A sarcastic expression used in response to complaints from other users that linux sucks or a particular bit of hardware sucks because their obscure hardware is unsupported. "Write the drivers yourself," is usually the follow-up suggestion. They sometimes point out that there are Mr. Coffee drivers for linux, thus the whiner probably hasn't looked hard enough for drivers.

The phrase has also been used by linux chicks and even some adventurous guys when, in the heat of passion, they knew they could achieve even greater levels of satisfaction if only their sexual aids were under the control of a custom-tuned and -scripted device driver.

Note that Red Hat is considering entering into a promotional agreement with the makers of the Penguin Vibrator to produce a red-tipped black-and-white "Tux" edition. Engineers at Red Hat assure us that drivers will ship with the product. Some pundits see this as a weak attempt for Red Hat to follow Yahoo!'s lead into the enourmous adult entertainment market.
