Other industries with legal compliance are telecommunications, the medicinal industry and the industry around delivering software to the armed forces - all of which I don't know specifics, but I know that people who work on the BSDs have been hired by subcontractors of those, because they worked on the BSDs. One thing they all have in common is that they're required by law or contract to keep things secret. Needless to say, none of it is verifiable, but that's the nature of these things.

He also claimed that running apt-get on Manjaro starts a download for some dependency that quietly fails, I've never heard of this and when I tried it myself I just get a "command not found" like expected so I have no idea what he's talking about. His github problems was funny as well, him downloading a html file and then being confused about that had me laughing. I can certainly understand github being confusing for some people but you can just look up how to download stuff from there. As someone with a youtube-channel dedicated to computers I would expect him to know stuff like this but... whatever

the whole thing about linus is he just does poo poo without knowing what he's doing and frequently makes a mess because of it. someone said he's tim "the toolman" taylor, and that's 100% spot on

Linus is an idiot but that makes him a good test case for Linux. if a complete dipshit can’t run your OS without something basic like sound working then it’s busted rear end garbage

sound in linux worked before the ac97 chipset when everything was soundblaster/ess compatible, and then a while after after the ac97 chipset, when it was supported.

Real talk: In the several decades I have been using Linux on my desktop, sound has never been an issue. Especially after kernel 2.4 (when OSS was replaced with ALSA and you could play sound from multiple sources AT THE SAME TIME!!!!)  Not once have I had to mess with config files, or compile drivers, or deal with third-party garbage. Sound has always just.. worked. Edit: I want to be clear that is on the desktop. Laptop sound has sometimes been a nightmare. FlapYoJacks fucked around with this message at 06:24 on Nov 28, 2021 |

yeah. laptops will often have lovely OEM chips packaged that have a single 10 year old windows driver for them and nothing else ever, so if your laptop model isn't popular enough to have been used by some other linux nerd who went through the trouble of fixing it, it won't work. see also: wifi luckily OEMs can't into their own GPUs, but that doesn't mean they won't try to make your life hard on that front too. i remember sony having custom geforce pci device IDs, and again only having 5 year old drivers for windows available lmao. at least unlike on windows, forcing the nvidia driver to load anyway was trivial i guess

Indeed, and now that AMD GPUs have mainline kernel drivers, I haven't had any GPU issues in over two years. It's wonderful.

After a decade+ of using desktop (laptop) Linux I've bought a MacBook. Hardware is really nice, software has some unexpectedly rough edges Kind of hilarious that macs have their own little third-party paid shitware ecosystem like windows used to. People don't see anything wrong with having to buy and install proprietary tools to add missing features to the OS  The way you install (non- app store) software by mounting a disk image and then dragging the application onto a shortcut to the /Applications directory is something straight out of the 90s Really makes me realize how good I had it in many respects with gnome + almost everything you want being in the distro's own first party package manager
