  You’d have to design hardware specifically that’s compatible with Linux

  What makes you think that?

    I don’t know how to answer that. Because most hardware is not compatible.

      It isn’t fundamentally incompatible, there is just a lack of drivers.

      You don’t need new hardware, you need driver support.

        I think they meant you’d have to design a combination of hardware that’s all compatible with Linux - that is, that has Linux driver support.

        I’m not really so concerned with how it’s incompatible…

      The only thing that is lacking for compatibility incompatible is drivers. If that’s what you meant you should have said so instead of saying hardware needs to be designed. If that’s not what you meant then you don’t know what you’re talking about.

        I see that guy everywhere. 2k comments in 3 months. He genuinely does not know much of anything.

  they already exist, the (software) interface is what needs work.
