@lemmy.mlMy logitech mx master 3 works instantly on fedora with all it's features. I also have various wired and worless keyboards and mouses that work instantly on Fedora.
For same mouse on windows, I need to wait for it to download and install outs drivers.
Maybe you got things confused or are using LinuxFromScratch or something.
Generally, when things work on windows, it is the effort of whomever made the device or software. Microsoft generally does not develop drivers. However, when things work on GNU/Linux it is the effort of GNU, Linux, or the community. The manufacturer probably did nothing. This simply explains why we are generally relaxed or "give Linux too much benefit of the doubt relative to the “things that just work”".
So fairly comparing a Linux distro to raw windows, Linux is better. When you install a distro, things just work, when you install windows, most stuff do not work and you need to complete setup. Unless you use tools provided by the manufacturer, but then again, it is same story.
Not really weired. For example, a keyboard has a firmware. 99% of keyboards have no way of it being updated or changed. It is part of its electronics. So not a big deal. But, if a keyboard has a way to update the firmware or install another one, then it should be FOSS.
It could be monetized by showing regular ads next to content a and disguised adds as content. Also, if using the federated API, they could push some sponsored content desgized as such.
This cannoy be applied to the whole fediverse but only to instances whose owners a want monetization.
I am sure that if implemented, someone would make it work on mobile apps and others while showing a setting to "disable ads". And there would be forks that block adds by default etc.
Maybe have a look. At what Threads are doing.
I tried this in the past and it does not seem a good option. Letting a smartphone record 24/7 would make it melt maybe.
Thanks. this opens up more devices to choose from. So products like hikvison are a candidate for me now.
