Redhat and Canonical are big companies that did bet the house on Linux. A few years back I was confident Canonical was what desktop Linux needed to get its shit together.
And today I'm typing this on a Zareason laptop that's supposed to provide 1st class support for Ubuntu (even has an Ubuntu key), and the mic doesn't work, Fn keys don't work, youtube videos appear in monochrome blue, and it likes to boot itself up randomly from time until the battery drains...

- coffeeaddicted 14y agoTo fix the blue youtube videos: Create a file /etc/adobe/mms.cfg and put the following 2 lines in it: EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1 OverrideGPUValidation=true Some people will probably tell you all kind of reasons why this is bad, but it works.
