> That would help people use Linux, but I'm not sure it would make a difference in maintainer bus factor Another perspective is that every maintainer of Linux drivers starts as a Linux user, so driving up Linux users will indirectly lead to more maintainers eventually, even if only a small bump. Then if a Linux user starts out with a computer that is 100% Linux-compatible, they might at one point switch out the RAM or GPU or whatever to a new component, find it isn't compatible/as compatible and armed with their new knowledge, might attempt to contribute to existing driver/write a driver for it.
