I’m currently using an HP with Windows 11 and WSL but I’d love to switch to Linux, proper - at least just on my development machine. I’m standard LAMP, though I also would use Node and Rails, too.
I use AI and PS (though I’m familiar with Inkspot and Gimp, if WINE isn’t perfect for them), Visual Studio Code/Codium, Git, and Chrome/Firefox.
What are some of the best places to look for machines that can work for this? I’d prefer Debian, though I’m fine with Ubuntu. I’ve looked at Dell but they seem limited with what is available.
Lenovo laptops generally work well with Linux but even your HP should run it fine.
However if you have the budget definitely get a machine from a dedicated Linux OEM like System 76, Tuxedo, Slimbook etc. That’s also one in the UK who I can’t remember. Just Google it.
Not just Lenovo. ThinkPads.
Starlite?
Planning on getting their new 2-in-1 Laptop
Entroware. Just heard it on a Linux podcast and it reminded me.
