[QUOTE="Satspot, post: 1128161, member: 417005"] It might be worth noting there’s not a great love between Linux and TBS and in particular Ubuntu with the result it’s a lot more difficult to develop any application without the full picture. Most of the developers are working blind in many cases and are reverse engineering to find solutions. You only have to look at nVidia for an example of that. A quick read of this link might give you an idea if you don’t already know this [URL="https://rickcaylor.websitetoolbox.com/post/tbs-drivers-will-no-longer-build-under-ubuntu-16-04-could-someone-please-explain-why-10089434"]TBS drivers will no longer build under Ubuntu 16.04, could someone please explain why?[/URL] Many ask the question why don’t hardware manufacturers work closer with the Linux community to get their hardware working under Linux. They’d shift more units as a result Of course the bad words here are Open Source so that’s unlikely anytime soon. Bearing this in mind if a Linux developer manages to get his application up and running in a particular flavour of Linux that’s the one I’d go with unless I knew my way around Linux particularly well. I too have tested many DVBS/T cards under numerous flavours of Linux over the years. I’m still nursing an old Hauppauge Nova S2 Card on a Core 2 Duo on the latest version with more backports than you could shake a stick at just to keep it alive. I really do suggest you create a new partition for Fedora on your drive and do all your testing/evaluation of neumoDVB there before you end up aging prematurely. [/QUOTE]
