No KDE or Gnome theme will bring drivers for software and hardware that is only working on Windows, unfortunately.
That's not a thing.
Gnome and kde don't bring drivers, they bring a compositor. The drivers come from LINUX and other packages like MESA which are distro agnostic.
OS compatibility is in the hands of the engineers and developers, or more accurately in the hands of corporations that will go where there's money. If you want shit to work on linux, you need to use linux.
No way, are you sure??
Yes. Linux on desktop is by design modulable, you grab parts from plenty of different packages and put them together to make a distribution. Gnome and KDE are just packages, large ones with plenty of dependencies to be sure, but just packages. Here's the gnome package on arch, do you see any driver?
Wow, this is mindblowing!! Can you teach me more about Linux??
I have to ask. Are you sincere?
No, I'm not sincere with a person who completely ignored my point that Windows-alike DE doesn't make Linux a viable alternative due to lack of software and hardware support. Stop lecturing people when nobody asked for a lecture.
Such a weird take on that back and forth. I suppose you're not used to saying Incorrect things, and having someone point that out.
Reacting to that with sarcasm, to that extent? I hope you're a teenager still figuring yourself out.
Understood, thank you for your valuable opinion on the subject (no).
So edgy!
Fucking moron still thinks he's in some kind of jury, throwing his assessments left and right lol.
Nah. I just know your type. And it sparks joy that it annoyed you to be called out on your BS. Funny you think this is "some kind of jury", and not basic knowledge you got wrong, while being rude AF to someone trying to educate you. Fix your attitude. It's shit.
Who do you think you are to educate anyone? Fix your attitude. It's shit.
Couldn't come up with anything original? Tsk-tsk. Plus, I wasn't the one who went out of their way to explain the basic shit you got wrong. ... recurring theme this.
You literally wrote you were educating me. Are you stupid?
What I wrote was: "while being rude AF to someone trying to educate you"
You're the one who incorrectly assumed that "someone" was referring to me. It doesn't bother me at all whether or not you're rude to me. It annoyed me that you were rude to someone who was being kind. And, since you need to have things explained with extra care, I was referring to Imecht. The one who was trying to educate you, to whom you were rude to.
I hope you start getting it, as this is now boring. So, how about instead of trying to come up with some kind of clever retort, you simply fuck off to somewhere were your arrogance isn't revealed as being that of a little shit. You'll enjoy it more.
Damn man I went to Paris, visited the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. They displayed you as the standard of a clown. Very impressive.
I think you mistook it for the "large mirror" exhibition. Easy mistake to make.
Ah, a "no you response". How original.
Last time you made some effort, and it was amusing for once.
You should try too.
