If a particular item doesn't work with Linux it is far more often
because the maker isn't co-operating than it is because the community
doesn't want it to work.

Supposing you have a fault with your car and you want it fixed but
your mechanic says "can't do it - the car maker won't give us the
parts.  Just won't.  They require you to go to that dealer over
there who will charge you $200 an hour."  Do you say "You are a
lousy mechanic and you can't be taken seriously" or do you say "that
car maker is an idiot and I won't buy that brand of car again"?
