There are LOTS of people using a PW3. More so then the PW4 since the PW3 has been out a lot longer.

Why would kernel tweaking for the PW3 be that difficult? Besides, 5.12.5 may not need a kernel tweak. Also, the Voyage has 5.12.5 and it's also 7th gen hardware. So it may be similar enough that you don't need much changing to update the kernel.

While you don't like the PW3, lots do and it's perfectly good hardware. There's no reason 5.12.5 cannot run on it and if I'm wrong, Amazon should say why 5.12.5 is not available.

Please don't make such incorrect assumptions.
