Oh, c'mon, everyone knows that the only true news you can get on this planet come from Russian government...I mean independent news agencies, sorry. Without them and chaps in Russian government nobody would have know that it was actually Ukraine which started the conflict by selling weapons to Georgia. Who would have known ?
Hussle of finding drivers ? How about the hussle of installing them, seeing your X die because for some obscure reason official NVidia drivers and official Ubuntu HowTo on installing those drivers weren't really compatible with each other, reinstalling, finding some 3rd-party HowTo (heck, a howto to install friggin drivers !), spending half an hour in commandline (I have nothing against commandline, heck I would love to have such a versatile tool in Win, but that's not the case in this case (all pun intended)), and than STILL having to modify config files by hand to get the desired screen resolution yada-yada. Is THIS simple ? Is THIS simplier then double-clicking on setup.exe, waiting for a few mins, rebooting (OK, bad part but still) and having it all work ?
Please don't start "But Win drivers are the creation of Satan which will hang your PC". Never happened in all those years I use XP (happened with 95 and 98 though) and doubt will happen if you have brains and put them to use while downloading some 4th party tuned, overclocked and rewritten drivers for your mouse wheel or extra mouse buttons (speaking of which they don't work on Linux).
Linux was NEVER intended for users and should not be advertised as such. I am yet to see a single user happily sudo make | sudo install an application.
