I'm glad to see that Linux distributions are so sophisticated now that the user can now be blamed for any problems that cause them not to work on a given setup!
They usually can. Most of the 'problems' I see with Linux installations are with morons who don't bother to see if their hardware is actually supported before doing an install. Then they get all sorts of strange problems and blame Linux for their own lazy stupidity.
Linux isn't for everyone. If you can't stir yourself to do a minimum of research prior to installing - like checking out your hardware to make sure it's supported - then you should really stick with Windows.
That's right, I said "stick with Windows". Not only would it cut down on posts like this complaining that Linux 'doesn't work right' (when in reality it's the user that isn't working right), but it would put an end to all those twits arguing over whether Linux is 'ready for the desktop'.

Neither, smid. As alluded to in the originating thread, the Register is rarely kind, but additionally, there seems to be something of an anti-American backlash in the british tabs these days, so it seemed kinda apropo... or funny, take your pick.
To be fair, and show that I didn't think the article was truly slanted because SuSE is german, I admitted that I use it myself, in leiu of Red Hat, for instance.
