I never really see hardware lacking Linux support mentioned, which got me caught by surprise when a computer with a Broadcom network card couldn’t use the card. What other hardware don’t work with Linux?

    What’s even worse is when it “supports” it but in a way that’s so unusable broken it’s better to just not support it at all.

    I tried Linux on my old laptop with an Intel AX201 card. For the longest time it wouldn’t constantly connect to 5ghz, try to swap to 6, then 2 seconds later fall back to 5. WiFi was basically unusable on that laptop unless I turned off 6ghz. Even then speed was only half what it should have been.
