You think with apples human resources they couldn’t write the software to get their hardware to work?



Okay but now you are expecting them to manage another OS? Im with you on allowing more freedom, but to expect them to maintain linux for tablets?


Software for hardware components is not like maintaining a linux distro.

I don’t want to ignite programming language wars but, seriously, would it be that hard to get the current software “compatible” with a linux setup?

If it is that hard then fire the software “engineers” and hire ones who will do a better job.


Yes? Have you ever touched any code or wtf are you talking about? Literally every component’s driver has to be rewritten for a different operating system.
