Those of you who use Linux on a laptop, which laptop do you use? I've been thinking of buying a new laptop to replace my current ageing macbook and would love to run Linux on it.

made in Taiwan, and are relatively more open with visitors/reporters than their mainland China counterparts

unfortunately as of 2 months ago they still are all Clevo (or TongFang or similar) laptops manufactured in mainland China, with a difficult traceability or outright bad working conditions, if that’s something you choose to factor in. System76 have some ‘made in the US’ promises

Mate you trying to play the American imperialist trance here? Can we be more non political while discussing open source technology on a technology board?

Not American, nor did I bring up politics. Place of manufacture, and the company doing it is a factor when buying tech. But feel free to be offended. But maybe keep that off a technology discussion board.

You know what you did, and I highlighted that via quoting. Keep this nationalist elitism/bias out of this community in the future.
