I long for the day when a big-name manufacturer will step up there and provide fully open-source friendly laptops and desktops that are 100% supported by Linux. Even Apple computers have parts made by several different manufacturers, and are simply assembled under the Apple name and supported by Apple at the end of the production timeline. When it comes down to it, the various components that make up the PCs as a whole, each from a different manufacturer (mainboard, wifi card, video adapter, etc.), cause a significant roadblock to the above stated goal of 100% OSS compatibility.
#QUICKEN FOR MACBOOK AIR WINDOWS#
Dell has come close with its Ubuntu offerings, but they are nothing more than their “Designed for Windows Vista” systems that are the most compatible with Linux.
That very rarely happens but when it does (example: HP printers) it’s a wonderful thing.
#QUICKEN FOR MACBOOK AIR DRIVERS#
Of course, what we really want is for the manufacturers to not only provide native OSS drivers but also to support said drivers.
Attitudes need to change on both sides of the fence before we get really good drivers, whether binary and manufacturer-supported or OSS and community-supported. When both issues are present at once, usually with obscure but neccessary hardware, you end up with next to no support at all.
#QUICKEN FOR MACBOOK AIR DRIVER#
Lack of any open source developers interested enough in the particular hardware to write an OSS driver worth installing. Lack of the hardware manufacturer’s desire to write drivers for and/or support those OSes andĢ. The problem with support for any hardware at all on Linux and other non-monopoly operating systems can usually be attributed to one or both of the following:ġ. Saying that it’s the fault of hardware makers or of the linux kernel moving too fast is often used as a way to hide their shortcomings, which is not a courageous choice, nor is it going to improve things. You can find other numerous regression when it is indeed the fault of Ubuntu, some are unintentional, some are. In these case the developers knew exactly what they were doing and decided it was ok to play and mess up with user’s setup.
#QUICKEN FOR MACBOOK AIR CODE#
You seem to have misunderstood : that code was NOT included in the kernel, it was in an experimental branch. – the usb_suspend fiasco was due to a deliberate choice from Ubuntu, even though kernel developers warned about the code not being ready for inclusion in the kernel (but the Ubuntu dev went out and included it).
#QUICKEN FOR MACBOOK AIR SERIAL#
If your wacom system wasn’t working in feisty but is working in gutsy, it’s either because you upgraded, or because you got a serial one (or a tablet PC, since these function like serial tablets) – the wacom problem in Gutsy is that someone commented out wacom configuration in nf, so you have to manually edit the file to remove the comments. Yes you can in these both cases, because : You can’t blame distributions for those regressions It’s first production (1.0) release wasn’t until May 2007. Impossible, unless you consider a beta OS was ready for the masses (which counters your argument that it was the first by being a beta). I wish PCLinuxOS all the best, but with a name like that it’ll never become a household name like Ubuntu could.Įdit: Checking their website and finding the how-tos I don’t see how it’s any different from Ubuntu. The more the better.Īs for Mandrivia, does it even have a user base at all anymore? Sure, there are a lot of how-tos on the Ubuntu forums. I agree that Linux is capable of being a good OS for gaming, however it wasn’t until this month that ATI finally released a driver that wasn’t crap and that’s even up in the air based on my testing. PCLinuxOS while it may be OK, I don’t know anyone I mean ANYONE that’s either heard of it or used it. Ubuntu has an advantage, it’s a household name.
