    So some drivers are not installed like I said

    I’m not casting judgement on whether the drivers are good or not I’m merely pointing out that they’re not preinstalled and a lot of people don’t even know what a driver is.

    If Linux isn’t out of the box simple easy like Windows people are never going to switch to it no matter how terrible Microsoft become. They will go to Apple before they go to Linux.

      Hang on…

      Some distros (mint, Ubuntu) prompt the user to install proprietary drivers during the installation process, it’s very easy.

      On Windows you have to download the latest drivers from the manufacturers website and install them manually, that’s crazy!

      No, you said:

      First of all they’re going to have to release a distro which actually has, shock horror, proprietary drivers installed on it, because your average user isn’t going to understand how to install them.

      You’re moving the goalposts.
