- neogodless 4y agoHa I wonder about that. How many laptops have you bought, over what timespan? What versions/variations of Linux have you run? What are your use cases? I put Linux Mint (Cinnamon) on a Lenovo Legion 5. It's really pretty good, but has glitches. With Cinnamon (X11 + GNOME) there's weird issues with fractional scaling. (1080p laptop; I have bad eyesight and prefer 125%.) Added KDE Plasma 5 which fixed the scaling issue, but I lost the ability to control brightness from the laptop buttons. So I'm 0 for 1 on "any laptop" and "no glitches" :)
- habibur 4y agoFedora. Last 6 laptops. Since 2016. Started with Lenovo. Second one was MSI. And now have moved to cheaper ones as Linux, at least Fedora, runs on anything I buy.
- neogodless 4y agoDo you run Steam? Do you utilize fractional scaling? My only known issue with Linux Mint (GNOME) was fractional scaling issues, which mostly affected Steam / games. "Runs on" is a bit low of a bar! But I'm glad you don't run into any glitches. Thanks for responding!
