Re: [PLUG] Linux Laptop recommendation
|
Linux laptops were discussed a couple of years ago, and I explained
there why I would (could) not buy a Dell Linux laptop. Check the
archives.
I have had good success with laptops from System 76 (system76.com),
having bought 4 over the years at work and at home. They come with
Ubuntu pre-loaded and have responsive support. I would buy from them
again.
