Well Linus, I'm not saying it's got to become "Apple-simple", but it does need to become simpler than this for this to succeed.
You are NOT struggling with "the Desktop" here. Rather, you are trying to do embedded systems development without being familiar with the development environment, in the same way that I might were I trying do do this same task on a Microsoft platform.

I disagree. He's trying to install a driver which is a reasonable exercise for the desktop. I know you could install a Windows driver no problem. The fact that Linux sometimes requires compilation of kernel modules etc makes Linux a difficult proposition for many. To be user friendly, the command line should not be required for simple tasks like this.
Even if this particular driver is a mess that shouldn't really come into it. Maybe they shouldn't be pushing the user to do this low level "development" just to get a driver/hardware working.
