How can you come to any conclusion with only one
example? Your sample size is just 1.

I use GNU/Linux on embedded, desktops, servers etc. no
problem whatsoever.

Never blame the software if there is no proper
hardware support. 

I already posted this link to Karunya GLUG mailing
list:

Not sure if their support has changed over the years.
