imo word censoring should be reserved for the most disgusting words like mic*osoft
how do you see complaints like this helping fix hardware support issues?
it's not like people don't know that wlan support on linux isn't great, or that nvidia drivers are bad, it's just that the community doesn't have enough resources to fix them.
if we want real fixes we need to either have the companies making these products start writing drivers for linux, or more volunteers writing drivers, neither of which sound like something that'll come soon.
I've honestly rarely seen negative responses to posts actually asking for help (at least here), the only reason people are responding to this post negatively is because OP's post can sound arrogant and ignorant.
ignorant because they are restating a common complaint that everyone's heard many times already (that some devices have bad support) and arrogant because they are pointing the blame at volunteers rather than the companies making those products that don't support linux, volunteers that a lot of people here respect
I'm sure the responses would've been very different if it was a post asking for help rather than a post of complaints
i mean Bluetooth never works well on any hardware in my experience, I always just avoid it like the plague
probably just a badly supported network card/chip, have you considered getting a better supported one?
this looks like a very skewed statistic, ofc the us looks bad because there's only the most civilised European countries, Australia and the us included
is like half the heft
that's exactly why I use an old thinkpad, they're much more solid than newer ones and are a lot more modular/durable/easy to repair because every component is bulkier.
the community you posted this on also has a pinned weekly linux help thread: https://programming.dev/post/19443450
oh yeah the quad core upgrade is great, browsers run so much better with a 3632qm than the stock 3320m. Also, although everyone says the delta cooler (the nice quiet one on the t430) is insufficient with the quad core, it works perfectly fine in my experience with fresh thermal paste
idk, never worried about it but my main computer doesn't have it so I just passively use that for important things
on ios there's orion browser which is still webkit based but supports firefox extensions like ublock
unfortunately it's prolly never going to be foss, the devs said they were working on making it foss 2 years ago and they haven't done anything
