    Yeah but it’s harder when something else is incompatible, like WiFi on a laptop, or Ethernet on a desktop. Not so easy to update the kernel without internet. I wonder if it would be possible for the installer to include multiple versions of the kernel to choose from.

      You’ve never had to bike over to a friend’s house 8km away to download a modem driver and copy it onto a floppy, and it shows.

      That’s just the way it’s always been, regardless of OS.
