From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah. Why would anyone expect one of the most popular video cards in the world to work in Linux. Those idiots.
Just to be clear. I understand why a proprietary card may not work. It isn't Linux's responsibility to make it work. However, what isn't acceptable is for the automated update system of an OS to break a working system. Proprietary driver or not. The update system should have thrown up some very strong warnings that proceeding would break the system.
Have you contacted whoever you pay for your support contract?
As long as you keep relying on this cliche excuse, Linux is never going to be treated as a serious desktop operating system.
Distros are trying to create usable, friendly systems. They failed at that if their distros are this fragile. That's what "unacceptable" means in this context. You can't just throw your middle finger up in the air at the user when their system fails by saying "you didn't pay for it" and scurry off giggling. Yet Linux advocates keep pushing Linux on inexperienced users, saying that it's the solution to everything; that it's so easy their grandma uses it.
I don't use Linux as anything more than a toy for this very reason. I'll start taking it seriously when its advocates do.
Oh noes!
I disagree.
LOL
... And your reply shows exactly why no one should take anything you say seriously. You're just trolling.
Don't confuse laughing at you for trolling, they're not the same thing.
