Desktop linux if failing because of OSS drivers (Score 1, Insightful)

I have installed many linux boxes in my life and i must say, drivers are the single biggest pain in the butt. From SCSI/SATA RAID cards to Videocards to new motherboard chipsets, it takes me huges amounts of time to configure or tweak a source driver into actually working. The Linux community somehow fails to make a standard API (like microsofts WDM) for drivers. Somehow they manage to break support for every module and driver every few minor kernel revisions.
What they need is a Linux Driver Model (LDM) and open up a nice clean binary interface for drivers. Then every small Taiwanese webcam or USB device manufacturer can release a proper driver for this OS actually giving desktop linux a real chance.
ATI and nVidia are in a tight race. I'm sure they continously disassemble eachothers driver to check the latest optimizations. Not giving up the source gives can give the edge for a few months more and thats what matters here. Just like many other hardware vendors in this scene the sofware is becoming a more and more important part to competing. Demanding opensource drivers for everyting will continu to cripple linux and make it an inferior desktop OS (and even hinder the server-OS adoption) to the end of time. WAKE UP PEOPLE. GET OF DOWN FROM THE IVORY TOWER! FIX THE DRIVER MODEL!
