Which lenovo product would you recommend for a linux laptop?
- Sylos 9y agoGenerally, Thinkpads are recommended. I think, Red Hat employees all have Thinkpads or something along those lines, which is why they get lots of patches to make things go smoothly. No official support from Lenovo, though.
- inertial 9y agoUbuntu on Thinkpad T series works well, e.g. https://certification.ubuntu.com/hardware/201702-25371/ https://certification.ubuntu.com/hardware/201702-25371/ They are rugged and have a good keyboard. You can find a brand new at 70% of a Dell XPS price (at Lenovo's outlet / eBay / BHPhotovideo).
- api_or_ipa 9y agoWoah I didn't know Canonical certifies Ubuntu on certain hardware. That's incredible, I love linux but I'm not a sysadmin and I've been burned before by hardware manufactures publishing windows-only driver binaries.
- pawelk 9y agoI use ThinkPad E450 (i7/16GB/SSD/FullHD). Started with Ubuntu 17.04 (unity), updated to 17.10 (gnome), didn't have any problems.
