Is it possible to create driver packages for PCS?

[dv8tion242]

I see that there are one or two companies using Clevo hardware but as PCS does, they have their own branding etc. The creation of a PCS version of a driver set may (not saying will) improve the user experience.

A small portion of the DEB file from this other company is:

dpkg  -c system76-driver_3.2.7_all.deb
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2013-04-27 17:03 ./
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2013-04-27 17:03 ./usr/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2013-04-27 17:03 ./usr/share/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2013-04-27 17:03 ./usr/share/doc/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2013-04-27 17:03 ./usr/share/doc/system76-driver/
-rw-r--r-- root/root      1186 2013-04-27 17:02 ./usr/share/doc/system76-driver/copyright
-rw-r--r-- root/root       166 2013-04-27 17:03 ./usr/share/doc/system76-driver/changelog.gz
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2013-04-27 17:02 ./usr/share/applications/
-rw-r--r-- root/root       408 2013-04-27 17:02 ./usr/share/applications/system76-driver.desktop
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2013-04-27 17:02 ./usr/bin/
-rwxr-xr-x root/root      4301 2013-04-27 17:02 ./usr/bin/system76-driver
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2013-04-27 17:03 ./opt/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2013-04-27 17:03 ./opt/system76/

Obviously this driver set does not work on my system because of the customization within. I'm just curious as to if something like this could be made into a more generic format. Or if it's even worth looking into.

The practical benefit should be a reasonably seamless user experience, even if Linux is not created/supported by PCS.

PCS supply drivers with their pcs but I'm feeling my ignorance after reading your post and guess we probably aren't talking about the same thing.

There is a disk which I'm sure contains Windows drivers, but PCS makes it pretty clear they do not officially support Linux. While it is possible to specify the Operating System as well as the partition during the construction, the choice of OS is based Windows. What I am suggesting is either a generic collection or something that PCS can make.
It is possible to create, but is beyond my knowledge.
