Device drivers can make or break an operating system. The best engineered kernel is useless if applications running on it cannot interface with the outside world or if device manufacturers cannot readily support it with their wares.

There is a common mantra which windows advocates like to chant. The mantra goes like this, windows has better device support. This is simply a myth.

While most basic hardware support for GNU/Linux is improving constantly, wireless support remains dismal. Few manufacturers make an effort to support the operating system, or to publicize what support they have.

Longene(Linux Unified Kernel) is a free, open-source computer operating system kernel project intended to expand the Linux Kernel to be binary-compatible with application software and device drivers not only made for Microsoft Windows but also made for Linux OS. This will enable the Windows application running on the Linux operating system highly effectively.

Gallium3D, the graphics driver architecture created by Tungsten Graphics designed to overhaul graphics drivers on Linux and other operating systems, has caused quite a stir lately. Gallium3D this year alone has picked up support for features like OpenGL ES, OpenCL, network debugging support, and many other prominent changes, albeit the GPU hardware drivers are still lacking.

There is not an application like Windows Device Manager Ubuntu. Gnome-Device-Manager is the Ubuntu equivalent for the Windows Device Manager application. it's not installed by default. Gnome Device Manager is a front-end, or GUI, to the HAL daemon service.

Ease the pain of migrating device control applications from Microsoft® Windows® to Linux® by understanding how device control works in both operating systems. The authors outline these differences and give you a C/C++ migration sample.

One of the biggest reasons stopping people from trying the Linux operating system is concern about installing it, especially if it turns out that Linux does not support a particular device that works with Windows.
