Not against #Fedora, #Linux, or even @UniversalBlue at all, but I don't recommend using Linux on laptops at all.

On desktops? Yeah, it works great. On Laptop, however, I've never got someone who said that his laptops works flawlessly. There is always a catch: webcams, ports, trackpad, speakers, suspend/hibernation.

I'll always recommend a #MacBook instead, over any Linux laptop that is not 100% certified to work.

Running Kubuntu 25.10 flawlessly on my HP Elitebook, everything just works.

Maybe I'm just lucky. 🤷‍♂️

@spacemadness @UniversalBlue I have the theory that Linux has more chances to work on hardware that's above $1,500.

Maybe, that's why I always buy used.

$400 Cdn 32gb ram, very fast running linux, but to be fair it was also fast running Windows 11 too.

Haha no. Lots of companies replace their laptops every couple of years so their are plenty of places to find used ones and the good thing is they are usually pretty high end business machines.

But I did get lucky with the 32gb of ram.
