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.
After Superfish I’d NEVER trust Lenovo.
I have a Lenovo I never use because they placed the right shift key and the up arrow key stupidly. As I am typing if I want to capitalize a letter using the right shift key my finger gets the up-arrow key most of the time, I don’t see this for several keystrokes, leading to having to correct the issue. It’s very annoying. It is a nice i7 machine otherwise.
Uhh, get a keyboard?
I have used the machine with a keyboard, but it is a laptop - meant to go places away from a fixed installation. I have an Asus Vivobook with a sane keyboard.
Super glue a small keyboard to it, lol
