Dell buisness laptops aren't horrible.
Recent Thinkpad laptops have moved away from good linux compatibility. My 2016 ThinkPad still doesn't have a functional linux fingerprint scanner.
- regecks 8y agoAre you sure? I'm using a X1 Carbon Gen 5 (which I believe is 2016? maybe 2017), and I read that Linux 4.18 (which comes with Ubuntu 18.10) now has functional fingerprint support. I haven't tried it yet, not a fan of biometric authentication. Either way, the laptop works great with Linux. Edit: Looks like the fprint support is not quite there yet: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/issues/54 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libfprint/libfprint/issues/54
