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.
(User disappears after the post and never elaborates, meanwhile replying to the thread is also a necro post and it gets locked anyway)
Or my other favourite:
How to make Gameguy xbox controller work: [posted 5 years ago] [Deleted by user]
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.
Link? I have some rgb ram I’m waiting on something like this for. Happy to donate!
Awesome thanks! Has mine! Hopefully someone does similar for the NZXT Kraken Elite display, but I can live with the large temperature number.
This is all of Homebridge. God bless ‘em.
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.
Rad, but my Lenovo model is not there, everything works perfectly though
They provide a tool called hwprobe or something. Probe your computer and add to their database
Please add your experience then :)
Thanks! I’ll give it a spin. 🎠
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.
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
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).
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.
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
Yes it matters. Loads of manufacturers are doing soldered wifi on some of their models. Delll, HP, they are all at it.
And even if your wifi wasn’t soldered, wouldn’t it be better to know you were buying a machine where it would just work out the box rather than needing replacement?
Oof, yeah, thats awful.
Never been reliant on wifi tbh, I’ve generally been an Ethernet purist and have never owned a personal laptop (just desktops). Even for work laptops id use either onboard ethernet or a dongle
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.
Mini Non-Volatile Memory Express Wireless Fidelity adapter
M2 2230 very fancy naming.

Almost all modern hardware works fine
This isn’t 2007
