The new Ubuntu is here!

You clearly have never tried to be stabilized on medications, dear.

So what do you call a small minority within an even smaller minority? (i.e.
the entire linux market). We must be going microscopic!

Oh and luck has nothing to do with the fact that manufacturers are not
supporting an OS that has very little market share and thus is a poor
investment on their part (with the possible exception of servers, but then -
how many servers are connected to a printer). Its called economics. But I
shouldn't be surprised, not everyone is endowed with the ability to think
analytically.

...tough luck!

And for funsies - one of the pieces of hardware was a canon mp class printer
- very esoteric indeed.

Canon is notorious and infamous for not supporting Linux. Had you done
some research ...

A major worldwide manufacturer is notorious for not supporting linux
invalidates my point how? Any 'research' taken that somehow indicates this
would only reaffirm everything i've been saying.

But I shouldn't get carried away - it's clear you haven't properly read any
of the above posts. Had you done so you would have read the words: "one
of...". To give other examples; My webcam, wireless mouse and keyboard and of
course the laptop I was trying to install it on. Really useful to have an OS
that doesn't accurately report battery levels or viably manages wireless
connectivity or hardware buttons. Oh and lets not forget that only recently
has installing graphics drivers not been a massive chore. Ubuntu's done well
with their repos on that one now thankfully (no thanks to the manufacturers).
Sad part of that is that we're talking about just 1 distro - the problem
still persists in most others.

But all the aforementioned indicates just one thing: Linux is not a
practical solution to the average user. Which was my original point! Don't
think however, I wouldn't like it to be (all my music is in ogg format!).

Yeah, buy an HP printer. Problem solved.

USB wired mice and keyboards aren't exactly expensive.

I don't do wireless but there are solutions if you were to ask on an
Ubuntu forum.

Don't use the others.

If one insists on incompatible hardware, you get what you deserve. I
like .flac better.

I find it interesting you can spell and try to use "esoteric" intelligently
in a sentence but, can't spell or use intelligently the word "your" in a
sentence.
