This is where my patch comes in. I am a consultant, and for all of my clients, including full Windows shops, I only recommend hardware with Linux support. I say this directly to vendors. When asked why, I say; "Linux driver support is a demonstration of the vendor commitment to driver support in general. If they will not support Linux, why should I think they will support Windows 9? Or Chromebook? Or whatever comes next? By only using vendors with a high commitment to driver support, I am making the best plans I can to maximize my investment." There is your business case to only purchase Linux supported hardware. And that significantly increases the size of your market.
