The year is 13567. Asus has released a laptop with a new Realtek audio chipset that doesn't work on Linux.

More like Faketek amirite

Ugh. The issues I'm having right now with an Asus realtek chip set. Wifi, blue tooth, audio.

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

the wifi and bt you can probably just swap out for an intel unit like ax210 and it will just work, audio tends to be fully built in to the motherboard though so not much helping that.

I wish github provides a better way to ask for money and to pay out bug bounties .. (no I'm not talking about sponsorships)

Still not as much as it costs to buy one of those laptops, so I doubt this will get much attention unless someone is generous.

maybe the donor is generous and wishes the problem to be solved for more than one laptop. The benefits compound and for example avoid e-waste.
