I don't usually, but... 10064

I think you're a liar. *All* of your hardware unsupported by Linux? Every single little bit? Do come off it. I've got three computers and a laptop, and only a couple of things among the whole lot have failed to work completely.

You're the nutjob here, not us.

The reason Windows works so well on any hardware, is that the hardware is designed *for it*, and specs for it are frequently withheld so that Linux and other open source developers can't write drivers for it. The manufacturers may have legitimate reasons for witholding specs, from their business point of view, but it is *not* a falt of Linux. The developers do their very best to write drivers and software compatible with a huge range of hardware which is changing and being added to constantly. And you, in your sneering, nasty, arrogant way, decide to blame Linux and its developers for a situation over which they have little or no control.

Linux won't run on your hardware? Either get some other hardware, or stop trying to install it and whining about your failures here. We don't want to know.

So you say. We disagree.
