The only problem(s) I have on linux are either my own fault or because Tim Sweeney decides he wants to make it a problem.
Also, NVidia.
On my laptop with nvidia (msi, debian 12), if I unplug the charger the screen orientation goes from landscape to portrait, everything is tilted 90 degrees. I hate this laptop, so I rarely use it.
Doubly your fault for deciding to give that twat any time of your day
My wife loves fortnite, not much I can do tbh
As much as I hate him, a large majority of the games that are given away on that platform are fully DRM-free, and that’s pretty damn cool
at first i was baffled by the people reporting that they couldn’t get gpu and wifi to work; but them i remembered that my experience with those 2 made switch to buying from linux-only companies so long ago that i forgot that most people buy windows-only hardware to try linux on.
i have linux privilege. lol
I mean, a lot if people will have Nvidia hardware - which will limit your distro choices right from the start and if said green hardware is recent, well you’re fucked (for just a little while longer it seems).
As someone who wants to switch to Linux, what are some decent Linux-only companies you would recommend?
Framework makes laptops that are well supported and System76 desktops.
Is Framework another company like System76?
Not really. Most recommend Framework because their laptops are open to the point where third parties can make random peripherals that fit the expansion ports. They have a page to help with choosing a distro for their hardware as well. It’s great to see this level of open-ness and repairability in a laptop. Naturally, Linux users gravitate to such a brand.
System76 leverage their own distro, Pop!_OS as a selling point for their laptops, as they have some degree of control over the hardware and software.
The other maker I’d recommend is Tuxedo Computers who also maintain their own distro for hardware they sell.
The creator here buys hardware designed to run Linux ( from Tuxedo ) and uses the distro designed to run on that hardware. So no big surprise he thought all hardware problems were solved.
Probably a similar issue with office apps. He is not trying to share an Outlook calendars with coworkers or deal with complex spreadsheets sent from colleagues. He is probably not sending many PowerPoints to his boss.
Good on him for reaching out to his community to ensure his opinions are backed by evidence.
