Ask HN: Whats the Best Linux Supported Notebook 2019?
I need a new notebook for work. Running ubuntu. At least 32GB RAM and LTE. Are there any out there that are not designed for gamers, eg. thin and solid like the ThinkPad's?
The thinkpads are good. Dell has a good lineup of laptops that support ubuntu right from the factory. XPS line would be my bet and if you want more business leaning laptops the Latitude series.
I would _not_ recommend Thinkpad CX1(gen6). It works but has a number of problems despite being Ubuntu Certified. Like trackpad and trackpoint not working / funny, fingerprint scanner, overheating, or closing the laptop lid. An older Thinkpad may be a better choice.
As asked for thinkpad;s alternative: HP ZBook https://store.hp.com/us/en/mlp/laptops/workstation-352501--1
I looked at these, expecting the "alternative operating systems" to be maybe Ubuntu, but shocked ticsee a FreeDOS offering
The FreeDOS option is basically the option to not pay for Windows ($229 for Windows 10 Professional, $197 for Windows 10 Home).
Purism laptops might also fit the described need https://puri.sm/products/librem-13/
Entroware (UK) company builds linux-supported laptops / PCs.
Any System 76 laptop
Thanks, I didn't know them.
BTW: The first online store for notebooks i see that isn't filled with tons of javascript and overlays and all the stuff. That alone is a reason to buy one from them.
