model doesn’t have native Linux drivers for whatever reason
That's not any Linux developer's fault. I think Linux fans should probably stick to telling people to buy a computer that is known Linux-compatible instead. Like a ThinkPad
Yeah I don't harbor any ill will about it, just more baffled than anything. I guess suggesting specific PC models is better for preventing compatibility issues, but then you're putting yourself in the position of "Hey check out this cool new OS, you just need to buy a new computer for it!" which is also not very welcoming to new users.
