Look, how many times have you heard Microsoft mocked for the frequency of crashes -- and how often have you heard the defense: "Oh, it's not their fault, it's caused by a buggy device driver"? You wouldn't buy it? But if Linux device drivers can be closed source and don't have any limitations on their capabilities, then precisely that will happen more and more often with Linux. In fact, Nvidia's drivers have been notorious for causing kernel crashes, and RedHat doesn't include them because they don't know how to support them. |
