Know Any Hardware Needing Better Linux Support?
Dev Null writes "The Linux device driver project has hit something of a snag: they have lots of developers, but few devices to work on, so they're looking for input concerning which devices aren't well-supported in Linux. If any of you know of devices that could use better support, you can help out by listing them on the project's wiki."
I'm not complaining that a free service of 'A' offered by someone doesn't include 'B' because I want it. I'm stating that it is wrong for that someone (whether or not he is a provider of 'A') to claim that the 'B' thing that I want is a non-issue simply because he does not want to work on it (irrespective even of the reason why he doesn't). To me, all reasons for not wanting to do it are valid, no matter even how silly, but they shouldn't complain about not finding a job if they don't want to take/learn the jobs that are offered to them.
Besides that, you're not going to tell me that people smart enough to learn how to code a kernel can not learn how to implement a user space printer driver. I'm not saying that they have to do that, but they sure can if the want to. In my nearly 20 years of coding, I've done just about every kind of work. I'm sure I could also become a windows kernel developer if I wanted to and MS would let me.
