Oh boy. The linux fanboys will be along shortly to sperg out now that you fired off that signal flare.
Nah, I've been using Linux since '98 when I tried out Mandrake. (Which became Mandriva, which is now Mageia...) Drivers suck on Linux, they have always sucked on Linux, and it's the big thing that is keeping the OS from becoming more mainstream.
It's a tough one, because if they work, they work great. When they don't....boy you are in for a hell of a ride if you want to just try to fix them.
I owned a VooDoo 5 video card back in the day. I went 5 years without a working KDE driver for Mandriva for that card.
