Most of the Linux community seems to be not people persons... ;)

9 out of 10 requests or posts I make for help start and end with "But your not suppose to do that, you should try and re-write the Kernel to patch in the functions you want" or "What, do you expect us to write the drivers for you!?"  :laugh:
Where as if you ask in the Windows community, it's either "sorry, it does not work, there are no drivers" or "sorry, you may need to get different hardware".

While Apple are king at blaming the customer, Linux users seem king at blaming anyone else who uses Linux.
