I am not sure the NanoBook should be included here... One one hand it has nothing to do with Linux itself, the only relevance to Linux is that it is used for products (only CloudBook so far I know - and this is already included in the template) that ship with Linux... this opens discussion what actually the template should be about, I think it should be related to Linux devices. What are your opinions?-- Kozuch ( talk) 14:48, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
Only referenced Linux devices will be added to the template. Please do not add devices whose Linux-running can not be verified. Thank you.-- kozuch ( talk) 22:00, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
I made a start for template documentation: Template:Linux_devices/doc. It currently has the following based on what is said by User talk:Kozuch and User talk:Gh5046 above:
Discussion and improvement is encouraged, I hope a consensus can be reached. Species8473 ( talk) 17:26, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
Note: The first four entries are copied from Talk:HP_2133_Mini-Note_PC, as they are mostly offtopic there, and ontopic here. Species8473 ( talk) 15:03, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps a Linux devices category would be a better solution here? As it is very true that the list has the potential of becoming quite big. While leaving out devices even though they are stated to be for Linux by the manufacturer and sold with Linux seems unsettling too. It exists here, so use that and drop the template?

In general, most "normal" computers and laptops can run general purpose operating systems, including Windows and Linux. And devices are usually embedded devices and not as general as an x86 PC that you can buy from a local computer store. -- Raysonho ( talk) 03:33, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
Initially I was going to use this, but file size didn't work that well. So I narrow down to
Note: I am not favoring OLPC over other image. Before I was trying to find some good DIY related picture, but got no luck. Please don't use GNU related images Tux, it totally doesn't represent Linux Devices at all. They look more like crufting then presenting the information in a positive perspective. -- 75.154.186.241 ( talk) 03:49, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
There will be a lot of Android devices (18 by the end of the year source),and much more by the end of 2010. Do we really want to put all of them on this list. We can do as Asus routers and just clump all together in one section. This could get problematic as there are Android phones, Android e book readers ( Barnes & Noble nook), and more. I am not sure the best way to handle this, but this template could get out of control otherwise. I would recommend an Android Devices template for android pages, and use this for all others, but mention Android in some way on this template as well. I hope I am making sense. -- Chrismiceli ( talk) 16:46, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Really? They seem active.. http://www.cherrypal.com/ 70.15.191.119 ( talk) 04:43, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
Adam is an tablet having Android OS which is based on Linux. Should it be also included in this tablet or not?-- Shrish ePandit Talk 13:47, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
The Raspberry Pi runs several flavors of Linux, I think it should be added on the same line as Beagleboard. Mikebar ( talk) 22:56, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
Isn't Android Linux based? -- Lumia930uploader ( talk) 11:59, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
This feels like a rather silly template. There are easily millions of different devices out there running some form of Linux, there is no hope for this to be useful or approaching completeness. Ericloewe ( talk) 15:38, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
