Sort of annoying, given that Linux has been around for 30 years or so, powers _all_ of the top 100 supercomputers (last time I looked) and is the most installed kernel in the world (Android uses it). Still, nobody feels there is a point in supporting it. Well ok, Intel GPU support tends to be comparatively useful. And the class-compliant part of class-compliant devices tends to work. But somehow that's not all too different from the state 20 years ago. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
