How do you check the hardware is compatible in practice? Is there some reliable resource for doing this?
- tombert 9mo agoAs a rule AMD stuff is pretty safe, but to answer your question, I generally go look at kernel sources, or sometimes I go and see if I can find the model in the NixOS Github and see how many workarounds that they have to do to get it working.
- ta8903 9mo agohttps://linux-hardware.org/ https://linux-hardware.org/ is useful for this.
- ZebraOtoko 9mo agoI've found generally that business-grade hardware has better Linux support. So for laptops, for instance, Lenovo Thinkpad and Dell Latitude laptops work better than some bargain-basement consumer-grade laptop.
- GoblinSlayer 9mo agoI bought a cheap laptop with preinstalled linux, it happened to be compatible with linux.
