When using Linux, we always risk to make expensive mistakes regarding to software-hardware-compatibility. OTOH regarding to ethics, the risk is very low :p, just avoid installing Ubuntu, that by default installs spyware. Regarding to software-hardware-compatibility I made much better experiences with hardware from vendors, who pointed out, that they don't care about Linux, than with hardware from vendors who claimed that their hardware does work with Linux or with hardware recommended by Linux communities. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
