Unfortunately, none of my TeknoParrot games run under Linux.

I try not to put much stock in black-and-white opinions because I think the answer is rarely that simple.

I wonder how they did not catch this

Because the date command fails most of its unit tests and they decided to ship it anyway. I would also argue they don't have anywhere near enough tests in the first place.

I think you’ll have an extremely hard time finding any hardware that supports Windows but can’t run linux

My previous laptop couldn't boot linux for like 2 years until kernel patches came out. It still to this day doesn't support bluetooth in linux due to an unfixed/wontfix kernel bug. And the wifi only uploads at 1mbps under linux.

By incompatible I don't mean "won't boot at all" (even though I've had that multiple times, including with my Surface tablet), but it's all the little stuff that often doesn't have a 100% working driver (either yet or at all). Maybe you don't experience this but there's still lots of people that do.

Personally, every game I care to run works perfectly fine on my Steam Deck

Almost none of my TeknoParrot games work under linux, no matter what version/patch/fork of wine/lutris/proton/etc. I try. Plus there's tons of people that still want to play those newer games with kernel-level anti-cheat, even if you don't.

5 reasons you should not ditch Windows:

  • Your hardware is incompatible or you do not want to fiddle with settings or command lines

  • Your applications/games only work well on native Windows (and not wine)

  • You need serious group policy support or other device/software lockdown methods

  • Your company policy requires it

  • Makes helping Windows users harder if you cannot walk them through the same things they are doing

Of course if any of these apply you can always dual-boot or use a VM. I'm not saying you shouldn't use Linux at all.

read it first

and if you're not a programmer and/or don't understand code?

Anything ever found from this point on then will just be sold on tor for top dollar to the highest bidder.

I assume this still requires the original ICs be acquired and soldered on?

Serious question: how much AI was used to make this?
