From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yes the drivers are all different afaik. You need a device tree, and hardware to debug what you wrote.
Just a kernel doesnt help much.
It would be cool if they provided at least a virtual machine to test on
Why a VM?
Because if they can't provide them with real hardware at least a VM would be great
Like a VM emulating their exact hardware? Didnt know that was a thing
I'm not sure if it's possible
