I am sure that you will be happy to supply verifiable documentation to
support your claims.

As for the the quality of the "hardware", that would be solely dependent
on the devices manufacturer. The drivers are obviously coded in a
fashion that allows the device to operate in its environment. Any
further discussion is impossible without defining some specific
parameters.

The basic problem is that open-sore users are by and large suffering
from a "sour grapes" philosophy. It is a common "school yard"
phenomena; however, it is usually outgrown at some time in an
individuals lifetime. However, unfortunately, that is not written in
concrete either.

"Tempora mutantur", however with the exception of Ubuntu the rest of
the open-sore community, to various degrees, continue to stagnate.
