“Huh, what?” - Linux user with broken audio driver

[–] [email protected] 27 points 10 months ago (1 children)

2003 called, they want their joke back

My xps 9570 has broken audio drivers on Linux. Dell laptops usually have better linux support than most. 2003 wants its OS back...

And Windows won't install on my Raspberry Pi.

I guess it's a shit OS?

Hardware is not Linu'x fault. Thinkpads are best

My thinkpad running Linux has an issue every week. I've run into more issues in my short career than I have with a lifetime of using windows. But it's always something else's fault eh

That is the fault of your distribution. One of the most user-friendly distros you can use is Linux Mint. If you are using that one and still get an obvious error, then you should report it so it can be fixed.

So always something else's fault, got it 👍

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Someones elses fault? I literally said your Linux distribution. Are you stupid?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

audio driver support in Linux is good enough these days.

and if it doesn't work in your specific hardware, that's your hardware's fault and not Linux's.

It's like buying a Raspberry Pi and saying "windows doesn't work". You've acquired the wrong hardware.

Linux kernel is huge, I bet it has support for more audio devices than Windows or MacOS, as it is used not only on PCs.
