if linux is so great why havent they reverse engineered the Elgato and Avermedia capture card drivers to work on their distros?
that's the only reason im on windows 10, which is pirated btw so the whole "its free" gimmick doesnt apply and never will for W10 going forward

Literally what, and why?
Pirate windows 7, upgrade to windows 10, ta-da.
You now own a free, legal copy.
What fucking point is there to pirating windows 10 directly/

>thinks it works that way
they dont just take some random key generated
everything is a UUID based on your HDD and system hardware properties which has to ping their servers
also this isnt pre 10, nobody cares if its active or not, it doesnt shut down after 30 days and since i have multiple monitors the watermark is never even seen anyways
>>51956645
>it's free
>gimmick
I don't think you understand. Not only is it free in a financial sense, but it is free as in freedom.
Nobody wants to reverse enginner the drivers of a not-so-used piece of hardware, specially considering that linux driver api is stable as bipolar sjw in her days
>>51957268
its so free that the most widely used and popular distro developer, Shuttleworth had to release a huge release about how 16.04 wont come with pre-set online search functionaility
>>51957290
>not so used
>literally 1 generic version which both generally use the same type of driver no matter which version within the family of devices use
the Elgato software literally comes bulked for the PCI express version, or the 2 external USB verisons of the non-pro versions
and Avermedia also has 1 specific brand that most people use.
infact their are TV tuners which linuxfags have reverse engineered and that shit is more archiac than streaming and recording cards
>>51957339
also besides this, one of the key factors that got me looking back into windows was the simple fact that the MESA/VESA drivers for Intel fucking suck ass
and its not like its some vague hard to find GPU, literally every fucking core series CPU comes with either the 4400 or 4600 graphics on it and mean while fucking random crashes for years cause of graphical memory issues its fucking insane
and the only sign of relieve was full Wayland support which Fedora had, but they are too far up their ass to actually make a usable product, from all the bullshit actually getting it to burn properly onto a USB, to then not having a fucking proper package manager

I think its done to trigger us
The bait is way too huge on this one
>gaymes
lol
>>51957359
That means that linux users or developers doednt use your shit piece of hardware then.
Also, that doesnt discard the fact that writting kernel modules that comes from reverse engineering is painful as fuck
>>51957527
Ok hotshot lets see your browser
>>51957551 is just >>51956785 and is buttmad because he's going to rot in a jail cell.
>>51957566
its not IE for one
not even windows uses it anymore in 10 you pleb
>>51957624
Ok show me a screenshot you pussy
Linux team isn't responsible for that kind of thing. But, there is this.
https://github.com/tolga9009/elgato-gchd
>>51957851
that isnt really what i want either
i want to use OBS which has a native linux version
game capture HD is just the software, not the drivers for the elgato and its severally lacking in features to make it a viable replacement to OBS or Xsplit
>>51957883
It's the drivers. But it's in early stages so there's nothing major yet.
>>51957931
i dont really get github an how to read or navigate it, what's the consensus on when there will be close to a 1:1 stable release of the HD60PRO?
if its around the same time as ubuntu 16.04 i might make my switch back, assuming there are tests that show a positive CPU usage comparision and hopefully even better usage(meaning less) compared to doing it on windows
>>51957624
Why don't you type in Internet on that little search bar by the start button, and tell me what you see.
Why doesn't OP just make the drivers himself if he wants to use Linux this bad.

Nice touch, anon :^)
>>51957624
Lol windows still uses IE all over the place.

Except, that is how it works.

>>51957558
People regularly port entire, functional *nixes to ultra-obscure platforms like Sun-2 workstations and VAX minis, and you think that's a reasonable excuse?
>>51958604
>>51956645
Linux is free as in freedom. Which means the free still applies. It's more control. Shame there are no drivers for your hardware. You could reverse engineer it yourself, but the manufacturer should provide driver. It is a shitty manufacturer who don't
>>51957527

Unless this is some sort of extreme meta memeing, in which case, well done.

it doesnt work like that dude
t. guy who pirated both 7 and 10
>Make windows VM
>Use PCI passthrough to send capture card to windows VM
Wow that was fucking hard
>>51956645
if linux is so great then why doesnt Linus add in keyloggers and trojans to ensure that you are using the operating system within the confines of the law and to prevent you from accidentally unlawfully playing DMR protected content or pirated games?
that's the only reason im on windows 10, which is overseen by the NSA btw, so the whole "what if i pirate something" gimmick doesnt apply and never will for W10 going forward
