Wifi drivers<\/strong> (especially Broadcom chips) :<\/p>\n<p>-Ascertain which <strong>Broadcom<\/strong> card you have by using <strong>lspci to find out the PCI ID<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>-Determine whether the distribution you use supports that card.<\/p>\n<p>-If it does, <strong>identify<\/strong> the proper way to get the card working.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Printer drivers<\/strong> (especially Canon and Lexmark):<\/p>\n<p>-Research the <strong>OpenPrinting database<\/strong> and the official support channel for your distribution.<\/p>\n<p>-Ensure all <strong>functionality<\/strong> of a device is fully <strong>compatible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>-Keep in mind that drivers are often only available on non-English websites. <\/p>\n<p>-If you&#8217;re purchasing a new printer, research compatibility before you buy. <\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Video:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The most common video issues are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>-Video accelerators<\/strong>; the latest video cards and newest technologies, such as <strong>NVIDIA Optimus and ATI dynamic GPU<\/strong> switching; installation and stability of proprietary drivers. <\/p>\n<p>-If you&#8217;re looking for a new laptop, be sure to research compatibility before your purchase. <\/p>\n<p>-If you&#8217;re a <strong>gamer<\/strong> or need the highest-end <strong>graphics<\/strong>, you&#8217;ll need to know exactly what your <strong>requirements<\/strong> are and start your research there. <\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Audio:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Audio has been <strong>easy to configure<\/strong> and reliable under Linux for a while. The best <strong>advice<\/strong> is to use one of the dedicated audio-related distributions if you need high-end real-time audio.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Installation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-The <strong>vast majority of installs go as expected<\/strong> and most supported hardware is attempted and you can easilly find <strong>answers<\/strong> to common issues in blogs for communities and distributions.<\/p>\n<p>-Keep in mind that end users rarely install other operating systems, such as <strong>Mac OS and Windows<\/strong>, as they come pre-installed on new devices.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=https:\/\/opensource.com\/article\/17\/1\/yearbook-linux-troubleshooting-tips target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">opensource.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although <strong>Linux<\/strong> installs and operates as expected for most users, inevitably some users will run into <strong>problems<\/strong>.
