> Who installs Linux themselves? Tech geeks/enthusiasts. > Who should know better than to install an operating system before checking for hardware support? Tech geeks/enthusiasts. > That's why I can't take those people seriously. ... we're not going to find answers to those problems by listening to these people. Am I missing something here? My point is issues techies face are the same as a non techie would. So why wouldn't you listen to that kind of feedback from techies? It's not like they're complaining about kernel internals or architecture, they're complaining about user experience compared to other mainstream operating systems. If a linux desktop distro can't or isn't willing to address that, then it's simply not designed for a typical user as much as people want it to be.
