How do you even search for drivers in Linux? I thought this was a windows only thing

[-] ______@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

You need to if your device isn't officially supported. This is pretty common for USB wifi cards.

There's a DB of officially supported cards , and if your card isn't there then you have to look up for a driver.

Usually they're fairly easy to find with just googling.

If it's not in the Kernel, write a driver and upstream it. Be a man.

And this is a clear example of how to keep people away from Linux, nothing push more people out of a community than shamming.
