There's only one ThinkPad with Ryzen that comes preloaded with Linux last I checked, but I'm hoping more come out soon since I really like ThinkPads. Either way, ThinkPads are worth a look since they play well with Linux, whether they come with Linux preloaded or not.
I'm also in the market (to replace my MacBook-esque XPS 13 Developer Edition), so if someone wants to suggest me a (other than ThinkPads) 13-14 inch laptop that will play well with Linux [not necessarily preloaded], let me know.
- lostlogin 5y agoThe moves towards getting Ubuntu onto an M1 appear to be moving along quite nicely if you are patient and Apple hardware is of interest.
- kaladin-jasnah 5y agoNot interested. I'm not patient, and I don't want a laptop with just USB-C ports since I find it extremely limiting. Plus, x86 and mainstream aarch64 hardware feels like it will always be ahead since it isn't a reverse engineered effort.
- smallerfish 5y agoYou've checked out system76's offerings? They're not 4k, but otherwise they seem nice.
- kaladin-jasnah 5y agoDon't like their rebadged Clevo hardware (I know they put a lot more effort than that, and I appreciate it, but the look is not for me). Other than that, IIRC they just came out with a Ryzen laptop and it's too big for my taste.
