Ooo, nice! I’ve been meaning to learn more about cli/tui stuff, anyway. Thanks!

Tuxedo’s laptops r enticing from their sleek look alone, and their Linux support is enticing. If I’m ever in a spot to buy from them, I definitely will! As for cheap laptops, I’m heavily leaning towards a ThinkPad, although I’ll probably look at what other vendors offer Linux compatibility and how good it is. Thank you!

I’ve heard amazing things about noth Framework nd System76! I’m sure u can’t go wrong with either :) and I feel ya w/ ur avoidance of Apple products, lol

I’ve heard they run Linux well before, but I certainly didn’t expect them to be so popular, lol. Plus they’re cheap, which make them seem like a very nice choice. Thanks for the model specific recs, too!

I have enough money to buy a more modern Lenovo laptop, but I’m definitely considering getting one renewed simply because of how cheap it is. I’d prefer newer age specs tho. Thank you!

Oh :( As annoying as that is I can’t bring myself to completely take it off the board. Thanks for the warning, though! Nobody’s mentioned that so far :)

Ooo, nice! Although I don’t really want to use Ubuntu myself (nothing wrong with the distro itself, I’ve just tried others I like), the knowledge it’s Linux compatible is amazing!

AH. Regardless, thanks for the reply. And I’m happy your Razer is doing u well :)

I’ve heard really highly of framework so far! They seem to be a great company, thanks :)

Thanks! They look good but are a little expensive :( they’re definitely a vendor I’ll look into in the future, though!

YEAH it sucks when drivers for hardware aren’t Linux compatible (my current drawing tablet doesn’t support it… RIP). I’ll be sure 2 head ur warning about HP!

Yeah, it seems like the most worth-it option so far. As much as I’d like a newer laptop getting a refurbished ThinkPad is a pretty nice choice too

They seem pretty nice, and I’m pretty sure it’s the best route to go down for now. I’ll probably look for some credible sellers later and make my decision then

Yeah I’m considering getting one simply bc of the affordability. They also seem to be pretty highly regarded (if the amount of recommendations I’ve gotten says anything)

Framework has quite a nice selection and the modularity is an amazing feature! Although having Linux preinstalled is a pretty big draw, and Sysytem76 has some VERY nice looking machines. Thank you!

I’m heavily considering just getting a refurbished Thinkpad just because of the low cost, along with the support. And yeah, I’ve been making a point to avoid Nvdia for that reason, lol. Thanks!

That is quite a bonus! Framework seems like a really nice choice so far

Ooo, nice! And while I don’t wanna go out of price range being able to support something like Linux would be nice

Ooo, good to know! It sucks they don’t offer hardware replacements on-site, but it’s good to know that they’re easy to find. And I doubt I’m going to be using Arch anytime soon (due to personal inexperience) but I would like to test Pop!_OS. Thank you for the detailed reply :D

I don’t care 4 fingerprint locking anyways so this sounds amazing, thanks!
