@Hammer459 & @MagicMint We will agree to disagree. ;-) I won't expect this feature implemented any time soon or at all. Bye. ^_^ |

@MagicMint gave a spot on description of why I consider this a low value feature. | |

A driver manager is a driver manager is a driver manager, so why invest scarce developer resources into graphical gimmicks that are used a very few times ? | |

Hi Rebel450. The distro is called SolydXK. I refer to the overall work of the 2 spins - Kde & Xfce. How do I differentiate ideas worth suggesting and ideas to not suggest? |

@Hammer459 I would not necessarily call it a 'low value feature'. The Mint team has more resources but I agree that they have more to do than the SolydXK guys. |

SolydXK.... what are you talking `bout - SolydX or SolydK so; Xfce or KDE - or in case of your installed OS Linux Mint DEBIAN Edition = if so: You should read (really READ) this: http://www.linuxmint.com/download_lmde.php You can hardly compare apples with pears or bananas ... In any case; thanks for your efforts, but this place is not meant to deal with ideas of this nature, there are forums for it: http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewforum.php?f=49&sid=7f9362292e06d937432de6ef68fe961e |

This is a low value feature that requires a fair bit of effort. That effort is better spent on high value features. SolyXK does little development and only features 2 desktops. Mint has four desktops and are involved in the development of two of them. Mint has 2 upstream distros SolydXK only one. So I challenge your statement that Mint has more resources available. | |

@Hammer459 But if SolydXK which has a lot less resources has this handy feature, I reckon the Mint team can do it too. |

LMDE is based on Debian and most base system functionality is inherited directly from Debian. Mint does not have the resources to develop all the tools in a distribution | |

Hi Hammer459. Why would I suggest on debian.org to get a Driver Manager added to LMDE? Surely this is a Linux Mint decision. |

Driver manager is inherited from the upstream base distro. Direct your suggestion to debian.org |
