So who is making good laptops that run Linux well these days?

  The Lenovo T460s is pretty great all around. I suggest Debian Testing and Gnome 3.

    New Lenovo trackpads are an absolute pain in the ass to use. I rage quit my T440s for this alone because on the long run in starts grinding your gears pretty hard. I am glad you had a good experience with it but I strongly recommend anyone considering it to actually try and experiment with it for a couple hours.

      And I'm in the middle of you two: My t460 is OK. It's not the worst laptop I've had, but it's not even close to the best. Took a little wrangling to get wifi and sound working, but wasn't too bad.

  Dell. The Dell XPS 13 is the best line of laptops I've owned. They come with Linux preinstalled, and all the drivers that they write to support the hardware are pushed upstream to the kernel, so you can run whatever distro you want.

    I've been eyeing one of these off and now they have a higher specification developer edition, I think it's game off. Been wanting to move back to Linux for a while now anyway.

    Seconded. I picked one up off Dell Outlet as a disposable machine, but it ends up going with me more than anything else. Actually having Dell dedicate support resources to Linux makes a huge difference in compatibility too.
