Linux driver problems? What driver problems?
,----[ Quote ]
| For ages people have complained about how there's no drivers for certain
| products in Linux (or insufficient drivers), despite Linux having the largest
| driver database in the entire world, easily twice as large as Microsoft's
| largest collection.

Driving the Linux drivers
,----[ Quote ]
| Before closing though let me say that this is not just a Linux problem. I,
| and many others, have endless troubles with multi-function devices on Macs
| and Windows PCs. In particular, I've found that a machine which will work
| great with one version of Windows will have fits with another version and
| I've found the same thing with Macs operating systems. Regardless of your
| operating system, we could really use better device support all-around from
| the vendors.

Why do Open-Licensed drivers matter?
,----[ Quote ]
| The very fifth reason open-licensed drivers matter, and a very current one,
| is that supporting an Open-Licensed driver can create jobs that weren't
| there, save money for companies, help optimize drivers outside of the
| original vendors aggressive product schedule, and allow customers and clients
| who rely on functional drivers to actually have a say in what goes on with
| the drivers.
