How are Linux and BSD installs "hacked"?
Open-source Unix has for decades been one of the most contiguous, cohesive, and consistently packaged software experiences in all of computer history.
I don't really get your point here.
- pjmlp 14y agoMy point was the effort required 10-15 years ago to install Linux and BSD distributions into any off-the-self computer.
- jonhohle 14y agoCertainly 10 years ago and debatably 15 years ago Linux already had graphical installers and more comprehensive out of the box drivers (in certain distros) than Windows. Mandrake, RedHat, SuSe were all very user friendly around the turn of the century. BSDs took a little more work, but were relatively friendly to install and worked on a wide variety of hardware around that time as well.
- pjmlp 14y agoIF you had the right hardware.
