  1. Re:Linus is completely wrong... on Is The Linux Desktop In Trouble? (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Using new hardware? Where you had to use drivers not supported on said older but still supported distro? Because they support them so your older hardware doesn't become useless or run like shit with the new versions. If you get new hardware(like when I built my Ryzen desktop) I had to use a newer version of $favOS to get drivers and kernel that were supported by the OS version, as to not have to work for 15 hours on configuring the old system to run on new hardware. A lot can change when you install a new kernel. And a lot of packages may have needed to be changed to work properly. So say you do this on an old OS version. It is going to break a lot of things and cause the kernel to panic and stop running. Hopefully this helps.

    Typically if you stick to only stock distro repositories you have none of these issues, because its tested by the developers. You only have nvidia/kernel issues if you install new kernel versions that don't have or have changed something major in the headers. That being said, you can end up with old drivers and kernels if you stay on an OS too long, I just went through this with debian 9. I ended up installing the testing version SID/Buster. Which works great, and has all the new driver versions I wanted. I even installed my custom kernel with 0 issues because the Nvidia package maintainers had correct kernel modules built.

    Or you could you know, do like Windows and pick for them and not tell them there is options. But then you don't get to complain, so it makes sense that you wouldn't do that.

    That's why I love the fact that Las Vegas made it legal to wax pedestrians that are J walking or crossing without a proper signal. People kept having to fight manslaughter cases because people would just step out into the street to cross without looking for cars. You see a lot less of it now.
