Yeah, this is not FUD. I have a thinkpad edge running Ubuntu (and I tried a few other distros). Both the Broadcom wifi and the AMD graphics are very wonky. Broadcom worked, but a kernel upgrade broke it. AMD driver works, kind of, but not when I plug in an external screen.
I had it fail on me during a presentation I was giving. Next time I'll use my macbook, just to be safe. Obviously I don't blame Ubuntu. I blame myself for not buying a laptop with Ubuntu support.
Next time I'll buy System 76.
- rlpb 13y agoA general rule for good Linux support (not just Ubuntu) is to avoid Broadcom wifi. Get Intel wifi, and Intel graphics. Or, as you say, something that is Ubuntu certified.
