I've been running Ubuntu on an LG Gram 17. Huge screen (true 17"), 18 hour battery and weighs Les than 4 lbs. It also has a metal chassis. Only device that doesn't work is the fingerprint reader.
- gnfargbl 5y agoAnother very happy LG Gram / Linux user here. Fingerprint reader seems to work for me, running Ubuntu 22.04.
- indymike 5y agoso... I upgraded to 22.04... and the reader now works.
- pliuchkin 5y agoI've got a LG Gram 16" running with Fedora. Loving it.
- antongribok 5y agoOne more very satisfied user of an LG Gram 17. A beautiful LG 2560x1600 screen, amazing (also LG) battery life, less than 3 lbs. I really like the keyboard and touchpad, more so than on a Mac (but that's very personal). The RAM can be upgraded to 40 GB, and there is a second M.2 slot if you want disk mirroring or striping. I run Fedora and have zero problems. (I generally upgrade 3 months after a release.) The model that I have has a 72 Wh battery and newer 17 and 16 inch models now come with an 80 Wh battery. Mine is 3 years old now and it's aged much better than I expected. I can watch a 4K movie over a network CephFS mount and after 2 hours, my battery is at 80%. I bought it on a whim at Costco, and I seriously think I'll get another one next time (maybe a 16"). Costco drops the prices to $350-$400 off every few months, and they're a steal for what you get.
