[...] Again, this mail wasn't meant as a criticism. It was intended for Google to index so that someone else who is hitting their head against a wall trying to get an F12 system that works today on that hardware can do so. I'm all about not having hacky kludges in the longer term, but I am personally willing to make a hacky kludge if it works today. For example, if my mouse doesn't support drag and drop I am inclined to get so frustrated with it that I won't run Fedora on the laptop at all - or throw the laptop out of the window, which was the other option :)
Well but filling bugs and get the issues fixed will result into people not having to google for solutions at all ;)
There's a lag time between these things. Problems don't get fixed instantly (not a criticism) but others who want to install a given system will decide very quickly not to bother if Google returns no useful results when things don't work out of the box. Hence both are appropriate - the answer is not always "file a bug" without mention.
