Third party is fine if it is available. Often when you want to
upgrade your hardware you find that the manufacturer has only
supplied drivers to run it in win98 or ME or whatever. I bought
some hardware recently for my daughter's machine (win95). I had to
go out and get win98 because the manufacturer only supplies win98
drivers.
If hardware manufacturers are so incompetent as to only supply
drivers for one distribution of one operating system, then they
should either go broke or let others do it for them.
We have nothing against third party software as long as it works
properly. And no, I have not as yet upgraded to a fast 3D
accelerator, but when my favourite games (FreeCell and GTali)
require one I will.
Stay well and happy
