- dylangs1030 14y agoTrue - to an extent. But things bend or break still. A lot of things don't work out of the box - video, audio, etc. And it's still an absolute pain to configure webcam drivers and make audio work 100% of the time.
- camus 14y agoHow do OSX manages to make make external sound devices or cameras work out of the box by the way ? i'm a musician and it is always a pain to install a new sound card on Windows , on Mac , you just plug it and it works...
- na85 14y agoOSX has a very narrow band of hardware and peripherals to worry about supporting, so they can afford to spend person-hours on device drivers and compatibility layers.
- thejosh 14y agoYeah. Ubuntu is starting to get really nice for installing and it just working. I install LXDE after installed Ubuntu, then get back to work. I've been running Ubuntu almost primarily since the start of 2006, with it being my main OS for over a year now. I have found Ubuntu to be perfect for my needs..
