I have used MacOS forever and it has worked well for me.
I would love to use Linux + Framework Laptop (awesome hardware). What I need is some suggestions for a distribution that just works. My workload is development plus lots of web browsing (100+ tabs).
- pjmlp 2y agoThat hardly exists, there is always something on laptops that isn't supported, or needs a couple of late nights to properly configure. The best Linux experience remains classical desktops.
- dualogy 2y agoCan't confirm for the last ~12 years, various laptops from Dell and Lenovo, lower and higher end, various distros ranging from Ubuntu to Fedora to VoidLinux to now Garuda (an Arch deriv), various DEs / WMs (Gnome, KDE, i3). But then I never multi-monitor. But everything these laptops had, was working without a hitch.
- pjmlp 2y agoLikewise I can't confirm, in the various laptops I have used since 1999, there was always something broken, between wireless, battery, finger printer reader, 3D, hardware video decoding, webcam. Toshiba, Dell, IBM, Lenovo, Asus, HP.
- felurx 2y agoMy experience with a Framework Laptop has been that the one or two things that are relevant were quite well-documented, I'd guess because Framework actually cares about Linux and there's a lot of overlap between "folks who want what Framework offers" and "folks who want what Linux offers"
- adhamsalama 2y agoFedora KDE is working well for me.
- adamomada 2y agoIt should be noted that this is exactly what you get by default with Asahi Linux for new arm Macs
- sspiff 2y agoI find that Fedora generally just works, has a lot of very up to date packages and requires a lot less tweaking and setup work than something like Arch. If you don't need cutting edge software packages and run older hardware, I've been very happy running Debian for a long time.
