That is what I meant by configure. You’re not going to HP to download your printer driver or realtek to get one for your network adaptor.
I mean… You can.
Just because Linux bundles a lot of drivers with your distribution doesn’t mean “drivers don’t exist”.
And it’s not only “closed source garbage”:
I invite you to take a peak at the “drivers” folder in the Linux kernel source tree.
There are absolutely drivers in Linux. This is nonsensical. That they are often bundled with the kernel makes no difference.
It doesn’t do storage. It puts it in SharePoint somewhere. Where? Nobody knows. You may find it someday and bookmark it. It will also show up in OneDrive and maybe even Outlook! Because Microsoft doesn’t believe in your concepts of “location” man.
Dad would be controlling the “thumper” with an app today.
I didn’t say it was tantamount to rape. Don’t try to make out that I’m saying anything like that. You know I’m not. Stop the absurdity.
sigh I love a good old internet “I didn’t say that - yes you did - no I said <blank> - you really meant <blank> though” bullshit argument…
I said “like it’s rape or something” - I didn’t say you’re saying it’s “tantamount to rape”. Settle down. I’m just talking about the language people use like they’re being personally violated by snaps.
Now show me on the doll where snap touched you…
I love how people say “forcibly installed” like it’s rape or something… You haven’t been violated, you’ve been, at worst, mildly inconvenienced.
I can understand people not preferring them. But the whole “forced on me” victim stuff is over the top.
Sure - but I guess I just don’t care? I don’t understand the snap hate. They work fine. Better than flatpaks even. I install some things from flatpak (desktop GUI only stuff) and some things from apt/snaps.
I guess it matters if you use GUI tools to install things. I almost never do so I hadn’t even noticed.
Flatpak works on Ubuntu…
I was wondering if there would be any conflict in having an AMD CPU and an Nvidia GPU.
No.
Just like in DOS. Most things worked with one setup - but you always had that weird game that needed the mtmcdas.sys driver rather than mtmcdae.sys driver or something.
Man, WINE really brings back the old experience of DOS with building different boot disks to run different programs and games.
I doubt it - it runs in an android sandbox. Why would they even bother? it’s easier to just create a filesystem “chroot” and use that. That way you get full read/write and control of versions.
Which still needs a wayland compositor to work, but I get your meaning now. You simply want it to be possible for there to be GUI support with some sort of wayland compositor.
I don’t think you know what you’re talking about… It’s a protocol. A document. You need some application that implements it. Like KWin, or Gnome.
…and a filesystem layout. They don’t install things to the “root” linux so they have their own /var, /bin, /usr, etc.
There’s no app called “Wayland”. So I’m not sure what you want “hooked up”.
My sense was that it’s kinda like cygwin. Just natively compiled apps and a filesystem layout.
What do you mean? Wayland isn’t “a thing”.
I love the arrogance of telling somebody what they mean even though that person clearly indicates it’s not what they mean. Like you know better what’s in my mind.
You’ve descended into “I just need to be right” now. No point discussing anything.
