Koos ❌Apr 17, 2017

I'm thinking of moving to #ubuntu because I'm tired of Windows updates breaking basic hardware support, e.g. wifi disconnects, USB devices not working, touchpad crashing. Honest #linux users: would I have similar issues with Linux?

I'm afraid there things would be even worse because fewer people use it and it will be harder to find solutions.

@koos I've been using #Ubuntu for a few years (first as dual boot then exclusively) and don't really recall ever having had any major problems with hardware support. give it a try!

@masu the 'major' part meaning it was easy to fix?

@koos I don't think I actually ever had to 'fix' anything - some things might not work at all but that's rare and usually easy to find out beforehand. the only times I had problems (such as the touchpad going crazy) they were fixed by turning the computer off and on :)
