1. I plug in my Echo Indigo sound card, which works fine in Windows and Mac. Nothing happens. 2. Being a somewhat technically-minded user, I check in the System Log to see if there are any errors so I can figure out why it isn't recognized. 3. I copy and paste the errors into Google. 4. I find a bug report, which includes a link to a third-party repository named Medibuntu, which I have never heard of in several years of using Linux. 5. I open a terminal and copy and paste commands to install the Medibuntu repositories. 6. After updating my package manager, I have to manually fix broken packages and inconsistent dependencies. 7. After fixing my package manager, I install the firmware package and my hardware finally works.
