The only issues I had on #Linux fit on one hand and are solely the manufacturers being dicks:

• Intel #GMA500 &

• Intel GMA3xx0 aka. #Poulsbo / #US15W

• #AMD pre-#FLOSS'd drivers and old #ATi cards that need them.

• #Nvidia being dicks and not offering feature-parity for their #GPU #drivers acrss platforms as well as actively working against FLOSS #driver #developers...

• #Fibocom #850GL aka. #Intel #XMM7360 and neither of them nor #Lenovo willing to #support that #WWAM module on an "#UbuntuCertified", €3k+ #ThinkPad #P15v #Workstation #Laptop running #Ubuntu 20.04 LTS!

@fedora Sadly, #Lenovo wronged me as a professional when they refused to support their "#UbuntuCertified" #ThinkPad #P15v's #WWAN module ( #Fibocom #850GL, based on #Intel's #XMM7360 baseband).

• And that was a €3,5k+ professional device!

Add to that the discontinuation of any #wired - #USB "ThinkPad Compact Keyboard with #UltraNav" and the only reason I've not retired my #X230Tablet for a @frameworkcomputer / #Framework13 or god forbid some #DIY abomination is my belief in #UseLonger!

@rl_dane I wished @frameworkcomputer would do this too, because #Lenovo has #enshittified the #ThinkPad brand so hard and refused to support me with a #P15v (alongside #Canonical #Intel & #Fibocom with regards to getting the #850GL / #XMM7360-based #WWAN working on this €3,5k+ "#UbuntuCertified" System) that I'm gonna go with a #Framework once my #X230Tablet dies.

@CppGuy @frameworkcomputer In terms if #avoid I'd sadly say #Lenovo (espechally outside the #ThinkPad line) and any cheap/craptastic no-name brand...

Tho personally, Lenovo, #Intel, #Fibocom and @ubuntu / #Canonical ruined my experience with the ThinkPad #P15v because despite being "#UbuntuCertified" the #WWAN module (an Intel #XMM7360 rebadged as Fibocom #850GL) didn't work and neither of the aformentioned parties felt responsible to fix it!

• And thanks to #PCIe - #AllowListing of #WWAN cards I couldn't just plop a known working M.2 card in there, but that applies also to #hp, #Dell and any other "Business Notebook"...

@stdevel @bradlinder that is sadly not the truth anymore.

Despite being "#UbuntuCertified" absolute basics like the #WWAN module didn't wotk at all on a work issued #ThinkPad #P15v.
Neither them nor #Canonical nor #Fibocom (#850GL WWAN Card) nor #Intel (#XMM7360 is the chipset of said card) felt responsible to fix it.

Not gonna talk about #nvidia being shitty again on that occasion...
