what is the most #linux and #bsd compatible laptop these days?
i mean hardware utilised optimally
eg, back in the day (1990s-2000s) we'd put up with
- storage not using UDMA falling back to basic speeds
- graphics hardware falling back to unaccelerated compatibility modes
- no network hardware offload
- suspend to disk but not ram
- no power mgt (apm vs acpi?) so battery draining fast
- weird sound drivers (oss/free)
- cleartype emulation / mimicry
- no way to update bios/firmware
