Isn't it great how free software means having a choice? I love it.

Yes, being able to buy a hacked-together microwave that can explode in your face and one that is tested and certified is amazing! Especially if you’re clueless about how they’re made and you just want a microwave.

I must have missed that; could you share a link to the Linux kernel that's tested and certified as functional on M4 hardware?

Having your code accepted to Linux mainline is the certification in this paraphrase.

Mainline Linux doesn't run on the M4. So in your metaphor, it's more like being able to choose between a microwave of uncertain quality and not having a microwave.
