Windows 11 vs Linux supported HW - Lemmy

Wha? Even a bleeping potato can run Linux nowadays, with zero issues at day 1.

t. Got a Orange pi zero 3, and the lil’ bastard is rocking solid – even with (near zero) support.

Imagine not having all your drivers baked in into your kernel
Imagine not knowing about kernel modules 🤣
shit like this comment thread is why regular people use windows. who the fuck wants to learn about this kind of stuff when you can just point and click? especially when the people who should be helping you post brain-dead self-congratulatory shit like this
What a weirdly specific thing to get mad about.

smug senses of superiority in the FOSS community?

amazing... no wonder linux use has only grown if you include the steam deck and closed off governmental systems

The reason Linux only grew with the Steam Deck is because an operating system only grows if it’s preinstalled on a popular device. Average users do not install their own OS. If you were actually in tune with average users, you would know this. It has nothing to do with Linux users making jokes amongst themselves.
