Seems like people just don’t care.

    All this detail points to one obvious conclusion: some people are just destined to have their PII harvested on Windows. Good luck little buddy!

    Exhaustive research was conducted on an impressive sample size of… one single device.

    …and the provided details are astounding.

    Because hardware manufacturers don’t care about 4% market share. They just don’t. They can’t survive by pandering to that 4%, and it costs them time and money to make decent hardware drivers for linux.

    Sad truth of it.

      With the linux server market share and recent ai boom, theyd have to be more than just blind deaf and dumb to not release linux drivers.

      Maybe this was true back in like the early 2000’s?

            It’s not trust me bro at all. That’s the situation we’re currently in. So if these businesses would be “crazy” to leave all this money on the table and they currently are, what does that say to you?

            I know critical thinking is hard, but try.

              Wait, so what is this supposed situation we’re currently in?

              I’m struggling to understand your version of reality.

                I can’t for the life of me understand how you’re having a difficulty understanding this to begin with…

                You said that at 4% market share they would be idiots to not break their backs chasing that 4% in revenue but were there right now and they’re not breaking their back at all they’re hardly doing anything…

                The entirety of your statements that you’ve said so far are verifiably incorrect because they are the reality that we’re living right now. I’m not the one that struggling with reality buddy, that’s you.

        I don’t disagree, but at the same time, circle back to my original statement. Even if every single *nix user were to only use open source drivers, that’s still not enough. 4% of the market share isn’t going to change anyone’s mind about *nix support.

          4% of US alone is 12 million people.

          If even 25% of them decide hardware purchases based on driver support, 3 million sales isn’t ignorable.

          (The number of PCs sold globally per year is similarly 300,000,000, so even then theyd lose out on 12 million potential sales YEARLY)

          The market is also pretty shit post-covid, so I’m sure every hardware company is dying for a way to boost sales metrics.

            The market share is already there and there not doing open source drivers, so I guess you’re empirically wrong. I dunno what else to tell ya.

                Nobody said they’re not. Jesus. You get really upset when someone points out that you’re wrong, don’t you?

                Fact of the matter is, is that *nix is less than 4% of the market, and they’re not going to upset the market for that 4%. It will eventually get bigger, but until it does, there’s not a lot of hope.

                This is the year of the linux desktop.

    It’s literally been working just fine for like a decade? Even for NVIDIA users that’s kind of a stretch.

    Maybe if you share more details about your issues and your setup we can help fix it.

    is this issues with encode/decode? it was finicky to set up on my nvidia setup as well, and getting Firefox to work with it was another nightmare
