Linux laptop recommendation thread🐧💻 (lemmy.world)

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

Is there any advantage to having extra ports over a dongle with all of those at once?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

IMO, modular ports is not the main selling point for Framework. I was sold on their commitment to a platform that is repairable/upgradable.

Other than they fit nicely into a pocket in my backpack...no. The main reason I love their product is the reparability aspect, allowing me to swap ports is just a neat feature.
