I once bought a laptop with a trackpad and it came with Windows ME. The trackpad kept dropping. It was a problem with the driver crashing.

I once got a macbook from work, and the mechanical stress from carrying it in my backpack broke something internally. Started randomly rebooting. I had to bring it in, b/c Apple would not allow me to swap the broken piece myself. Got it back with everything wiped and all my files gone.

This is why Windows will never work for normal people and will never become popular. This is why Apple won't work for any common use like a backpack and will never become usefull /s

But first: thanks a lot for spending the time to make a patch!

Yet, my point is: sure, that is valid criticism. Stuff should Just Work. But it also is kindof anecdotal and a little random to write off the entire desktop experience of Linux on a piece of unsupported hardware 10 years ago. We all have experienced bad hardware support everywhere, with every OS, with every ecosystem, haven't we? Hell, even one of my thinkpads did weird stuff once.
