The child comment is dead for some reason so I can't reply, but he's right: it's important to note that filtering can be difficult, bexause even laptops that nominally support Linux (or ship with it!) can have terrible support. The Dell XPS developer editions (I bought two, one for work and one for home) are the worst Linux compatibility experience I've ever had. Amazing hardware, but shame on me for believing the line that Dell had turned over a new leaf and was competent now.
- jessaustin 6y agoI bought one with Ubuntu installed, and have had a few small problems. I.e., power remaining is slightly optimistic: it shut down this morning with 3% showing. Also it seems to have more trouble connecting to paired bluetooth devices than my phone has. I like it well enough to live with these issues. Is there something awful coming soon?
- wutbrodo 6y agoI mentioned this in my other comment but should have mentioned it here too: I got these in 2015/16, so I can't comment on what the line is like now. My main point was that shipping with Linux is no guarantee that they'll work well, as ludicrous as that sounds.
- danielscrubs 6y agoI’m not an electrical engineer but batteries don’t give perfect output constantly so your three percent might have been correct. It’s an hard problem and if you want it to be “it should always be able to go to zero” then they will just increase the margin of when to shut down and people will wonder where their battery life went.
