Sick and Tired.
I get sick and tired of the moaners going on and on about how Linux does not work properly with this and that hardware. Yes, this is partly true. The reason is that the manufactures of most of the hardware are proprietary and don’t want to release their driver specifications to the FOSS (Free and Open Source Software Community).
Well, stop moaning and do something about it. Only buy products that also support the Foss. If you can, donate a piece of hardware to the community so the the developers can reverse engineer the drivers. If you can program, get involved in the community and help develop the drivers for hardware that are not currently supported. If you find a piece of hardware that doesn’t work go to linuxdriverproject and add it to drivers needed.As Linux gains a bigger foot hold this will become less as less of an issue. These manufactures will begin to understand that it is in their best interest if they want to stay in business to produce drivers for hardware that support Linux.
Dude.
