IMO every time you commit code to a package in a critical Linux distribution you should have to hold up your drivers license to your webcam and pledge allegiance to the United States.

@SwiftOnSecurity I do that already, but since it's Linux the webcam doesn't work.

Follow

@letoram @SwiftOnSecurity that's an easy fix:
open up terminal
lsusb -v
find the webcam in the list
note down the 14th and 378th characters in the id
vi /etc/init.d/dev/webcam...
[17 dense pages omitted for brevity]
recompile the kernel twice
shutdown -r
wait 16 seconds, then
shutdown -r
and hey presto, you have a working webcam.
it only functions in negative greyscale for now, and the vertical flip can be confusing initially but is fine once you're used to it.
