Hi again The point i was trying to make is that hardware does not neatly fall into 1 of the 2 categories
category 1 being "supported" and category 2 being unsupported There are questions about firmware or hardwiring and then drivers that have restricted functionality because some or all of the stuff normally done by a driver might be hard-wired such that an apparent OpenSource driver may still leave one bit of hardware just as effectively ClosedSource because of lack of access to the useful bits without physically replacing part of the hardware. Even ignoring such stuff that is beyond my understanding and keeping it to OpenSource drivers vs ClosedSource (and never updated) that still leaves us with 3 categories 1. Supported and OpenSource drivers resourced by the hardware manufacturer 2. Supported but drivers might be proprietary or functionality not quite completely there yet 3. Unusable in linux, or perhaps just extremely limited functionality (or unknown) Perhaps Tux or the Ubuntu logo could be in an appropriate colour or have an appropriately coloured background or have a circle around it or a tick beside it or something to distinguish between how well the hardware works in linux.
