The current system on trial is eeebuntu 2.0 NBR which is thankfully working, but took far more effort and googling that should be normal to correct terrible ‘Linux-isms’ like not being able to auto-login (deafult option during install) and connect to the wireless without prompting for the keychain password. It has the potential to be everything Linux is not and will never be–standard, stable, well-integrated, and easy to use. Here’s hoping Opensolaris gets polished and gets more basic drivers. True, the end-users don’t care about the stable ABI in and of itself, but they do care that version x of their software, as long as it says it’s compatible with some version of Linux, can run on their system without any messing about.
ACER DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS 10 ASPIRE INSTALL
There’s no standard packager (choose from rpm, deb, tgz, source, etc), no standard ABI, and no standard way to install drivers, and the end-user experience falls on its face. Even if Canonical goes one way with Ubuntu, the individual projects may pull in another direction, and it doesn’t change the fact that there are very few standards. I think some companies, like Canonical, understand this and yet there’s not much they can do, all things considered. Linux was designed by a hobbiest, for hobbiests and geeks. Hmm, which has the easier experience, you think? And that’s not even considering how you find out if there is even a driver for your said device, and where to get it. Then add it to any hal policies or boot-time module loading. Then perform the steps to install the driver, Read its installation file for the required steps needed to compile, You know what you do on Linux when it comes to a driver you don’t have? If you’re lucky, it’s in your distribution’s repository and it’s up to date.
ACER DRIVERS FOR WINDOWS 10 ASPIRE HOW TO
Tech support gets called, as often as not, for simple questions about how to connect to their home wireless. Know why the tech support lines are there? Because most people don’t care, and don’t want to, about how to fix their computer or evenhow to perform an unfamiliar task. Boom, 99% of the time your driver is ready and installed. You know what you do? You go to the vendor’s web site, or better yet insert the provided driver disk, and click a few buttons. Most hardware requires drivers, and any system can experience some unforseen problem. No, things don’t “just work” on Windows or OS X (though OS X is often better at just working than Windows due to its tightly controlled hardware requirements). It’s fine for geeks or other enthusiasts, but when it comes to the end-user experience it is severely lacking. Guess what? It was given a chance, and it fails because it lacks end-user polish. Ah, here we go, more off-topic trolling about how Linux just needs to be given a chance.
