That is correct. However, it is not half as complicated as people think,
especially if doing such a trivial change. Here's a guide to do just that I
wrote while I was using Debian.

Have you written to the manufacturer and clearly indicated you wish to
use this hardware on GNU/Linux?
It's important to do this so they get an indication of such demand.
I have been forced to use Ubuntu on my Toshiba notebook because Trisquel
won't recognize its graphics card (AMD A8-3500M based).
When I boot from CD it comes up to a command line. Ctrl+Alt+F7 reveals this

Here are my few cents:
If you want full compatibility with best featureset under free license then
stick to Intel. In general Intel will be quite pricy compared to AMD CPUs.

The different pages I found about the Xonar STX didn't show any external

not need any firmware.
I am pretty confident the card will work without issues.

While Samsung will certainly suffer lost sales from the issuance of an
injunction, the hardship to Apple of having to directly compete with
Samsung’s infringing products outweighs Samsung’s harm
I agree Dave. Do you have this particular piece of hardware already or is it
something you were thinking of buying? If you have it already try a liveCD
and see what happens.
I have vowed off Apple since the mid-90s. I've actively and
purposefully avoided everything related to them and advised everyone I
know to NOT use or buy their products, including iTunes and QuickTime
software.
Apple is evil. $536+ billion market capitalization. Ever hear the
expression,
I think you're addressing me?
I do not have the subject piece of hardware, but just offered the 'live
cd' comment as a bit of general advice. My experience before the days
of live media was very frustrating.

I am certainly not a fan of Apple, though I got an i-phone quite a while
back. I was very impressed by its Google maps function, at the time. I liked
being able to go online with it and search the internet, without having to
have a laptop with me. The one feature I liked about i-tunes is

An Apple rotten to the core but people keep buying their products.
I usually update via apt-get, but I think the update manager only ask for
password when there is an 'important' system upgrade.
You could try GNU/Linux Mint instead. Just to let you know, we're not suppose
to discuss non-free software on this forum.
I used to be an Apple fanboy. Didn't know any better. I thoroughly despised
Microsoft. Now I despise them both ;). You can by the way probably make a
case that Apple is even worse than Microsoft in many aspects!
I am aware of that rule. However, Trisquel doesn't address all hardware. Had
I known Trisquel was not supported by the AMD graphics card/device in my

As far as I understand, 'sudo' is called by 'gksu', itself called by the

You can install non-approved software on Apple phones and tablets if you

Yup, you can install whatever you want on a jailbroken iPhone. Just like the
Android phones, anyone can void their warranty to throw whatever they want on
those little devices.
I'm saying for the less tech saavy (mother, grandmother, etc) that would not
root or jailbreak their Verizon
The less tech savvy will simply install software from the store that comes
pre-installed on the device. Very few will install alternative stores like
F-Droid unless a tech savvy relative helps out.
