"This document was created to show non-KDE people what they're missing - and if you haven't used KDE a lot, you're missing a lot of things and you may interested in reading this page to learn how many wonderful things you've been missing. I promise, this is a subjective analysis of why KDE rules. I was a GNOME user for a long time, one of those users who loved GNOME UI, and I didn't know how much things I was missing with KDE until I tried it."

So the driver is available, I fail to see what the problem is.

Don't forget that if new drivers are not available, there's no one forcing you to upgrade your kernel in the first place - and switching to an earlier kernel is quite easy.

Yes, you could use an old kernel version. The problem is that new kernel versions are released for a reason.

Perhaps you can live without new features in later kernel versions, but security updates may be harder to do without.
