I think you’ll have an extremely hard time finding any hardware that supports Windows but can’t run linux

My previous laptop couldn’t boot linux for like 2 years until kernel patches came out. It still to this day doesn’t support bluetooth in linux due to an unfixed/wontfix kernel bug. And the wifi only uploads at 1mbps under linux.

By incompatible I don’t mean “won’t boot at all” (even though I’ve had that multiple times, including with my Surface tablet), but it’s all the little stuff that often doesn’t have a 100% working driver (either yet or at all). Maybe you don’t experience this but there’s still lots of people that do.

Personally, every game I care to run works perfectly fine on my Steam Deck

Almost none of my TeknoParrot games work under linux, no matter what version/patch/fork of wine/lutris/proton/etc. I try. Plus there’s tons of people that still want to play those newer games with kernel-level anti-cheat, even if you don’t.

5 reasons you should not ditch Windows:

• Your hardware is incompatible or you do not want to fiddle with settings or command lines

• Your applications/games only work well on native Windows (and not wine)

• You need serious group policy support or other device/software lockdown methods

• Your company policy requires it

• Makes helping Windows users harder if you cannot walk them through the same things they are doing

Of course if any of these apply you can always dual-boot or use a VM. I’m not saying you shouldn’t use Linux at all.

What about Blink?

What non-big corporation makes mobile phones?

read it first

and if you’re not a programmer and/or don’t understand code?

I assume this still requires the original ICs be acquired and soldered on?

Serious question: how much AI was used to make this?

firmware

unveils LibrePhone

aims to create a fully free and open mobile platform

So it doesn’t actually exist? I cannot find any information about it at all.

Cue my lack of surprise when they realize there are no 5g compatible basebands with open firmware, and you can’t practically make your own.

I will be even less surprised that they probably won’t support 5g at all.

peerjs

no TURN

In other words, it will be broken for a huge amount of users, namely those behind CG or symmetrical NAT on both sides.

Oh really? I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info.

I don’t see many people talking about it.

Maybe because we have been doing it with DNS66 for 15 years now

Not on the list. If you search around online there are tons of threads of people having this same problem for many years now.

different ISPs, physical locations

I think this covers the IP question…

this is objectively worse than “thorn guy”.

I don’t understand how people are even able to use discord in the first place.

Every time I try to make an account, something goes wrong.

• endless captcha loops

• stuck in preview mode forever, no joins to a server ever succeed

• immediate inexplicable ban

• phonewalls right after creating account

• immediate ban after providing a real phone number, that has never been used for discord

• “our automated system is working correctly, appeal denied”

I have tried multiple different desktop computers, tablets and mobile devices, across different browsers, ISPs, physical locations and operating systems, with nothing in common and no VPN/proxy or anything like that. For years. It just does. not. work.

it will never pass in a million years, relax

nope I had it bookmarked

The burden of proof lies upon the person making empirically unfalsifiable claims.
