Yeah these days if you want a linux laptop you're going to have a better experience either installing linux under bootcamp on a macbook, or getting a laptop with linux pre-installed, or getting a chromebook and running ubuntu under crouton. The dual boot days are basically over. If you have windows often its boot load locked into windows10. You can run bash ubuntu under windows 10 now, but you still have the overhead of running windows10 itself compared to the speed and efficiency of running a linux desktop like xfce.
- ckdarby 10y agoHighly recommend the Asus zenbook. Was able to run Ubuntu right out of the box with everything working aside from having to rebind the screen brightness keys.
- TimothyE 10y ago+1 for the Zenbook. I've got a UX31A (which uses the same body as the Air) and I've been running Ubuntu pretty much stock for 3 years on it. Best ultra-portable I've had (had a couple of the older XPS 13's but not the newest)
- llamaz 10y agoWhat? I'm dual booting ubuntu on a macbook air right now. It works perfectly, apart from the webcam (well...until I upgraded to xenial and systemd. Now I'm using OS X. I'm not really helping my case here)
