Still no where near as bad a Linux on the laptop the last time I tried it. I haven't used Linux on a laptop in a decade because it was so bad I swore it off.

- j-james 6y agoA lot has changed in the last decade, particularly with TLP and now suspend / hibernate being set up by default on most distributions. You might give it a try again.
- toinetoine 6y agoI was in the same boat until summer of 2020. Switched to ubuntu 20.04 w/ gnome desktop on my home laptop and haven't looked back.
- konart 6y agoI have Fedora 33-34 with gnome (initially with KDE as a I was a fan back in my Ubuntu\Arch days) and I only keep it to install updates from time to time to see if it is as usable for a general use as macOS. Still nowhere near. Perfect for coding though.

- kuresov 6y ago10 years is a long time. I run Linux on a Carbon X1 and it's been great. I think it's about 4 years old now.
- Ballas 6y agoI have been using linux on a laptop for the past 5 years. The only issue I have is with Nvidia (which is a requirement in my case).
