is he a famous boxer or something?

What’s the box thing?

Thank you.

Thank you

Thanks for your Sane advise.

Heading towards nearest clothing shop right now, sir.

Thank You.

it reminds me I’m putting proprietary crap in the machine.

Agreed.

Can be a pain in the ass when the wifi doesn’t work because some proprietary firmware is missing, and the laptop doesn’t have an Ethernet port so off you go to buy a usb-eth adaptor.

happened to me too. Lame mediatek doesn’t have drivers for Linux.

I don’t understand, If Pop OS, Nobara, Bazzite can, why not all distros? Is it a philosophical reason to not include proprietary drivers?

But, what about some Distros have NVIDIA Versions, Which come with proprietary Drivers? Like Nobara, Bazzite, Pop OS…?

They don’t have legal issues?

I think its because the country they are based on. I also heard that VLC has lots of codecs (even proprietary ones), because it’s origin country doesn’t restrict them to use proprietary codecs.

I’m using Mint. It doesn’t install proprietary Nvidia drivers along the system install. But provides a slick Driver manager where you download proprietary Drivers without any hassle. It does include nouveau during install though.

So, it’s just the philosophy of FOSS stopping distros from using proprietary?

Does this mean upcoming distros can have the drivers inbuilt? NVIDIA Cards working out of the box? I’m Out of the Loop.

Thank You.

Thank you.

Thank you.

So you suggest not to mount like the guy above said /home/stoy/videos ?

And suggest symlinks instead?

🥇

Linux doesn’t care where you mount your drives, they can be mounted anywhere you want.

Thank You

Thank You.
