If you are a Linux enthusiast, then one of the thing you might consider when buying a new hardware is its compatibility with your operating system.
Unfortunately, there aren’t many dealers out there that know whether their products are compatible under GNU/Linux or otherwise. This may lead to frustration when you’ve to spend a lot of time searching for a particular hardware that can work under Linux.
Luckily there are websites which maintains a list of Linux supported hardware. These websites are :
- Ubuntu Hardware Support
- Linux Compatible Hardware
- openSUSE Hardware Compatibility List
- Linux Hardware List
Although some of the lists are maintained by a particular vendor, the list can be use as a guideline when buying hardware for other Linux distro too.
Please note that the lists provided here are not always up-to-date with the latest Linux kernel . You are still encouraged to find more information for newer hardware from Linux support forums and newsgroups.
