@urlyman Gates "shit software"
-- old-time acquaintance who worked in computers, to me:

"you even make your life hard for yourself by using Linux rather than Billgatesux " 🤣

He's got a point - even if the software sux, I still cant get perfectly good PC laptops to run either #bluetooth or #wifi because he had a "proprietary" firmware-driver deal with #Broadcom that's never been fully incorporated into the #linux system.

#BCM43142 wireless adapter. Fixes for earlier and other distro's dont seem to work down the line for me. Must be many other examples of this.

Sorry for flying off on this tangent on your thread.
