    Again, I think you’re mistaken here

    Ok, I’m so fuckdamn tired of this, so amazingly fuckdamn tired.

    The majority of linux devs are not working on reverse engineering device drivers here

    Fucking strawman

    allying behind a single distro won’t fix this unless the distro is made by a huge company willing to pay people to reverse engineers various drivers

    False dichotomy.

    it takes too many manpower we don’t actually have.

    #THAT’S WHY POOLING ALL AVAILABLE MANPOWER UNDER A SINGLE DISTRO IS A WIN

    off course people are celebrating now.

    Considering how long it has been around, and how many tens if not hundreds of thousands of people working on it, 5% is fucking terrible.

    I mean, sure, celebrate, but it isn’t even close to being the achievement to warrant it.

    You bring nothing to this discussion but informal fallacies and spurious arguments, just like every other linuxbro I’ve had the displeasure to deal with.

    Get blocked and get lost.

      I’m just telling you that it’s wrong to assume hardware support problem will be solved by unifying behind a single distro, while in reality device driver devs are already unified behind the linux kernel project (not distro projects) and there is not enough manpower because there are only a handful of devs have necessary skill and willing to donate their time to support random devices in the market (and they need to have the devices on their hands first for reverse engineering). As linux marketshare grows, device manufacturers may be willingly support linux on their own, so your future scanner might eventually work out of the box on linux.
