Well, as a LINUX desktop user for 10 years and professional Systems
Administrator for 17 years.... I'd be very grateful for "some half-baked
compatibility matrix". Currently the state of debugging / diagnosing
display issues for the end user is just this side of 'impossible'.
Would be a dream come true to have a site where you copied the string
from lspci output, enter your software version(s), and check a few boxes
as to what does work / doesn't work / you-haven't-tried. And make it
searchable.
The true problem is the above would only be useful if a large number of
people used it [entered their data]. Creating a centralized repository
of anything is something Open Source has demonstrated it cannot
accomplish.
