LinuxFriendlyHardware™.

Also, read here as to why sometimes it’s impossible to write a decent driver without essentially rewriting a significant part of X.org or whatever else your interface is: http://tinyurl.com/4urlll

So yeah, as long as your hardware’s manufacturer has 1)Worked/rewritten it’s way around the mess that is X.org/PulseAudio/whatever and 2) Has opened their specifications as demanded by the church or the Holy GNU, everything will work fine.

Newsflash, Adam Retard King, most hardware available for sale out there is NOT LinuxFriendly, it’s WinbredHardware. Even boutique manufacturers like System76 ship systems with parts that require ebil binary blobs.

What hardware are you using anyway? A 6 year old desktop? Sure, as long as you use a desktop with a SoundBlaster 128, no Wifi or Bluetooth, and an old Nvidia card, everything will work fine. But on laptops, it’s horrible. Even on the System 76 ones. Sometimes even the fan speed is not correct.

PROVE ME WRONG kid by posting a modern x86-64 (non-mac) laptop that works with correctly with Linux.

without upgrade-killing binary blobs, that is.

On my 2009 Dell Laptop (E4330) :

- My soundcard works for an hour before giving strange sounds. – scanner (Agfa) is recognized since last year ! wow, especially consideringg I purchased it in 2001 – IR remote controler (iMon) doesn’t works. I found a driver to compile which only put a complete mess in my dependencies without any noticeable result on the remote. – SD card reader (integrated) is not recognized – The computer freezes when I plug or unplug it on the docktstation (official from Dell). I need to shut it down before. – phone is not recognized at all – 3G card (integrated) is more or less recognized, but not the sim inside – Wacom tablet is recognized as a mouse. no pressure, interesting to draw.. – Bluetooth mouse doesn’t retain settings (need to associate regularly)

But yeah. It JustWorks, for sure. If you have absolutely no exigencies.

And as always, Adam will now crawl back into his hole, and in a month or so, when he posts the same argument, we ll be correcting him again.

I am starting to think Adam is not really a linux fan, just a jerk who loves to troll.

Gambit,

You must have WinbredHardware™.

Declined.

@Adam_King

I have hardware on sale in stores.

So that means we stores sells WinbredHardware ? interesting, that would explains everything.

So where should I find LinSuxHardware certified ? In 90’s dumps ?

Go bitch at your hardware company for not supporting Linux, or return the garbage. I don’t have any problems with my hardware, so don’t act like it’s not possible to have a working GNU/Linux desktop because millions of people do.

Linux is the 1%

It’s linux which should support the hardware I buy, not the contrary.

I don’t want to buy only Linsux-certified hardware (if only it exists ? shwos me a store of linux certified hardware).

I want to buy the hardware I want, the hardware which please me, without having to think about the compatibility of the OS on my computer.

Windows allows me to buy whatever I want.

Linux not.

@Adam:

“Go bitch at your hardware company for not supporting Linux, or return the garbage.”

You do realise that this directly contradicts your TM, don’t you?

Since “Winbred Hardware” doesn’t support Linux, I presume that you returned the garbage?

Or did you just take a spare moment out of your magnificent Linux SysAdmin job, replete with unrestricted spare time to finally Learn Calculus and Hello World, and re-solder your desktop in a MagicPixieDust™ way that supports Linux?

Well, WorksForYou™, I suppose.

In unrelated news, tens of thousands of thoroughly pissed-off consumers and protesters converged today on a small island just south of the Kremlin today to bitch and whine about their unrepresentative and oligarch-ridden government.

If you squint … if you squint really, really hard … you can just see a whiny little nob-head in the background with a huge, hand-written sign (he would have programmed it in C and printed it out via CUPS, but, ya know) reading:

“I won’t buy it unless it is fully committed to Gnu/Linux!”

It’s the wave of the future, I’m telling you.

@Gamit

Good for you bro. I’ll stick with GNU/Linux because overall it’s a better operating system.

How about you stopping pushing Agroprop™ and trying to tell a SINGLE thing that doesn’t suck technically?
