It would be nice when building you own system on the Dell site, you can tick a box and then it doesn't show the components that aren't Linux compatible.
The OEMs are the only ones with enough power to pressure the chip vendors to release their documentation!
Vendors: we don't want your source code and we don't want NDAs. All we want is the complete documentation of your hardware so we can build our own stable and maintainable opensource drivers!
If Dell wants to let its customers satisfied with its new Linux PCs offering, it MUST make vendors provide full and free (both in the sense of freedom - i.e. not under NDA - and in the sense of price) documentation. The rest (hardware support and opensource drivers) will come along.
Yes, we don't want your source code and dont't want NDA, need is the complete documentation, of hardware.
Realmente, é muito triste isso, seria ótimo se tivéssemos uma completa documentação de todos os componetes de Hardware no Microcomputador, assim, poderíamos ter realmente um sistema melhor com até divesas melhorias em um software.
