The network has a new directory of linux-compatible hardware. "Appeared" - loudly said: the site for several months. Just an announcement about it was abandoned in LKML recently.
The site collects information about the compatibility (or incompatibility) of iron with various Linux distributions. The trick is that this procedure takes place in a modern, “web two zero” style: the user starts a small program, she collects information about the hardware and sends it to the site. Further, the user complements this file with his comments and gives it to the "torn apart" crowd. For example, you can get information about an arbitrary PCI and USB device by simply entering hardware4linux.info/pci/<vendor_id> / <device_id> / <sub_vendor> / <sub_device> or hardware4linux.info/usb/<vendor_id> / <device_id> .
