Hi,

Developing device drivers is not easy on Linux and that's why many
companies don't provide Linux drivers for their hardware.

I will request Linux kernel device driver experts to make driver
development very easy on Linux (as easy as developing drivers on
Windows).

I don't have the required expertise, so I can't do it myself.

If you don't like my suggestion, then please ignore my mail.

Please look at this page:

It mostly says that they are going back to Windows from Linux because
of high costs of driver development on Linux. And probably the high
costs come from the fact that they have to hire more than one
developer for writing drivers on Linux because writing drivers on
Linux is not easy.

Regards,
Amit
