You see, hexbear has been moving towards :tux: for quite a while now and it's scaring the :LIB:s and the :fedposting:s so expect a lot of anti-Linux posting and just nod your head and don't engage :penguin-dance:

    Okay I'm already trolling but this reads like a 4chan linux hate thread.

    I've had some real fights with linux in the past but I get my self in trouble on purpose, I've never experienced things like this.

    I'm really curious what machine/device combo you're running that could cause you so much pain.

    The last time I experienced something like this was in 2009 when Ubuntu was still orange using a wifi dongle from 2005 and a machine from 2003.

        Huh. Typically if I'm buying a wireless adapter, I'll quickly google "<adapter model> linux" and if i see bad things I pick another. I've only bought two adapters in the last decade though, one a pci model for like 40 bucks.

            I mean it is very fair to want to try it out on what you have, and I'm sorry you had some pain in the ass hardware.

          if you want ones that don't require "binary blobs" to work, atheros chips are the ones to look for.
