All, I am aiding in some research here at work. Please help me brainstorm so nothing is missed. I am looking for companies and products that are needed to make a Linux desktop a viable solution for everyone.
I am looking into solution stacks for all types of workstations users. Technical workers to home enthusiasts. Products that are currently not bundled, possibly not even supporting Linux. Hardware that is not supported, or not supported very well. Please share any thoughts you have. Feel free to email me direct if you like.
