Some certification of genericity required for all future device purchases by publicly funded institutions, for example.

  That's what Microsoft did. Initially there were a lot of issues and also things like hibernation didn't always work right. Linux needs to have similar certification. The rest would be to have customers look for it and prefer hardware that's certified.

    You mean something like this: https://certification.ubuntu.com/make/Lenovo https://certification.ubuntu.com/make/Lenovo Or this: https://support.lenovo.com/il/en/solutions/pd031426-linux-for-personal-systems https://support.lenovo.com/il/en/solutions/pd031426-linux-fo... It's all really very nice, but even on certified machines, some hardware parts are not working on Linux (X1 fingerprint reader, for example).
