I'd like everyone to shut the hell up about driver compatibility. Seriously. It was incredibly fucking annoying when Linux didn't have a competitive driver suite, too, and somehow we still managed to get to the point where Linux does have great driver support.
Fuck's sake. You write the drivers you need and then use the hardware that's supported, and if you want to support new hardware you write new drivers, you do not need to implement every driver overnight.
