Let's help developers to test upcoming Debian version 11 by filling out the community-driven list of tested hardware configurations.
The development team only has a limited set of hardware for tests, but I'm sure we can find almost any configuration in the community. Anyone can easily add their computers / laptops or servers info to the list using the package https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/hw-probe.
You can download Debian 11 release candidate on the page https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/.

Want to see how popular GNU/Linux is? See Linux-Hardware.org, you can find chart showing how many this operating system installed in the world with percentages of distros. Today, it held 100,000 computer hardware collected in this database by contributors world wide and still counting! This article covers using this website as your simple research and hardware buyer reference as well as how to contribute your Ubuntu computer information to this website so everyone can read and benefit from it. Users of OS other than Ubuntu can also practice this tutorial to contribute. Let's start.
13% of new Linux users encounter hardware compatibility problems due to outdated kernels in Linux distributions

Rare releases of the most popular Linux distributions and, as a consequence, the use of not the newest kernels introduces hardware compatibility problems for 13% of new users. The research was carried out by the developers of the Linux-Hardware.org portal based on the collected telemetry data for a year.
For example, the majority of new Ubuntu users over the past year were offered the 5.4 kernel as part of the 20.04 release, which currently lags behind the current 5.13 kernel in hardware support by more than a year and a half. Rolling-release distributions, including Manjaro Linux (with kernels from 5.7 to 5.13), offer newer kernels, but they lag behind the leading distributions in popularity.
The results have been published in the GitHub repository.

Today we have reached total 100.000 computers in our Linux hardware database.
Large database helps to find hardware configurations with best Linux compatibility and be aware of popular hardware trends. Thanks to all contributors!
This year we have launched a new database for BSD systems as well.

A new method of searching for compatible parts for upgrading a computer has become available based on the data from the https://Linux-Hardware.org portal using the hw-probe telemetry/self-reporting client. The idea is quite simple — different users of the same computer model (or motherboard) can use different parts for different reasons: a difference in configurations, an upgrade or repair performed, the installation of additional parts. Accordingly, if at least two people sent telemetry of the same computer model, then each of them can be offered a list of parts of the second one as options for the upgrade.
