In this video, DHH mentions Dell XPS and the AMD 395 Plus (he holds up the actual laptop, which I think is a HP ZBook Ultra G1a) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIdg-QBU6GU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIdg-QBU6GU

The high end one that's recommended is the New Dell XPS 14 that essentially looks like Macbook Pro. Also Michael Dell is a notable supporter of Omarchy, so hopefully that means some good support and stability.

  > Also Michael Dell is a notable supporter of Omarchy Ah yes, like NVIDIA having good support and stability on Linux for many many decades at this point because Jensen is a fan of Linux :) Don't purchase equipment and gear based on potential future support, vote properly with your wallet once things are supported instead, this is the only way these for-profit companies listen, and even that sometimes don't work. But don't go by what the CEO supposedly "supports" based on financial backing, it means little today.

    DGX Spark and DGX Station ship with Ubuntu, every server they make runs linux, microsoft had to add gpu support to wsl because everything nvidia ai related works only on linux

    nVidia has provided feature parity for their GPUs between Windows and Linux for longer than even fglrx was a thing. Just because they don't give you all their source on command doesn't mean they weren't supporting Linux for decades. They were the only GPU that even worked halfway on Linux (and BSD) for a long time.

I've been using ThinkPad E14 (AMD Ryzen 7, 16GB RAM, 512 SSD) - very happy with it. No problems with performance, battery, etc. at all. The new Dell XPS 13/14/16 is also good. Just get one with Windows and wipe it clean when installing Linux. In fact, I was going to buy a $4K M4 MacBook before I saw Omarchy and decided to give it a try with a new $730 ThinkPad. Exceeded all my expectations. Omarchy literally saved me thousands of dollars.

I am running it on the Framework 13 and 16. Both are awesome devices, but I'm partial to the 16. Beautiful screen, great keyboard, and I can easily swap in an NVIDIA card when I want. Battery life isn't the best in this beast. I'd love to try a Dell Panther Lake laptop and may end up with one in the near future. DHH reports Apple Silicon-ish battery life.
