Re: New machine?
Says enough about quality of Linux desktop, isn't it ?
You seem to have missed the point.
"Stomeshop" said that controls for power, brightness, WiFi, etc were working under Linux. Not because that is at all remarkable in itself but because "x 7", further up the thread had pointed out that these things can be difficult to get working if you perform a clean reinstall of Windows, because it can be hard to identify and obtain the correct drivers for OEM hardware.
It is actually pretty remarkable that Linux usually gets all the hardware working straight out of the box with no support or assistance from the manufacturer ... and this makes it doubly tragic that it can be so hard to correctly reinstall the manufacturer-supplied OS.
Do try and keep up at the back, rather than taking cheap shots at posts you haven't properly understood.
