Isn't that a hardware problem though? At some point you want your software to work, and years of reverse engineering for it to do so is a long time for it isn't it?

Well, it's obviously dictated by hardware and the software that manufacturers release for it. I'm not calling enthusiasts to reverse engineer every single driver, that's impossible.

The point is, there is a lot of proprietary blobs in everyone's systems, and it's not cool. If you ask me, we should obviously shift policies to force manufacturers to open source drivers and management systems.
