That sentence is completely correct from my point of view and has nothing to do with Foss. That’s an issue for Windows as well as Linux and Android. I think the difference is that that for the former two driver developers just take the extra effort to support hardware long term. So I think you’re right that a little rewording would help.

But your answer could be interpreted as “a FOSS OS can never maintained for a big variety of hardware over a long life cycle” which would be totally wrong. Android’s driver situation might be shit but that has nothing to do with an “open system” vs a “closed system”. My knowledge regarding this topic is not deep enough to give a perfect answer but I think other posts here sound more plausible.

There is something off with your reply. GNU/Linux exists and works fine with different kind of hardware while being FOSS.

Do you really want to use the website, if you really need an extension because of that bullshit?
