- aidenn0 4y agoBecause that would take work; while you're at it why not switch to a decent microkernel and run all of these buggy-as-hell drivers in their own services. I have devices which I have 99% of the time on the kernel blacklist but enable when I need them as the system won't stay up reliably for more than a day or two with them enabled.
