    That’s defo Broadcom’s fault. Unfortunately when Linux is a second class citizen, hardware vendors will make crappy Windows and maybe Mac drivers, but a lot of Linux support seems like it needs to be reverse engineered or something, if the company itself refuses to play ball. :(

    This was the case with NVIDIA for a long while. Still kinda is. Hopefully that’s improving though.

      It is absolutely Broadcom’s fault, but it’s also still the state of things.

      Thanks to Ubuntu, Mint is quite well endowed with functional software. If it can receive the same level of support as Windows or MacOS, it will probably outpace them both.
