Operating Systems > Linux and UNIX
You have to admit that, from a hardware support point of view, Linux still sucks.

You're right, Windows sucks hardware wise because the one pc you tried it on didn't work.
That makes sense indeed. :rolleyes:

Well, you're saying Linux sucks because it didn't work with one particular video card. I don't see the difference between that statement and Doctor V's statement.
[changing subject]
I will assure you, the problem of an unsupported video card is extremely rare in Linux. Virtually any other video card that works in your computer will work in Linux, and give you the functionality you need.
Calum:
the difference is that if a card doesn't work in windows, even though you installed the drivers and rebooted it's the fault of the card manufacturer, while if a card doesn't work in linux, even though you didn't install any drivers and haven't had to reboot, then it is entirely linux's fault.
this makes perfect sense, ask any windoid. try mo5d5o5summd5 or whatever his godsdamn name is.

Calum, everyone knows your right, so don't worry about it. I must be one of the lucky ones, everyone seems to be saying new stuff will not work in Linux, well I got myself a nifty new printer (it's @ my dads house so don't ask for the model # is some HP photosmart) just came out, I set it up and it worked, Linux detected it. Of course HP said it would not work in Linux, stupid stupid people... The funny thing is I have like 2 printers each about 5 years old, neither of those worked. It's probably just luck. And no, I did not read the whole thread, I read enough though...

You talk about free and your ip addresses are logged here.
Where's the sense in that ?
spencerpi:
And another thing : some html code was posted in the forums here which crashes IE.
It does crash IE indeed, why do you not implement it on this site ?
No sense in that either.
