Best Distro for Hardware Compatibility

[kittysack]

I cannot mount the Micro M2 card inside my phone, does anyone know how to do this? sudo fdisk -l does not detect the storage device. When i plug the phone in, my computer detects it as a new network and tried to set it up. Thanks for any suggestions.

Does the format of the card matter, i think i formatted it as fat 32 from a windows computer

The format doesn't matter. I take it that it's a usb connection? If so plug it in and post the results of

it just hangs and nthing shows up, even with my usb wireless mouse plugged in

[Hal343]

That's a new one on me. I don't think I have the expertise to advise on this problem. Hopefully someone who knows a bit more can help. I'll try to google an answer, but no guarantees.

I am currently on Ubuntu. I have been unable to mount my micro m2 phone card, and my Infrared remote because it is too difficult or is incompatible. Is it possible there is another distro that has a larger range of hardware compatibility or has a gui to mount these devices, thanks.

All the major Linux distributions share the same device drivers. You won't find any one that is far and above superior to the others in this regard. Usually if a device doesn't work in Linux it's because the manufacturers either won't release a Linux driver or release the specifications and let the Linux community make one themselves.

I'm not familiar with this micro M2 card you're talking about. Is it a storage device like an SD card?
