I have a 14” 2018 LG Gram and I run Pop!_OS on it with minimal config. The only thing I did was leave 100% scaling, but put on 1.5x font size (via gnome-tweaks). Might be different on a 17”. Haven’t found any issues at all, however my uses are quite pedestrian. Almost just terminal, Pycharm, browsers. Printer and wifi are all fine.
I ran ElementaryOS on it but then I ran into a few things: 1) troubles getting audio out on HDMI instead of internal speakers (look Mom, no dongles!), 2) video in Chrome browser is broken, 3) some sort of high pitch, very loud tone at startup each time after updating system software.
On Pop, I’m really happy with it. 14” is incredibly light and battery lasts all day for me. Keyboard is good - Ctrl button on outside left where it should be.
- kjeetgill 8y agoHuh. Pop and elementary are both Ubuntu based. I wonder why they gave such different experiences. Do they vary kernel builds by that much?
- Canadauni 8y agoI think that the team at System 76 includes some additional hardware drivers and tweaks that might provide a wider range of compatibility.
- ekianjo 8y agoDoesn't Elementary uses the LTS version of Ubuntu? That may explain differences in hardware support since it would use an older kernel.
