This is pretty much the opposite of my experience with Ubuntu vs Windows.
All of my hardware worked immediately after install on Linux whereas Windows required hunting down drivers.
Most impressive was that the suspend/resume feature works perfectly in Ubuntu (and the suspend/resume completes in 2-3 seconds) whereas in Windows, it goes into suspend after a good bit of crunching but never finishes the resume process (I hear the system fans/drive wake but nothing else happens and requires a hard reset).
- regularfry 11y agoThe problem here is that the author had hardware that was bought with Linux in mind. The experience should have been the same as yours, but wasn't.
- antod 11y agoWhen I think of choosing hardware with Linux in mind, the primary overriding consideration for me is using Intel graphics rather than Nvidia or AMD. That sucks if you want fast 3D, but it is by far the best choice for a mostly 2D desktop experience. Using Intel for wifi/ethernet etc is also a good (but less important) choice.
