From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How about you answer it smartass.
Probably write your own driver, if you're this prickly after a whole half-hour of searching.
Oh fuck off you annoying cunt, I'm sure your mother would like to hear from you. I certainly do not.
Child.
Snide cunt.
You meet polite suggestions with the worst insults you know, after the bare minimum of searching about a niche issue.
You will not be missed here.
"Polite suggestions"
Yes. You immature font of toxicity. I linked to a page specifically about how a short script, from scratch, can convince Linux you have a joystick attached. Is it a trivial turn-key solution? No. Does that justify the screeching slurs you've spat? Not at all, you fucking gremlin.
edit: Saw your contrary follow-up, doesn't change anything. Be better in the first place. And I don't mean your grammar.
First you unhelpfully and condescendly harped on about semantics, then called me prickly when that annoyed me, and now you're surprised I called you out on your awful attitude. This is all on you, buddy. Start shit get bit asshole.
I'm not surprised. You did your worst immediately and learned approximately nothing. You escalated to a tantrum over getting what you asked for, alongside - again - gentle offhand criticism.
And you're still doing edgelord bullshit like you really flexed on someone by calling them the n-word.
Nevermind the irony of your complete inability to wonder - were you called "prickly" on account of your own actions? Does your back-of-a-Big-Dogs-t-shirt philosophy apply to you?
... do you maybe think "prickly" means someone called you a prick?
Lol, who did I call the n word? This is not a fucking cocktail party where we stand around and insult eachother underhandedly through forced smiles and fake laughter. This is the internet mate. I've got nothing to lose over calling you a cunt for acting like a cunt. If you can't handle it, don't be a cunt. That is all. You know damn well you started this conversation off in it's current tone, and damn right I have no problem throwing your god awful attitude back at you 10x over.
You're going to wonder why it's so quiet when everyone's blocked you, and you're never going to figure out it's you.
Even as you admit - you're not giving anyone what they're giving you, you're making it ten times worse.
If this sub has mods this will be the last help you ever receive here. We will never speak again.
Lol, you'll think twice about being a smartass next time and I'll make an alt. Speak again soon, darling ;)
I went overboard, but hell does unhelpful semantic bs piss me off. You came off really condescending and smarmy, even if you didn't mean to. The half an hour of searching isn't what ticked me off mate.
