The only sensible way to pressure vendors that i can think of is to
refuse to buy hardware which is not supported. Instead, people try to
make Ubuntu work with their Windows machine.
Pre-installed Ubuntu machines from system76 and Dell are not
necessarily workable with 100% free drivers, which is also a problem.
I don't see what's the point in using a Free OS and ignoring the issue
of Free drivers. Ubuntu made a good step with the restricted drivers
manager - people need to click another button to enable a proprietary
driver, but after they click the button, they forget it. Future
versions should be more educational, i guess.
