To the community. Jon's experience probably really demonstrates why Linux isn't going to go mainstream anytime soon. While I would say 90% of people are going to have hardware that just works with the most current release of most distros, it is the 10% that have issues that really stings.
Surely this hurdle needs to be overcome. With the likes of Canonical, Redhat, Novell and the like wanting this to work surely there is a need for some sort of integration centre that hardware vendors can submit their gadgets for driver development assistance, and qualification? I know that they do do some of these things and a lot of problems like video and suspend/resume seem a lot more predicable. Or is this simply never going to happen and we just need to put up with it considering the effect of aggressive competition and the need to get new stuff out there all the time.
