Still nothing works out-of-the-box or without dropping to 1964 interfaces. Things still go wrong in 10^42 possible different places with every install. The community still floats on crypic linomages who are way too 1337 to explain things in common (or at all) Linux is still the OS that sits there being enigmatic and doing nothing while the user has to do everything. I have to think that there might be some improvement (not WIFI, alas) now that I bulleted it and rebooted.Īdmirable try of the author to try and NOT drop to commandline.Īlas, mentioned device manager of course never managed to start in my installation. Still, this is/was a fine post – somehow, a pretty big sounding “driver” (Intel CPU) was un-bulleted.

Even if the software stopped at a point where you’re told to go to XYZ website to download something, that would be a big improvement over what appears to be the case (I just upgraded to MINT 18 in the hope that the latest would be the greatest … or at least greater) currently. I’m no engineer, but if one inserts something (in my case a “dongle” that provides, via Windows, WIFI capability), recognizing that there’s a new something can’t be that difficult. Still, “open source” just might attract – even in 2017 – some talented individual or team to tackle this issue. There are obviously onerous limits on development when talent is volunteered and QC is very, very tough. My point is that LINUX is “the better way” for many people and orgs … but far from all. I just read an article that said that while Apple is clearly a VERY successful company, they seldom “get there first ” instead, they take a good idea (recognizing which ones are good is probably tougher than it may sound) and make it “enough better” to warrant doubling the price.
