I'm on the market to buy a new laptop, and Lemmy has successfully coaxed and goaded me to give Linux a serious try.
I've never used *nix as my personal OS.
Which hardware/laptop do you recommend? And which OS to pair it with for a Linux newbie?
I'm a software engineer, and quit my job to pursue an MSc in AI. So my uses will be:
- programming
- study
- browsing lemmy
- gaming
I've heard great things about system76, never had one of their laptops myself but still have the desktop I got in 2011 (Wild Dog Pro). I personally use the frame.work 13, and it has been working great with Arch installed. I do not recommend Arch, use something like PopOS, or LinuxMint.
What generation of framework do you have?
Intel 11th gen. I was in the first few batches when it came out and haven't had a need to upgrade, but love that I can if needed.
Oh man that's the same as me! I've been having all sorts of issues with reliability with mine so I was curious if it was different generations. I guess I'm unlucky?
I've had no issues that weren't caused by me, but I also have a pretty minimal setup.
