In TLWIR 51, I talked about how Coreboot might provide a solution to the confusion created by the Secure Boot fiasco.

In this “gold standard” system, all of the installed hardware would be known to work perfectly with the latest version of the Linux kernel.

I recently completed a course on Lean Six Sigma, and everything that I learned was directly applicable to improving GNU/Linux. GNU/Linux is an engineering marvel. It supports an incredibly broad range of hardware. However, I believe that there needs to be a renewed emphasis on providing the desktop user with a “perfect” solution. Like the Google Nexus brand of Android devices, there needs to be a reference GNU/Linux desktop that manufacturers can look to and imitate as the “gold standard”.
