    Option three: YOLO it and be the first to come up with a working config for it after ripping your hair out for weeks.

    And then never tell the rest of the Internet…

      Hey guys I got a wifi69 card, does anyone know how to make it work? NVM I fixed it.

      I somehow came across a guy who seems to be doing exactly that first part for RGB control of Corsair products.

      Dude will add support for your devices in a matter of days if it doesn’t already exist, and won’t even take donations for his project. The open source community is awesome sometimes.

    That’s pretty much how I buy my phones: Look at the LineageOS device list, find the newest ones I can find/afford.

      There plenty of other things to consider too, though, especially for laptops.

      WiFi chipset, trackpad hardware, webcam, all can lead to a sad time with the wrong manufacturers and driver support

        Modern devices are pretty generic. You can install Linux on just about anything.

        Web cams tend to be USB devices and trackpads are often SPI. WiFi can be an issue but only with a handful of devices.
