Hi guys. I don't mean to be rude; I just want the message to be perfectly clear because we've been through this shit for like million times already and I'm simply getting sick and tired of hearing the same stupid whining over and over again. Bad hardware support is always caused by stupid hardware manufacturers and not the operating system in question, because someone needs to write the damn drivers! If you leave that up to them, they pretty much always end up spitting out some half broken piece of binary crap, not to mention they probably won't even bother if the particular operating system isn't used by what they believe to be enough of their potential customers. I guess you can see why we have a problem with that and every single operating system is gonna be plagued by the exact same problem until it reaches critical mass. In fact, all they need to do in order for their stuff to be fully and reliably supported on free operating systems is to publicly release the programming documentation (because writing properly working drivers without it within reasonable time frame is impossible), but many of them are simply too stupid to understand that. Until that changes, we're simply screwed, because we're stuck with either crap that can (and will) stop working any time or with nothing at all and there's absolutely not a damn thing you can do about that by yet another pointless GNU/Linux (BSD, Solaris, whatever) rant! So, unless you have some constructive criticism or other valuable ideas, please go post your whining somewhere else!
