Rare releases of the most popular Linux distributions and, as a consequence, the use of not the newest kernels introduces hardware compatibility problems for 13% of new users. The research was carried out by the developers of the https://Linux-Hardware.org portal based on the collected telemetry data for a year.
For example, the majority of new Ubuntu users over the past year were offered the 5.4 kernel as part of the 20.04 release, which currently lags behind the current 5.13 kernel in hardware support by more than a year and a half. Rolling-release distributions, including Manjaro Linux (with kernels from 5.7 to 5.13), offer newer kernels, but they lag behind the leading distributions in popularity.
The results have been published in the GitHub repository: https://github.com/linuxhw/HWInfo

what Linux distributions support Realtek RTL8821CE 802.11ac PCIe Adapter cause i can't seem to get any Linux distributions that support my WIFI adapter and i don't have an ethernet cable to connect to the internet that way.
the title sums up the question
Not looking for a distribution. I'm writing this post to put in front my personal opinions based on a lot of distro hopping since last 5 years. I very much appreciate improvement, criticism and corrections. Please note that all recommendations are made against an average desktop/laptop user and not target for use in enterprise, penetration testing, DevOps, etc. and other very specific use cases.
>>> What do you mean by three kinds?
Nothing official since there isn't a centralized standard. GNU/Linux is a community. But anyways, this categorization and the terminology is solely my own. I categorize GNU/Linux distributions into three kinds
on the basis of dependency listed as follows:
- Independent - Distributions that compile and package software from upstream and maintain their own repositories independently. Eg. Debian, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Arch, NixOS etc.
- Based - Distributions that maintain their own repositories but instead of compiling, packaging and maintaining software, they simply import majority of the packages from another distribution. Eg. Ubuntu, Manjaro, Kali, Parrot, etc.
- Overlay - Distributions that use base repository of another distribution and add their own repository on top of it for additional or custom made packages. Eg. Linux Mint, MX Linux, EndeavourOS, Pop!_OS, elementary, Garuda, KDE neon, Zorin, Artix etc.
on the basis of release model as follows:
- Rolling - The packages continuously receive updates throughout and there aren't separate repositories for different version of packages. Eg. Arch, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Artix etc.
- Short Term Support (STS) - The version of packages are frozen at a particular time and only receive bug fixes and security updates (or other critical updates like a version going EOL) throughout the supported period (in months). Eg. Ubuntu Interim, Fedora, etc.
- Long Term Support (LTS) - Same as Fixed Release (LTS) but the support period is generally from in years (3,5,10, etc.). Eg. RHEL, Ubuntu LTS, OpenSUSE Leap, etc.
Fedora is technically an STS distro but practically lies between Rolling and STS since the core packages keep rolling throughout the support period and rest remain fixed.
Also note that RHEL is technically a downstream(Based) to CentOS Stream which is further Based on Fedora ELN.
Fedora ELN > CentOS Stream > RHEL
But since all three projects essentially work hand and hand under one umbrella org

METHODOLOGY: I've ignored addresses with public tag (exchanges, liquidity, burn addresses) and contract addresses
OPINION: When a coin is new or has few holders, it is normal for the tokens to be concentrated in a few wallets, however if there are a large number of holders, a few wallets owning a large portion may or may not be a cause for concern.

Hi, I'm searching for books, articles, or any other kind of infromation sources on business models that companies developing linux distros use, or could use.
I've been looking for these with keywords like linux/freemium/business models/companies and by looking for specific companies directly, but i haven't found much. Is there anyone here, by any chance, who knows of such works, and can reccomend me some? I'm a student of economics and I need some sources for my thesis.
Out of curiosity, I wanted to know how do manufacturers contribute to the kernel.
Do they write the drivers and submit pull requests to modify the linux kernel so that it supports their device?
and do the different distros of linux strip out uncommon device drivers to make the kernel a little less bulky?
This is kind of a follow up to my previous graph of Twitter followers/Subreddit users. It is the number of recent visitors to each distribution's official website, according to SimilarWeb's estimations.
This does not necessarily reflect market share, it only reflects how many people viewed the websites, nothing more.

For testing the FPS, I will be using this script. I will also be testing the FPS at the edge of smoke, as that is where my FPS suffers the most. All the below tests were performed using de_dust2, with exactly the same settings at a resolution of 1920 x 1080.
LINUX BENCHMARK RESULTS:
| Run # | Avg Framerate |
|---|---|
| 1 | 146.25 |
| 2 | 114.61 |
| 3 | 118.74 |
LINUX FPS AT EDGE OF SMOKE:
| No. of smokes | FPS (using net_graph) |
|---|---|
| 1 | 70 - 80 |
| 2 | 60- 70 |
WINDOWS BENCHMARK RESULTS:
| Run # | Avg Framerate |
|---|---|
| 1 | 146.73 |
| 2 | 166.83 |
| 3 | 165.96 |
WINDOWS FPS AT EDGE OF SMOKE:
| No. of smokes | FPS (using net_graph) |
|---|---|
| 1 | 98-110 |
| 2 | 85-95 |
From the tests I did, windows seems to be getting much better FPS than on Linux. Why's that? I don't fully know the reason, but I suspect its due to my GPU being GCN 1.0 OR me having fucked up my gpu by loading the wrong kernel driver, as I'm confused between choosing radeon or amdgpu for my particular setup.
It would be appreciated if anyone could offer some insight as to why my framerates are so low compared to Windows and offer solutions. Thanks in advance!

1.Ubuntu : If you have only fiddled with linux without getting too deep in to then this door you should take. (Linux mint is on sam level)
-
Fedora : I think it requires a better understanding of linux.
-
OpenSUSE : Has sophisticated installer. Using it is a more little intimidating.
-
Arch : Mildly difficult and can be a stepping stone in to the realm of difficult to use linux distros. Follows Rolling Release philosophy which means instead of having to install a new version of os ,the os components are updated.
-
Gentoo : Just like Arch but instead of downloading packages, it downloads package sources and compiles them on your machines.
-
Slackware : One of oldest distros and is nowhere close to being famous. If you have patience to master this one then all other distros seems simpler.
-
LFS : Linux from scratch is not a distro. Method of creating your own. If you can pull this off, then you have mastered linux. You have to compile your kernel, tool chain, compiler and other essential components. Then you continue compiling and later creating partition, dump your compiled binaries on to new partition and finally set up the bootloader. If you can get it to work exactly the you wanted, then you are one of those Linux walking wikies.
I like the default vanilla gnome but I don't like the DNF in fedora. If there is a linux distribution out there that offers default vanilla gnome but with apt , I would like to know.
