The linux community never ceases to amaze me. I'm an electronics technician who has geeked for over 20 years. Everywhere I go, I see amazing articles about switching to LINUX. Over the past 5 years I have installed over 5 Linux distros, not a single install didn't have hardware issues that sent me screaming back to windows. I have one install of lunuxmint that works but it still has hardware issues.
ReplyDeleteKali simply will NOT install on my hp laptop, it insists on having a mounted CD. I have tried every single method to fix this issue - which is apparently unuseable on this hp laptop. It's not some weird korean laptop, this is a very popular laptop from HP. Linux has never been ready for primetime, and obviously Kali linux is no worse or better than any of the distro's out there that WON't instsll. I keep visiting linux distros at various times over the past 10 years, but it's obvious that Linux is still not ready!
