This was just two weeks ago, and it’s a relatively old device, from 2014. It’s proprietary bullhonky all over that device unfortunately, from the screen brightness to the webcam to the bloody power button.

Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 weeks agoOr do jou mean my device isn’t representative?
Yes, this. Most devices it just works, and a small minority will work with a little effort. A miniscule number will be like yours. It isn’t representative of the average experience. It’s an outlier.
Out of curiosity, how long ago was this? It very well may have the support now, though if it’s from some manufacturer using proprietary drivers for their webcams, for some crazy stupid reason, then maybe not.

It depends about what you plan to do with your computer it’s not the best music, graphisms, streaming, …even if there are solid improvements. Usually you will get more chance with an old device than a brand new one.

Most of manufacturers use windows drivers, due to the market share it is realistic. It is plug and play and work like a charm. After years of using Linux half of the devices will never work on it, mostly because nobody cares. The other half will need tuning to be usable if you are lucky. 2% will ready for Linux.
