What is the deal with this?  Their Z series of cards were released over a year ago, and still no Linux support.

 

Is Creative getting money from Microsoft as an incentive to NOT do the smart thing?

They obviously don't feel it's worth the time or resources to make decent linux drivers, it's not like they are morally obligated to do so.

Case: Meatbag, humanoid - APU: Human Brain version 1.53 (stock clock) - Storage: 100TB SND (Squishy Neuron Drive) - PSU: a combined 500W of Mitochondrial cells - Optical Drives: 2 Oculi, with corrective lenses.

Why would any company that makes their money from a dying product invest in 1.4% of the market when of that 1.4% only a handful* will think a Z series is good value.

 

 

*quite literally a handful, you could probably count all the Linux using soundblaster z series owners on one hand, assuming it is a biggish hand with a freakishly high number of digits.

Grammar and spelling is not indicative of intelligence/knowledge.  Not having the same opinion does not always mean lack of understanding.

I only see a few tech-hipsters and some companies using Linux honestly.
