Hi !

This is very true .

Bottom line is , no netbook /laptop manufacturer supports Linux as the
main distribution due to pressure from the big brother. (

And distro makers can not support all the available netbook /laptop
models. So the end user is left to tinker with the linux
netbooks/laptops  on their own and depend on forums or their local
linux guru !
