ubuntu.. nooo.. i love apt, but too bad it installs things, and configures things, however it wants to without documenting what it does. and then, if you goto #ubuntu on freenode for some pointers, they tell you to goto the application's support people... but, those people don't know how ubuntu has configured it EITHER. so, it's ubuntus fault for being so good... yet so bad... i'd say avoid apt

I've never had an issue getting drivers to work with Ubuntu. This also applies for wireless devices (mainly wireless network adapters) as well.

no, ubuntu is great with drivers

Apparently they don't like you. This has never occurred with me.

apt works the same for everyone, my friend.

let me clarify:
not a single printer has ever worked, not a single wifi card has ever worked. most graphics cards have worked as well as most sound cards. sound cards have worked out of the box while i had to compile most video card drivers. most usb devices have not worked.

have you tried debian/ubuntu? theyre both good with drivers. everything worked out of the box for me with ubuntu.

[Yegg]

have you tried debian/ubuntu?

? The title specifies "ubuntu"?

If, the latest version of Ubuntu has failed to work with any of your hardware as you describe, you must have some of the shittiest, non-name brand hardware out there.

I find it far more likely that you're just trying to troll.

He just stated that WiFi doesn't work (A known weakpoint in Linux's driver support) and some USB devices don't work..it seems pretty plausible to me.

I think the key issue here is Out of the Box Support, and 2D/3D acceleration on Linux is hackish at best for some cards.
