Linux - Is there any Linux java developers ?

all hardware support for Linux is terrible.

Huh?  Judging from the "preferred OS" thread, you don't use a Linux distro, therefore, seriously, what the f**k do you know?  As I stated in that thread, I've had more problems with drivers on Windows in the past.  I haven't had a problem with any hardware on either system for years now.

Yeah in that thread I'm more biased towards Windows 7, but I actually do use Linux a lot

Also, you misquoted me, I said almost. I do know Linux works on almost all hardware, but that's mostly because of generic drivers, if I'm not mistaken.

Sorry, I didn't mean to misquote you, although even if I had quoted you correctly, the comment would have still been utter rubbish.  You even say as much here - "Linux works on almost all hardware"!

Interesting side note, there seems to be a general push in the direction of generic drivers, which is good for everyone.  I was pleasantly surprised when sourcing some webcams for a recent interactive project that Microsoft specify that webcams must be class compliant to be certified for Win 7.  Not often you can thank Microsoft for improving hardware support on Linux!
