I'm doing development work that is maxing out my macbook air laptop, it's time to buy a desktop machine as my daily driver (when I'm at my desk). I need to drive multiple monitors and handle normal CPU and memory intensive tasks, and it needs to be linux compatible out of the box. Where do I go these days?
The only place I am aware of that openly advertises their Linux compatibility out of the box is System 76.<p><a href="https://system76.com/" rel="nofollow">https://system76.com/</a><p>That being said, there is definitely a price premium.
Plenty of good options nowadays:<p><a href="https://shop.puri.sm/" rel="nofollow">https://shop.puri.sm/</a><p><a href="https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en" rel="nofollow">https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en</a><p><a href="https://system76.com/" rel="nofollow">https://system76.com/</a><p><a href="https://frame.work/" rel="nofollow">https://frame.work/</a><p><a href="https://pine64.com/product-category/laptops/" rel="nofollow">https://pine64.com/product-category/laptops/</a><p><a href="https://minifree.org/" rel="nofollow">https://minifree.org/</a><p>Lenovo, Dell, probably some other large OEMs have them too.
For desktops pretty much everything will be compatible, in my experience. Never had an issue. Got a custom build about a year ago with a slightly older motherboard f450/Ryzen 7 3700x & 2070super / nvme /ssds<p>It's not like modern laptops with all kinds of hacks needed for Linux.
