- KitDuncan 10y agoCheck out Solus. It's the best out of the box Linux experience I've had by far and the developers are super quick and friendly!
- mattdm 10y agoWhat are the things you appreciate about Solus as a developer? What makes it the best out-of-the-box experience for you?
- karmajunkie 10y agoSecond to this... power management, fonts, hibernation—all the things I take for granted using a mac that I'm suddenly reminded of as soon as I try to use a linux-based notebook. 7 hour battery? Hah—good luck with that when your distro kicks it into performance mode for no apparent reason randomly. These are all the things that keep me using linux on a VM instead of as the host. I could live with it when I was single and had a ton of time on my hands in my 20s. Those days are (sadly!) long gone.

- karmajunkie 10y agoThanks for the rec, looking at purchasing a new machine in the near future, I'll check that one out.
- partisan 10y agoThe Linux experience on the Chromebook should be researched before buying it. The best experience comes through removing the write protection on the motherboard and flashing the BIOS. I haven't done that myself yet.
- kzisme 10y agoI haven't touched Fedora in 4 years just about - due to the wifi being so flaky :/
