After AKAImBatman's wildly popular (and heavily criticized) look at what the future of the Linux Desktop might look like, Mr. Batman has decided to write a followup article where he attempts to clear up many of the misconceptions readers have about the original article. In addition, Mr. Batman uses the second part of the series to give technical details about how some of the concepts might be implemented.

I agree. If you are a geek with lots of spare time, you could get most hardware working under GNU/Linux. But most people aren't, so Linux isn't an option for them.
There are a lot of efforts being made in order to improve installation, application installation, GUI... I'd like to know what kind of efforts could be done to improve hardware support. Maybe the only way is to spread the software widely enought to attract manufacturers develop drivers for Linux?
