Linux laptop recommendation thread🐧💻 (lemmy.world)

I'm on the market to buy a new laptop, and Lemmy has successfully coaxed and goaded me to give Linux a serious try.

I've never used *nix as my personal OS.

Which hardware/laptop do you recommend? And which OS to pair it with for a Linux newbie?

I'm a software engineer, and quit my job to pursue an MSc in AI. So my uses will be:

  • programming
  • study
  • browsing lemmy
  • gaming

I just want a modern AMD apu laptop with coreboot, slotted ram and multiple nvme slots, but like everything these days it would seem I'm asking for too much.

I bought a lenovo p14s AMD 2 years ago without OS, 32GB RAM and M.2 SSD, very happy with Arch, BTW. Coreboot would be nice, but it doesn't seem feasible yet...

Why not?

Modern CPUs, especially AMD. Correct me If I'm wrong !

[-] const_void@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah, that's incorrect. System 76 is producing machines with modern CPUs that use coreboot:

Nice , but my question was more if it possible to put it on other commercial machines, especially AMD one
