<div dir="ltr">I did a sort and got the following:<div>Questions regarding Prolific drivers/Windows 440 dating from 17 Aug 11</div><div>Questions regarding Linux serial ports 170 dating from 07 Oct 11.</div><div><br></div><div>So I would say that us Linux users could have the same feeling about</div><div>Windows as has been stated about us, but I think most of us Linux folks</div><div>would rather that the person posing the question regardless of OS get</div><div>a answer and get on with their rat killing, but it is obvious that not all of</div><div>those of the Microsoft persuasion have that same feeling thought it would</div><div>appear that their OS generates the larger amount of questions. </div><div><br></div><div>The thing of note as has been observed elsewhere is that it is pretty much</div><div>the same issue. A quick review of the list history would make it most apparent</div><div>but most people do not look, they just ask, so be it, they get an answer (roll</div><div>back your driver) and most take care of it. </div><div><br></div><div>That is just dealing with the prolific issue, there are many more Windows</div><div>questions, in general Linux has been pretty quiet until Python 2 started to</div><div>go away, that will impact all of us sooner or later. </div><div><br></div><div>As has been pointed out elsewhere, you Windows users get a package</div><div>with all of it setup for you. Us Linux people get an install but it depends</div><div>on the Python libs that are in the OS. They are moving on and so that is</div><div>the reason for the noise level as people are trying to work out a solution,</div><div>which will in the long run benefit all of us.</div><div><br></div><div>Diatribes such as from the OP are not welcome and I think that many of</div><div>us (I know I do) find that particular one offensive. Were it not for Linux and</div><div>the original work by Dan and others there would be no Chirp. You would be</div><div>using some 3rd party proprietary paid for product, or a vendor product that</div><div>is far inferior to what Chirp is.</div><div><br></div><div>I have often wondered how much time is spent making Chirp work for Windows</div><div>when there are other things that would be nice to see it work on. But I will</div><div>not go there because there are a large number of Windows users and they</div><div>are needed just as much as any of the other OS users. Just remember that</div><div>street runs both ways, and if you are not happy you are most welcome to</div><div>leave, the lawn you are talking about is a commons and we all have to use</div><div>it. </div><div>Good day and may you live in interesting times.</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, May 8, 2020 at 9:51 PM David Ranch <<a href="mailto:chirp@trinnet.net">chirp@trinnet.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<font size="-1">Hahaha... that's how I feel about Chirp posts about
Linux users having problems with serial ports. :-) Many new
users just don't want actually read the docs, do ALL the steps,
and do a simple set of Google searches to figure out where they
went wrong. Many feel that following just 80% of the steps is
good enough. <br>
<br>
For now, I continue to use the "delete message" with prejudice.<br>
