I think that there should be a list of officially supported laptops and if you bought anything else then it is your problem and you are welcome to write necessary patches.
It is unfair when people install Linux on an incompatible hardware and then complain.
- pizza234 4y agoTo an extent, there is; Ubuntu holds a list of certified hardware, including laptops: https://ubuntu.com/certified https://ubuntu.com/certified. Notably, the latest Dell XPS is certified.
- wyldfire 4y agoThat is awesome, I didn't know this existed. I've stuck with xps13 for the last ~3 laptops and that's worked well. I'd like to consider one of those ARM laptops next, maybe I'll find one in here. So far the first two or three generations of ARM laptops have been just okay. I'm hoping the fact that Apple has jumped all-in on ARM will encourage other vendors to invest more here.
- jonas-w 4y agoThere exist many entries on the ArchWiki. The ArchWiki is (IMO) one of the best sources for linux in general not only archlinux. E.g. this entry for Lenovo[0] has a huge list with Lenovo Laptops and what works/doesn't work. There are also some tweaks you can apply for specific Models.
