Copying some files from a different machine is not that burdensome. The point is, it works.

By that logic, every piece of software ever made can be said to work perfectly in every situation, because there is always some amount of additional work which could be done to make up for its native deficiencies.

  • That's quite the leap. The work is already done, they just can't/won't ship the driver in base, right? Isn't it comparable to installing Debian and needing to load in non-free drivers separately?

I was mostly objecting to the "perfectly" part. And I couldn't resist making a Princess Bride reference for amusement.
