## What if my computer is customized?
You can use the "Custom" word on the "Vendor" and "Model" categories, we also recommend to add your `pciutils` log on [this document link](https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/drivers/-/blob/master/COMMUNITY-HW.md?ref_type=heads) to help us with probable porting.
If your desktop is customized (common) you should use the "Custom" word on the "Vendor" category and insert the motherboard and CPU vendor/model in the "Model" category.
A customized laptop should only be reported if you replaced the original CPU, report the CPU vendor and model in the "Model" category.
We also recommend to add your `pciutils` log on [this](https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/base/-/blob/main/drivers/COMMUNITY-HW.md) document to help us with probable porting.
