Are you using #Linux? If so, what kind of device are you using it on? How has it been working for you? From a hardware standpoint, what would you improve, if anything?

@zak dell and thinkpad, laptops and desktop. Amazon Ec2's. Haven't had a single hardware issue with Linux in over a decade. WiFi, keyboard backlight, finger print scanners, secondary displays - it all just works

@falken That's an amazing record! I haven't been quite that lucky, but I also haven't seen anything totally experience-breaking in awhile.

@zak maybe it's "buying what you know works" so not the same as "does random graphics card work".

@falken This is why I plan to purchase devices made for Linux from now on rather than hoping that standard hardware will work. But such hardware didn't really exist for consumers a few years ago.
