Did they choose debian? IIirc they tried rolling their own release based on debian and quickly fell behind.
Faulty project management is spot on tho. No control of what hw they were working with. Should anyways have started with 5 years of requiering new hardware to be linux compatible. To weed out the worst win-only-devices
Could’ve written their own drivers, and shared them with the rest of the world on GitHub!
Reverse engeneering blackbox drivers without vendor support is insanly time and resource consuming. And would instantly remove any economic sense in their project.
I was obviously joking. I know it’s pain because I’ve tried getting my unsupported fingerprint reader working to no avail.
I’m not sure how things were really, since across the years the message has changed.
In the initial “we failed, let’s revert to Win” times, Debian was named. I remember those times and news well, since I made a bunch of flamewars on both Debian and Ubuntu forums concerning the choice, especially since I myself had similar - hardware compatibility - issues in our corporate environment and I perceive the choice of distro as equally puzzling and idiotic.
Exactly.
Or, they should check what hardware they need to replace on the spot and how much it’d cost.
