Linux sucks so why support it

Exactly what I thought reading this crap.XS11E said:It's very hard for me to understand the article. They talk about using
a K8V SE Deluxe motherboard which is what I have. Mandrake 10, 64bit
RC1 found and installed ALL my hardware including the on-board sound,
on-board NIC, etc.
FWIW, MB = ASUS K8V SE Deluxe with latest BIOS and AMD64 3400 chip.
Video card is ATI Radeon 7000. 1Gig (2 500MB sticks) of Fry's cheapest
3600 DDR RAM. Canon S900 Photo Printer, HP LaserJet 6L, Microtek V6upl
scanner connected via USB2 port. HP DVD Writer 200i, LG DVD ROM.
The on-board sound is SoundMax Integrated Digatal Audio and the LAN is
Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000 Base-T adaptor, Copper RJ-
45.
No problems with any of this. Conclusion, WTF is he talking about?
I have also installed Fedora 64bit which did have a problem with my
sound card, SuSE 64bit which had NO problems and Linspire (formerly
Lindows) which installed all the hardware with no problems.
Again, WTF is he talking about?
BTW, ASUS has NO need or requirement to supply drivers for ANY OS and
never has.
Windows XP is running on the same system using drivers supplied by the
manufacturers of the sound card and LAN, NOT drivers by ASUS. The
drivers that run the sound card and LAN in Linux are supplied by
various folks in the open source community or possibly by the same
manufacturers who supplied the drivers for Windows XP so.....
The total article is pure, unadulterated horsepucky from someone who
has no idea of what he/she/it is talking about.
It sucks because it takes a certain level of brain power to get it
up and running.
It sucks because for Average Joe, it's too complicated.
It's great because it free, powerful, stable, provides you with
choice and the community can, and do contribute in so many ways.
It sucks because some of the applications I need are available only for
Windows and/or MAC. I'm hoping that will change sometime in the future
and the many, many people who *need* to run Windows will be able to go
to Linux full time or, more likely, someday I'll finally decide to give
up my attempts at learning Linux.
XS11E's last words before the Sword of Azrial plunged through his
body were:
Have you tried Wine, Cedega (formally WineX), or Crossover Office?

General Schvantzkoph said:The bigger issue is that Taiwanese companies are focused entirely on cost,
quality and customer support take a back seat. A couple of years ago I
developed a file server for a medium sized (~$500M) company. Dealing with
Supermicro or 3Ware, which are Silicon Valley based, was easy. If there
was a problem they did their best to address it. Dealing with Taiwan based
companies was impossible, they simply didn't have the capacity or the
inclination to respond to even a $500M company so you can imagine how bad
the service for smaller OEMs must be like. Unfortunately SuperMicro
doesn't make Opteron boards.
XS11E said:Yes.
Yes.
Wes Newell said:What type apps are you talking about? Are they custom to support a
proprietary product? if so, you may never see a Linux version. You also
may never see a version for the next version of windows. But, AFAIK, there
are linux equivalants of almost any win apps. Do you want to share the
name of the app you are talking about. If not, then you might as well drop
the subject. Here's a list (although certainly not complete) of linux to
win equivalant apps.
