That's debian HCL, what about Gentoo? We compile the kernel ourselves man. |
46 |
It would be better if we don't use debian/Ubuntu HCL to decide HW for |
47 |
other distros, they're most popular ones and have lot of support from |
48 |
hardware manufacturers, hence good support for hardware using |
49 |
propreitary drivers which is seldom present in other distros. |
