I remember getting a "winmodem" working on Mandrake back in the late 90s and thinking I was the smartest boy alive.

I'm not gonna listen to Geordi because he lives in an alternate universe where everything is compatible with everything else.
-
Ackshually... in season three episode seven "The Enemy" it is made clear that Romulan technology is generally assumed to be completely interoperable when Geordi could not connect his VISOR to his tricorder in more than a superficial way... Quote he: "they don't speak the same language". :-)

Option three: YOLO it and be the first to come up with a working config for it after ripping your hair out for weeks.
And then never tell the rest of the Internet...

Hey guys I got a wifi69 card, does anyone know how to make it work? NVM I fixed it.

I somehow came across a guy who seems to be doing exactly that first part for RGB control of Corsair products.
Dude will add support for your devices in a matter of days if it doesn't already exist, and won't even take donations for his project. The open source community is awesome sometimes.

That's pretty much how I buy my phones: Look at the LineageOS device list, find the newest ones I can find/afford.
-
Same, but grapheneOS and max screen width (big hands / fat fingers).
-
That's easy
Graphene only supports Pixels

I've been using Linux for close to twenty years. What hardware database?
-
!⬆️!< Same question? 🤔
-
It probably means this hardware database.

Weird how this often ends up with devices that don't randomly break after exactly 1 year
-
It's why I get AMD for everything.
-
While AMD is certainly better than the alternatives when it comes to device compatibility, we're still missing an open multi-platform cross-architecture compile-time standard (like a "C for graphics programing."). So long as that remains the case, the graphics market will continue to have a number of artificial barriers to entry that favor Microsoft Windows.
-
Isn't that what openGL and vulkan aim for?

There plenty of other things to consider too, though, especially for laptops.
WiFi chipset, trackpad hardware, webcam, all can lead to a sad time with the wrong manufacturers and driver support
-
Modern devices are pretty generic. You can install Linux on just about anything.
Web cams tend to be USB devices and trackpads are often SPI. WiFi can be an issue but only with a handful of devices.
-
Yeah, my keyboard just straight up didn't work when I got my laptop; thankfully the issue was already fixed in a newer kernel so I just had to update (using a USB keyboard, lol).
-
Does wifi chipset matter on a laptop? Its just an m.2 Key E chip, should be easily replaceable. Cant imagine manufacturers would solder that on, its not like RAM

Intel is also a major Linux contributor

As someone with size 14-wide (US) feet, this is how I shop for shoes. Don't even look at styles or price, I just look for the pairs that are in stock in my size and that narrows the other factors down for me a lot.
-
Bruh, same. Except if it's a store I've not been too before. Then I just ask the first associate i see if they have 15's.

-
@xia I wish more people understood this.... gah
-
Maybe i have been lucky?, I did replace a mini nvme-wifi adapter with a intel one that worked once.
-
Well, intels almost always work, but mediatek...well it's not even worth mentioning.

Mini Non-Volatile Memory Express Wireless Fidelity adapter

M2 2230 very fancy naming.
