanly. Meanwhile, my (work) Windows laptops have tried to burn down my house.
