What makes you think that?
I don't know how to answer that. Because most hardware is not compatible.
It isn't fundamentally incompatible, there is just a lack of drivers.
You don't need new hardware, you need driver support.
I think they meant you'd have to design a combination of hardware that's all compatible with Linux - that is, that has Linux driver support.
I'm not really so concerned with how it's incompatible...
The only thing that is lacking for compatibility is drivers. If that's what you meant you should have said so instead of saying hardware needs to be designed. If that's not what you meant then you don't know what you're talking about.
I see that person everywhere. 2k comments in 3 months. They genuinely do not know much of anything. I tagged them as "bad faith actor/unintelligent". Best to avoid engaging with them.
Yeah probably lol
If the hardware doesn't have drivers then it's incompatible 🤷
You're just embarrassing yourself at this point.
Explain how I'm wrong or go away. Your unwarranted personal insults are not welcome.
EZ. Your original totally incorrect comment that you're trying to pretend didn't mean what it obviously meant.
You don't have to design hardware you have to write drivers.
It's OK to admit you're wrong.
I'm not pretending anything. And I'm not gonna continue engaging with you with this completely unnecessary tone. You don't know what you're talking about. Goodbye.
If you're so sensitive to being corrected the easy way to avoid it is to simply not create misinformation in the first place.
