I find the Ubuntu hardware certification a bit dubious specifically since they list all the hardware details. See, eg. https://certification.ubuntu.com/hardware/201906-27127 https://certification.ubuntu.com/hardware/201906-27127 (copied from another thread, as a reference)
Now, as a consumer, I don't have access to that level of details while trying to buy a laptop!
So, the certification both makes you believe your laptop will be compatible but then when it isn't they can come back and claim your specific controller or bluetooth card is not in the list.
This is, of course, the manufacturer's fault since they use the same product name for a large variety of component bags. In a way Dell XPS Linux Edition is good since it tells you upfront there's no tricks.
That being said, this news is encouraging but I want to know when can I buy laptops from this lot of certified devices?
