Re: I am genuinely shocked
To be far.. I never had problems getting something as basic as a Fingerprint Reader on my Lappy, to just work under Windows. On Linux Mint... After a fresh install. It can be quite the fiscking chore. That said, most of the stuff I like to use, primaraly being Darktable, and Gimp (i.e. Open Source versions of Lightroom, and Photoshop), are pretty much at home on Linux any how. And, I'm not about to touch anything less than Enterprise grade Windows X. But, good luck trying to get a personal Copy of Slurps latest. Hackentosh was kinda cool for Five minutes, back in 2009. So that leaves me with either FreeBSD, which I still havent tried, or Linux. Of which I'm more famillure with the Debian structure. So my go to Disto in that case would be Mint.
Mores the pitty that I can NOT seem to install it properly unless I cut my WiFi off compleatly. Which also kinda sucks major balls.
