Ok but when I run it on my notebook, WiFi is slow, the laptop crashes when I connect it to a docking station, audio doesn't work and suspend and resume is broken. And this on a Linux certified machine.
- serf 2y ago'notebook computer' is so ambiguous as to be useless. go find one of those 'notebook computer's that the dev team uses (probably a few-generations-old thinkpad or dell) and go see what the experience is like if you're unwilling or unable to put the work into getting your machine to run as you wish. furthermore this isn't a solved issue for ANY OS on the fringe of the computer market. Go install the newest version of Windows on a Chuwi machine and see how many drivers are MIA and functionalities lost. Install Linux on an obscure VAIO or Toughbook and see what happens. Regardless of the promises and hoped-for-wishes, EVERY os is hardware-centric, and they all have different orbits. The BSDs just tend to make choices that give them one of the widest arrangement of choices in the 'will-it-run-on-this' category.
- musicale 2y ago> EVERY os is hardware-centric, and they all have different orbits Kind of why I like macOS (works fine on any Mac, with about 7 years of support – though I wish it were 10, and x86 support may stop sooner) and Windows (runs on any x86 PC, games work without issue, years of updates and backward compatibility.) But on a mainstream x86 laptop like a ThinkPad, I'd expect Ubuntu/Debian/etc. and FreeBSD to work well, for 10 years or more of updates. (And I'd expect most games to work on Linux with Proton.)
