Devices with bad Linux-compatibility

This is a project to find PCI/USB devices with bad Linux-compatibility based on the hwinfo reports collected by Linux users at https://linux-hardware.org for the last year.

In the scope of this project, the device is considered badly supported by Linux if driver is not found for this device in at least one user probe on any Linux distribution.

You can find appropriate hwinfo report in this repository by a probe ID as follows:

find . -name {PROBE ID}

Everyone can contribute to this repository by uploading probes of their computers by the hw-probe tool:

sudo -E hw-probe -all -upload

Total reports: 209702.

About

The structure of the repository is the following:

{COMPUTER TYPE}/{VENDOR}/{MODEL PREFIX}/{MODEL}/{HWID}/{OS}/{KERNEL}/{ARCH}/{PROBE ID}

( e.g. Notebook/Dell/XPS/XPS L421X/D7DA07727B83/ROSA-2014.1/3.14.22-NRJ-LAPTOP-3ROSA/X86_64/F74F6103A1 )

PCI Devices

Non-100% value in the 'Missed' column indicates that the driver for a device is available in the latest kernel versions. You can find corresponding hwinfo reports for listed devices by a probe ID.

Missed - percentage of probes with missed driver for the device, Linux - the minimum Linux kernel version in which the driver was found, Probe - latest probe ID with missed driver for the device.
