I'm assuming you're still using Winwoes.

Well in all fairness Neither does Windows. Linux actually far exceeds windows in hardware support. My wireless did not work after XP installed, neither did sound, graphics was extreamly laggy just on the desktop...justDIY said:I agree that lack of application support is part of the problem. However, there are still hardware problems to be dealt with.
Some specific examples:
1) Under Windows, I'm able to use my sp/dif connected digital speakers without issue, however under linux i need to monkey with something called asoundrc and then I have no volume control.
2) Some of my computers connect to a wLAN using 802.11G with WPA2 authentication. Linux doesn't recognize one card at all, and another only works in 802.11B mode without any WPA or WPA2 authentication.
