Not too long ago I installed Mint onto a laptop that turned out to have a network card by Broadcom, which doesn’t have Linux support, so that didn’t work. I’m going to upgrade my currently Windows PC to Mint at the end of Win10 support in October, and I want to be sure I don’t have any hardware that is incompatible with Linux. Which manufacturers are obstinate like that?

    hardware incompatible with linux like broadcom

    How are you talented enough to make a Lemmy post but not Google this? This is so curious.

    Like, if you searched, you’d get millions of answers showing you how to install the broadcom drivers. And since you’re on Mint, doesn’t the driver manager pop up at the start?

    Maybe you should stick to Windows.
