it depends on admins to make sticky.as for avoiding laptops with broadcom chip it is not possible because many laptops come with it not to mention it works fine with windows which most buyers of such laptops use.

One Lenovo laptop which I used had a peculiar problem.

If you would disable Wifi in Windows, you won't be able to turn it on in Linux. You'll have to go back into Windows to turn it on.

Not to say, it had Broadcom.

Linux works out of the box with pretty much everything except Broadcom, S3 graphics and Canon printers/scanners.
