PewDiePie made a video on why he installed Linux and explained why everyone should do it too. Due to his number of followers, this might be the year of the Linux Desktop? Hooray?

    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.

      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.

        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.
