Welcome to the Ubuntu HardwareSupport wiki page. We are transitioning our legacy
community hardware support information from the wiki to the UbuntuFriendly programme.
Here are your current choices for Hardware Support information:

5/19/2020 HardwareSupport - Ubuntu Wiki

UbuntuFriendly is an open hardware validation programme for desktops, netbooks and

laptops. This will allow us to validate systems that are known to work well with a particular
release of Ubuntu as "Ubuntu Friendly". This programme is currently being developed during
the Oneiric 11.10 cycle.

Discontinued Programmes
Hardware Support Wiki

The Ubuntu Community used to contribute to a table of hardware that has been tested. This is
being phased out in preference for the UbuntuFriendly programme. However, if you were
looking for this information, you can find it here:

Desktops

Laptops

Servers

Motherboards

WiFi

Ethernet

Video Cards

Sound Cards

Multimedia

Webcams

Scanners

Printers

Ubuntu Ready

The Ubuntu Ready programme has been discontinued. You can view the archive of hardware
currently certified as Ubuntu Ready.

Other Resources
Ubuntu Forums

Ubuntu works on a range of hardware which has not been certified by the manufacturer. The
Ubuntu community works together to test and report the range of systems and components
that work with Ubuntu. You can see the latest reports from community members and
contribute to the list in the Forums.

DB of successful installations

One can share Ubuntu installation experience automatically by Hardware_probe or search for
similar configurations from other users in the case of hardware compatibility problems.
