Which serious hardware company has any modicum of support for linux? It’s not like the thinkpad runs on 100% open hardware, most of that was reverse engineered the same way.


The intel drivers are mostly written by intel engineers, same for AMD drivers.

I just checked on my works laptop, the only non intel component appearing via lspci is a realtek express card reader whose driver is copyrighted by Realtek Semiconductor Corp: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/misc/c...

Have Apple engineers written a single line of code for linux drivers supporting apple silicium ?
