Not with current linux. But I had a system built with an AMD cpu some
years ago. Turned out it had a major flaw in it, one which caused
multiple crashes on a daily basis. AMD notified Windows and its
microcode patched the problem. But no public notice or acknowledgement
was given and no patch was issued for linux users. Nor would AMD honor
its warrantee... one which did not specify any required OS.
My disdain for AMD is not so much with the technology. Mistakes happen
and companies learn from that and do better next time around. But not
honoring their own warrantee was a business/legal decision, one which
reflects a lack of integrity to the corporation's highest offices. That
very rarely changes.
