I still remember when I bought a laptop officially preloaded with Ubuntu. And the minute I did software update there, everything broke. (Because it was using some binary graphic driver that broke with newer kernel.) I could not even use the computer after that, only the console. I needed to reinstall old ubuntu in order to get my data. Never again

  So now it’s not finding and using an officially supported laptop running Linux, but using a officially supported that runs Linux and doesn’t break. Well, if that’s the argument, I want to see this device that’s guaranteed to not break.

  I half blame them, but also Linux that explicitly doesn’t care about binary compatibility of graphic drivers, unlike Windows.
