After promising everyone this Windows on ARM launch was totally different than the previous ones, turns out it’s not.
Makes sense to continue the support since these components may be reused in other systems.
Instead of wasting time on supporting bullshit hardware that almost nobody owns and will be forgotten in about 6 months, what about placing some effort into real hardware that real people want to use like tablets? Fucks sake.
Update: just to make it clear, I own no hardware of that type, it’s not “doesn’t work on my hardware” type of situation. It is that everyone likes to talks about Linux desktop (including Canonical) yet nobody puts any effort into going into the tablet market that is where Linux can have a real advantage (because ARM + full desktop OS experience) and get a real user base.
There is nothing stopping you from putting the effort in. Why don’t you pick some hardware and start working on building support for it?
If your hardware ain’t working maybe there’s barrier to devs working on it caused by the designer/manufacture. Or we have not paid them enough for it to be worth their time?
It’s not “my hardware” it is that everyone talks about Linux desktop yet nobody puts any effort into going into the tablet market that is where Linux can have a real advantage (because ARM + full desktop OS experience) and get a large user base.
