That is true that nobody has all the hardware with them to test
things, but it is quite surprising that Red Hat does not test on
motherboards produced by one of the world's largest motherboard
manufacturers, as it is the case of Gigabyte -- the producer of my
motherboard. I believe that there are millions of computers having the
same motherboard than mine.
I think you should be just a tad bit careful with your wording. One has to
remember that "The Fedora Project is a collection of projects sponsored by
Red Hat...developed as a partnership between the open source community and
Red Hat engineers". So, it is a bit unfair to assume that Red Hat is
responsible for all the testing. We, the community, are also responsible
for testing.
So, let's not sit around pointing fingers. Let's report problems and work
together to have them resolved. Let us also be thankful that we don't have
to spend $$ (I think it was last quoted at $90) per incident report to some
OS vendors. :-)
