Yes, but presumably a supplier who might handle a reasonable number of
units is likelier to get a hearing from the upstream vendor than the
average end user, especially if there is no intervening retail vendor
who understands nothing but M$.

Just out of interest, my laptop is a Clevo SiS unbranded, no Windows
job. Winmodem doesn't work, as one might expect, and the sound card
needs Linux ACPI support turned on, but other than that it's fine.

Oh, and the VGA text mode is badly aligned when the framebuffer is
working. But that's liveable with. Nothing else wrong, though.

lspci attached. What are the chances??
