    That’s cool but probably unnecessary. The vast majority of hardware works fine.

    I definitely opted for an AMD GPU in my new gaming rig specifically to run Linux/ChimeraOS, and hopefully one day SteamOS.

      OP is literally complaining about bad hardware support. The best way to avoid headaches is to stick to known supported hardware.

        Yes but you can literally have “known supported hardware” without literally building a “ground up Linux machine”.
