About the site

Fortunately, at this point in time, there is far, far more hardware that works without any problems with Linux, so this site aims to make Linux users aware of hardware to avoid (or if you want to be famous, hardware to write free drivers for).

We make an effort to explain the reasons for lack of Linux support, and how incompatible the hardware in question is. For instance, some hardware may only work with a proprietary driver (limiting it to x86 platforms most likely), other things might not work too well because the manufacturer doesn't provide specs, and still others might simply be so new that no one has written a driver yet.

This site is a wiki, which means anyone can edit the text.
