A "green list" of hardware?

Is there a "green list" of hardware supported properly by the linux kernel?

Whether the hardware will be supported by linux or not, is a very important criterion for me whenever I buy hardware. Making that decision shouldn't be as hard as it is now.
Right now, there is no such centralized list on the first page of google search hardware supported by linux kernel.

If this is a famous enough list, it should spark a new interest in the HW producer's side to get their hardware "properly" supported by the linux kernel.

(A noteworthy effort exists from linux.com, but I still think it should be easier, centralized, and have more involvement from kernel developers.)
