I want the opposite: id like a way to run the windows kernel, drivers and most low level OS stuff by windows, but with a Linux user Interface: Cinammon, apt and all the debian stuff.
I run Mint as my main OS, but hardware compatibility is still a headache in Linux for me.
- throwaway48476 2y agoWhat hardware isn't compatible?
- trelane 2y agoIf you're not buying a laptop with Linux preinstalled and supported by the hardware vendor, you're going to have a hard time. You might get lucky, but it sounds like you've not been lucky.
- tombert 2y agoI’ve never bought one of the dedicated Linux laptops, but I’ve had pretty good luck with AMD stuff. My current laptop, Thinkpad P16s AMD Gen 2, was pretty straightforward to get working with NixOS. No special drivers, and everything, including WiFi and function buttons on the keyboard, worked fine without any kind of special concessions. This was also the case for my last non-Mac, from 2017-2020, I got Ubuntu installed on there without many headaches, and it wasn’t a specific Linux laptop, though again it was AMD.
- DeathArrow 2y agoDoesn't WSL do that?
- magicalhippo 2y agoWSL 1 did, WSL 2 runs in a VM.
