"Well that's just because the manufacturer just doesn't write one, not because of some intrinsic factor of FOSS" Linux wants to force the manufactors to open source their drivers by intentionally changing the ABI, which makes it harder to write a driver as a binary blob once. I want open source drivers. But I am not sure this is the right way to get them. Hardware makers feel forced to protect their trade secrets, this is the current buisness reality. Open hardware the rare exception. Reality also is, I gave up with linux on many machines because of bad drivers. With more stable drivers avaiable, even if proprietary, I would have been able to convince many more people of linux as well as getting rid of windows on my laptops. And more people using linux on a daily basis, means more people exposed to the idea of software freedom. And not just hackers.
