I'll stay on a MacBook thanks.
I owned a Dell XPS that officially ships with Ubuntu, it was a dreadful experience. I had countless software issues. Hibernation, throttling, video acceleration, touchpad, all buggy. Not to mention the build quality of the laptop itself. I will never run Linux on a laptop again.

- dsego 1y agoI've had good experience with linux on thinkpads. Booted kubuntu on a framework 13 recently, connected to wifi, all good. Ultimately, if you choose well supported hardware with good drivers, it should work fine, even better than windows. One should be picky about which laptop to buy, avoid broadcom wifi chips, avoid screen resolutions that require fractional scaling, etc.
- westpfelia 1y agoThat all sounds like a Dell problem.. I ran the same Mint intstall on a asus zenbook prime from 2012 to 2022. Thing was a champ.
