HN, I am thinking of buying new Laptop and I will be running Linux on it. Can you please recommend me good Laptop that runs Linux well(Laptop can come with any OS but must run Linux very well)?<p>It could be better if these criterias are fulfilled:
1) Best performing AMD processor(or is Intel good?)
2) No Nvidia. Good Intel igpu or ryzen igpu will suffice. but it must support VAAPI very good for hardware acceleration.
3) Good Battery life
4) Good Keyboards and Touchpad
5) Good number of modern ports

I would have preferred an AMD Ryzen system, but the design and configuration characteristics of the Framework product are excellent.<p>This is where laptop design should be going.<p>Disclaimer: Am fussy about screens, keyboards, ports, and longevity. Significant past product experience with IBM, Lenovo, Dell, Asus, Acer.
Does anyone here have a Lemur Pro from System76? I want to buy a new laptop for development and considering the Lemur Pro, Macbook Pro (Intel), or a Dell. I have had a good experience with my current Dell Inspiron 7460: it is compatible with Ubuntu out of the box. However, it started to fail after four years of use: if you move the lid, it may get frozen. I do not know if a Clevo computer will be reliable to be my new computer for work.
I would recommend the Thinkpads: it's rock solid and used by a lot of Linux contributors, so the hardware is well-supported and the installation is documented
The #1 problem with Linux and new laptops is s3 sleep/suspend is no longer supported because M$ no longer believes in it.
Stay away from Dell. I just got a new Dell that has 0 support for this. Even though there's an option in the BIOS, it does nothing. I'm forced to use hibernate instead of suspend.
You might want to wait for the new Intel Alder Lake processors or upcoming AMD options. Early benchmarks look promising with a decent jump in performance and efficiency and they should be rolling out in laptops the next few months.
I have a xps 9310 with ubuntu. It works well after figuring out all the configurations.<p>Battery and trackpad are garbage but I use external mouse and chargerm
