I’m on the market to buy a new laptop, and Lemmy has successfully coaxed and goaded me to give Linux a serious try.

I’ve never used *nix as my personal OS.

Which hardware/laptop do you recommend? And which OS to pair it with for a Linux newbie?

I’m a software engineer, and quit my job to pursue an MSc in AI. So my uses will be:

  • programming
  • study
  • browsing lemmy
  • gaming
  • fosforus@sopuli.xyz

    I have that too, with AMD chips. It was sold as a gaming machine, but using Windows I never was able to play anything without getting hard crashes.

    Works on Linux just fine. Dunno what the fuck was the issue on Windows, I suppose heat.
