Linux Creator Linus Torvalds recently expressed frustration with change proposals to the Linux kernel that are only “required” due to faulty hardware. Phoronix notes that Torvalds ranted on the Linux kernel mailing list over the last week, saying that buggy hardware should not be Linux’s problem, suggesting kernel developers just say “no” and see what the “hardware people” say.
