Why aren't these drivers installed by default yet

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago

They're still waiting to be mainstreamed into the kernel. The process of integrating drivers into the kernel is complicated. Coding practices of the coder that wrote the driver play a large part in that. Buggy or badly written code will not get accepted. Not all of these drivers have the code quality that is required in order to be merged with the kernel.

Had some problems while trying to compile and install a WiFi driver for the first time. Managed to find the email of the driver's creator and sent them a message. They responded a few hours later with incredibly helpful guidance, walking me through the process and enabling me to get it working, all while gaining valuable insights....
