Sigh. Another person complaining about "Linux doesn't support laptops," which is completely, 1000%, backwards. This irks me to no end.
If your laptop doesn't work well with Linux, point the finger at the laptop vendor -- not "Linux". I get that it's frustrating to want to use Linux and find that this or that piece of hardware doesn't work.
You know why it works w/Windows and not Linux? *Because the _vendor_ hasn't gone to the trouble of supporting Linux.*
