You still are missing the point and I doubt you'll get it. To the average user they don't give a fuck why it doesn't work. It doesn't work. And until it does then the average user isn't going to jump through hoops to make their hardware work.

Yeah that's actually a valid point. More distros should use newer kernels for hardware support reasons, to improve the OOB experience.

It wasn't what you said before though was it? I don't think that was me not getting the point so much as you changing what you said.

Installing drivers on Windows used to be quite common, still is common for some devices, and it's actually often easier to install drivers on Linux than it is on Windows. So I don't think it's too unreasonable to make people install drivers or kernel using an included utility.
