Why don't you support Linux?!

 

I have bought an HP Laptop _because_ I wanted Ubuntu/Linux to work. I thought, you know, you guys are HP! You've been around. You know what Linux is, and you will _surely_ support your own products. My OS is nothing unusual. It is the best known standard distribution that's out there. Ubuntu 22.04 latest version fully updated. Why? Because I wanted things to work without wasting time. Suspend and Hibernate are BOTH completely broken. I've filed a bug report for Ubuntu:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/docker-systemctl-replacement/+bug/1998514

 

They don't have time to even say hello to me. It is unassigned after weeks. I don't blame them. I didn't pay Ubuntu, I paid HP for my laptop.

I know this is easy for you to do. You are already supporting Windows and everything is 20 times harder in Windows. If you have any questions, Linux Kernel mailing list will help! It is _your_ product. Who else can support it?! 

 

PLEASE work with the Ubuntu people and get your drivers in there. I know this isn't difficult for you to do, and I really need it. I paid for it too. I'm keeping the laptop until Jan.14. Then I can return it.
