I've been told to check out Asus



My current laptop is an ASUS ROG but I'm waiting to see who else is competing, I kinda want hardware that'd be most likely to have better Linux support.


Haha, you literally stole the thought out of my mind when I had hit send - Asus has some great value/performance, but I wasn't sure of the Linux support.

I have a good friend who runs linux natively (I use a VM) and is raving about the new Lenovo Carbon X1 as well.


Don't get me wrong, I run a Ubuntu Variant natively, no dual-booting on my ASUS ROG laptop, but the Nvidia drivers are iffy, also battery life is a downer. Would love to see a Linux compliant laptop with amazing battery life. I would think MacBooks are very common enough hardware wise to where Linux support would be pretty decent, same with a Surface... Maybe even the Dell ones, so I'm just waiting and waiting...


Great battery life is what keeps me on MacOS. I heard the Thinkpad Carbon X1 Battery life in Linux is pretty good.
