I'm sure there are many factors involved, but I think one of the

"just works" -- at least, most of the time.
Funny how Linux distros don't seem to get in "the mess" regardless.
Richmond, you must be aware that there are all kinds of hardware
compatibility issues one has to consider when contemplating putting
Linux on any computer. It is also true that some of these issues have
resulted in hostility directed at hardware vendors who aren't seen as
friendly enough to the open-source community.
