I’m thinking of getting a laptop to run Linux on. I’ve heard Lenovo is generally well-supported (particularly models that come with Linux pre-installed).

Is there any particular hardware I should watch out for / avoid, and / or prefer? Any other brands / models people would particularly recommend?

    I would say generally most laptops from big brands will support Linux and run it very well, in most cases better than Windows. As for what model or brand you want that really depends on what kind of work you’re going to be doing on that laptop, as well as how futureproof you want it to be.

    I ended up getting an Oryx Pro 5 from System76 since I play a lot of games and also use GPU intensive software (3D modeling, GPU computations, etc). This computer fit my needs though this computer might not necessarily be for you and your needs.
