Currently Linux hardware support is a brand by brand or worse model by
model situation.
There is no way on earth any Perth based hardware shop is going to
profess complete Linux support as we don't have the population density
to afford going to those lengths I'm afraid.
Demand is in direct relation to supply, and unless your willing to buy
several hundred thousand dollars worth of Linux hardware every year
your not going to get any Linux specialised support.
