So i have my main system, i have been running NixOS on for over a year. It has been a pleasure to daily drive. And ive recently been playing with gentoo and funtoo. And althought alot of information, which is somewhat overwhelming but is slowly growing on me and making me appreatate linux as a whole. So i was wondring what other software users run, and what hardware they run it on. Ive also been looking into replacing my lenovo W540 because the Nvidia K110m is royal pain and kills my battery life. Ive been looking at lenovos t480, t480s t440p. And cant decide, i really would like at least 4 cores, good linux support and long battery life aswell as repairablility. The laptop is going to mostly be a web browsing machine aswell as trying out gentoo and new distros. If you have any suggestions on a laptop id very be much grateful.
Cheers,
Linux Mint Debian Edition is what I’m using on my Mac Mini. Before that it was the Ubuntu Linux Mint.
I have a 2015 MacBook Pro they was running opensuse Leap but it won’t boot or charge now. I need to take it to an Apple repair shop for troubleshooting.
If I were looking for a new laptop I’d look at some of the recent ThinkPad’s like the X1. Or I’d like for a good deal on a new AMD Ryzen 5 or 7 equipped laptop .
But if you’re just going to watch YouTube, you could easily get a Celeron based 13 inch laptop from the past 2 years and is should work fine for that.
