Looking for a 2-in-1 with good linux compatibility to daily drive, should I avoid OLED displays? - sh.itjust.works
I’m looking for such a device: - 2-in-1 laptop, or at least a laptop with a touchscreen (optimally also with a stylus) - 14 or 15 inch screen - Good battery life (thus probably intel CPU/GPU) and lightweight - Optimally not a thinkpad because I don’t use the trackpoint and I prefer to tap the touchpad instead of clicking physical keys. The candidates I’m currently interested in are lenovo yoga 7i 14/15 and asus zenbook 2-in-1s, but they all use OLED displays (I heard that yoga 7i has IPS versions but they are not available in my region). For these devices is OLED a problem with linux? Mostly, does linux’s software-only dimming make battery life worse? And are there ways to avoid burn-in risks? (I’m using wayland compositor niri) If OLED is a true concern, are there relatively new LCD 2-in-1 models with good linux support and battery life?
