I wanted to give new life to an old acer laptop/tablet hybrid. I installed Linux, but the webcam and microphone just won't work no matter what. The power button also doesn't work.
There's still a long way to go before any casual user would accept this.
In the Netherlands, almost all houses have a thermostat. I don't know anyone that doesn't have one
Bold of you to assume I have someone cooking bacon for me in the kitchen
I installed MX Linux on an old tablet/ laptop with 2GB RAM AND 30GB storage. Works very well except for the webcam, but that's because the hardware is made so that only windows can use it correctly.
There's group accommodations all over Europe, we use them frequently with my family
What field do you work in?
Soon maybe not anymore
I need to use those drivers since I'm an avid gamer, so maybe Debian isn't the right one for me. I'll look into Mint. I'm not entirely new to the space, I've configured headless raspberry pi's and have a little home server, but I'm new to using it as a desktop environment.
So would that mean that Debian tends to be more stable?
Linux isn't that far behind anymore in terms of gaming. Business applications are a real issue though. I use Adobe Premiere Pro, as far as I know there's no good alternative on Linux
I just switched everything over to a European provider: cloud, email, office programs. I'm also seriously considering using Linux now
This was the result of much research, I'm not entirely new to the space. No one got these peripherals to work on that device, unfortunately.
I don't understand what you mean by this isn't an issue for most people. Most people do care about a webcam not working right. Or do jou mean my device isn't representative? That could be, but it doesn't mean people with this device have a good Linux experience if they install it.
