I ran a debian-based distro on a Lenovo thinkpad in graduate school from 2008 to about 2011. I had basically the same experience. Everything worked 95% of the time, but that other 5% felt entirely random and pretty dehabilitating.
Now I use a mix of Win, OS X, and Ubuntu depending on what I am trying to accomplish. I make heavy use of Linux servers, but have no inclination of using one as a primary end-user desktop environment again.
- yulaow 10y agoYou should try. The changes happened in the last 5 years are extremly big. I mean, all my notebooks (some DELL and a lenovo t430) work better with any linux distro compared to win10, and I even get +30/40% hours of battery on them
- bostand 10y agosame experience here. When people complain about Linux my first question is if they had given it a serious try in the last 2 years.
- wtetzner 10y agoWhich distro's have you used on those notebooks? I'll likely be switching back to Linux laptop from Mac, and I'm trying to figure out which distro I want to use.
