If you think Linux should have all of the drivers, I agree. Go complain to the
companies that made your hardware for not releasing drivers for linux, and
instead supporting the microsoft stranglehold.
The idea of blaming linux for your hardware being restrictive seems pretty
silly. My computer worked right out of the box with Ubuntu, with 0
configuration required...but then, I didn't buy it as some silly Dell package
deal, I built it. Consumer laziness has its price.
