So for Linux compatibility, a fully branded pc is required.
hi, I think you're missing the point here. Getting a fully functional box requires you to spend - either money or time+effort.
This is independent of your OS choice. When you buy a box off the shelf, you incur M$ tax. If you want to avoid that, you can
- spend time verifying that each bit of hardware is compatible with the distro of your choice
or
- spend money and get a branded box that is known to work with a specific distro
or
- spend effort and build a distro from scratch that will work with all the hardware that you have chosen.
or
- spend money to get someone to do any of the above.
or
- live with a box that works in parts.
I don't think there's a shortcut there.
