The hardware may work well...
in the right situation.
Suppose that it is the Nvidia problem that Inthane guessed. The hardware is fine. It does what it is supposed to. It may be great under Windows.
It is still a problem for Ubuntu.
Whose "fault" is that? (I hate the word fault, but that's a rant for a different day.) According to Nvidia, it is Ubuntu's. According to Ubuntu, it is Nvidia's. According to you it is Hugh's.
The buck can be passed indefinitely. But passing the buck doesn't help Hugh, nor does insulting him.
Cheers,
Ben
