I went back to #Windows for now you guys. I just can't. Every. Single. #Linux. Distro. has some kind of hardware issue. First it was the sound not adjusting with the GNOME volume slider. Then it was packages not being available in rpm or flatpak, and I'd have to spend forever finding a tutorial to compile from source. Then it was firefox having video stutter issues. Then I switch to Mint and I can't adjust screen brightness for no reason.
Constant headaches. Windows just works.
all that and Linux SUCKS for laptop battery life. It halved my battery no matter the distro.
That’s what I was thinking I’d grab in the future. I’ve read about System 76 a few times now.
Yeah they make their own distro (Pop! OS) and all their laptops ship with Linux pre-installed so they’re definitely a safe choice.
I’ve always had good luck with Lenovos as well. I’ve had an NVIDIA and an AMD one and they’ve both run really well with Linux.
