Good luck with that.
On most hardware I buy, I can read "compatible with Mac and Windows" on the package, but nobody seems to bother if it's compatible with Linux or not ...
- infogulch 6y agoMaybe because "being compatible with Linux" doesn't mean anything specific. There's no spec so nobody can follow it... which is what GP is saying I suppose: Define a bar so people can try to aim for it.
- minkiu 6y agoWouldn't "Compatible with Kernel 5.11" be a pretty good/accurate bar? That is if they upstream their drivers or develop their closed sourced ones against certain kernel?
- dolmen 6y agoExcept that when you get the device in your hands, the kernel version advertised is in the very best case one year old. So irrelevant.
