there are a number of hardware manufacturers who won't cooperate with
the Open Source community. It therefore makes no sense whatsoever to
blame the distros for hardware that doesn't fully work. Address blame
where it rightfully belongs, with the hardware vendors themselves.
However, by your tone you don't really seek any kind of understanding.
You just want to blast things you don't understand. Pity.
