The amount of shit takes on that thread are astonishing from people wanting to paint Hector's comments in a bad light. Trying to twist his words to extrapolate a meaning that isn't there. Of course, there are tons of people who also have no clue how hardware support comes into being. Some hardware is buggy on linux, has been and may always will be. A lot of the reason is, either the drivers had to be reverse engineer, which takes a lot of time and effort. Or, something that happens a lot, vendors throw together shitty drivers and call it a day. No hate for the SEs at these companies though. Some of these companies invest all their money in the development of hardware and clench up the purse strings once it comes time to write the actual drivers. Then from here, either the driver is open source and no one gives a damn to go fix the driver, or your back at needing to do some reverse engineering.
