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.

@darkghosthunter @UniversalBlue My laptop works flawlessly with #Debian GNU/Linux.

There you are.

The first laptop I ever bought in about 2002 also worked flawlessly with #gnulinux

@darkghosthunter @UniversalBlue It doesn't really matter much. Just buy from manufacturers who support GNU/Linux, or where GNU/Linux support can be demonstrated.

The one I have now is a Thinkpad (using an external wirless "dongle" since I use the Linux-Libre kernel), and the one from 2002 was a Toshiba Satellite that ran SUSE and then Debian. I took an educated gamble at that time since compatibility was harder to research in those days.
