Re: The “Windows Just Works” BIG fallacy

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I know that everybody here loves Linux but theres one difference on Windows that we can't beat. Most os PC's comes with Windows pre-installed and all drivers working.

At least here, when I see Linux preinstalled, most of time is a "obscure" distribution not well maintained in very old hardware configuration.

Does't matter the reasons, people get impression that Windows is better because "it works". Yes, it is a fallacy but a fallacy hard to explain for people that buy a computer that don't  works well because comes with "Linux" preinstalled.

What could fix this problem is a restriction on use of Linux trademark.

Now do the same when what's missing is networking drivers. Personally
seen this multiple times on multiple systems.
