PipeWire made sound finally work flawlessly for me on Linux, Proton made it possible to play a ton of games, graphics drivers being stable, especially for Vulcan and Firefox enabling hardware acceleration.
Some things are worse as you note, but there have been som important improvements.
- oblio 3y agoIs there a mainstream laptop on which Linux runs as well as Windows? I'd really want one that doesn't cost 3k+.
- MaKey 3y agoThe Linux support for ThinkPads is pretty good I think. I've been using a T14 AMD Gen 1 for three years now with Ubuntu. The hardware is supported by the LVFS too. I'm upgrading to a T14 AMD Gen 4 shortly and will be running Linux (Ubuntu) again.

The version with NVIDIA RTX 4070 costs 1700 USD at Best Buy (the one with RTX 4090 may exceed your budget)

- Jenda_ 3y agoI have HP ProBook 430 G6 and I have not noticed any problems (I don't know how Windows run on this, though - never tried). I have never tested the fingerprint reader, all other features work.
- rpmisms 3y agoAny recent Thinkpad will do fine. The Apple Silicon laptops can't run Windows, but can run linux, so there's that, too. Also, Dell XPS laptops do very well with linux.
