Linux hardware support is about to get much better

Poor Tux, look what face he has with that Gatling in his hands ;D

Apart from Microsoft pressure, and refusal to uncover certain hardware secrets (understandable anyway), I never saw a real reason to not make them as open as possible, I mean everyone wins in the end (yeah, yeah, even Microsoft).

zridling:
Holy freakin' crapzilla. I've been fortunate not to have any driver problems with Linux (except with one new printer that I didn't like anyway), but this is great news indeed. Open sourcing hardware is a whole 'nother animal compared to open source software, for a lot of reasons. So any openness at all is welcome.

f0dder:
Open source drivers != open source hardware.
